Why attend a retreat specifically for visually impaired women?At times when facing vision loss, many women may feel isolated because they often don't know anyone who shares their unique challenges. This retreat is an opportunity to connect and share stories with other women experiencing vision loss. You will also leave with empowering tools and new insight through experiential activities. This retreat is an experience to truly own and celebrate who you are and your story.
Becky Andrews, LCMHC, who is blind from Retinitis Pigmentosa and Lisa Bradford, LCSW will lead you on an amazing journey of connection, learning, growth, adventure and laughter.
