2024 Virtual Senior Retreat<br>
<br>
<br>
February 11th through 17th, 2024<br>
Anywhere and Everywhere<br>
<br>
This virtual retreat focuses on promoting a sense of wellbeing and<br>
self-confidence despite living with newly acquired vision loss, and/or<br>
lifelong blindness. Our collective experience has taught us that learning<br>
about blindness from competent blind people, while sharing the camaraderie<br>
of fellow retreat members, strengthens personal growth and guides seniors to<br>
advocate for themselves. Participants can look forward to receiving training<br>
in basic skills in adaptive techniques, development of new strategies for<br>
solving problems, an introduction to valuable resources, all to be better<br>
able to determine for themselves, what steps they can take to Live The Life<br>
They Want. We cannot overstate the positive impact an individual will<br>
experience as a member of a group of seniors, working together, sharing the<br>
life-changing activities in a retreat of this nature; just ask one of our<br>
recent graduates!<br>
