Hello All

Thanks friends

2027 National Senior Retreat

2027 Virtual Senior Retreat

Registration Open

Dates of the retreat:

January 10-16, 2027
Anywhere and Everywhere

This virtual retreat

promotes a sense of well being

and self confidence

regardless of your lack of vision

. Our collective experience

has taught us that learning

about blindness from competent blind people,

while sharing the camaraderie

of fellow retreat members,

 strengthens personal growth

 and guides seniors to advocate for themselves.

Participants can look forward to

receiving training in basic nonvisual skills,

the development of new strategies

for solving problems,

and 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

and sharing life changing activities

in a retreat of this nature.

Just ask one of our recent graduates!
