>This virtual retreat focuses on promoting a

>camaraderie of fellow retreat members, 
>strengthens personal growth and guides seniors 
>to advocate for themselves. Participants can 
>look forward to receiving training in basic 
>skills in adaptive techniques, development of 
>new strategies for solving problems, an 
>introduction to valuable resources, all to be 
>better able to determine for themselves, what 
>steps they can take to Live The Life They Want. 
>We cannot overstate the positive impact an 
>individual will experience as a member of a 
>group of seniors, working together, sharing the 
>life-changing activities in a retreat of this 
>nature; just ask one of our recent graduates!
