The retreat is a weeklong virtual experience that includes basic lessons in nonvisual techniques. Our instructors are blind role models with lots of experience. We charge a nominal fee to cover some costs associated with developing a thumb drive that participants receive following the retreat. While we generally serve seniors 50 and over, we are happy to accommodate others who may be a little younger. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">The dates for the 2027 retreat are January 10 through 16.
