Candle in the Window, a small national non-profit organization with the
aim
of building both individual skills and a sense of community among persons
with visual impairments, welcomes blind people with varied experiences to
join them at their 21st annual conference entitled "Family Matters: The
Roles of Blindness in Family Life."
We aim to address such questions as:
* What family influences continue to shape our approach to blindness?
* What factors (culture, the "blindness system," etc.) influenced our
families' attitude towards blindness, and how did they respond?
* What differences, if any, exist between family relationships of those
who
grew up while blind compared to those who became blind later in life?
* How do we negotiate dependence-independence issues in current family
relationships?
In addition to provocative presentations and stimulating discussions,
there
will be plenty of time for hiking, eating, singing, quiet reflection, and
just plain "hanging out."
The conference will take place from Wednesday, September 10 through the
morning of Sunday, September 14th, at Wooded Glen, a lovely retreat center
located in Henryville, Indiana just outside of Louisville, Kentucky.
Cost: $475 for two to a room; $455 for three to a room; and $405 for four
to
a room. A $40 discount if we receive a $35 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit by
August
1); limited scholarships and payment plans available.
