(All day): Changing Vision Changing Life II, Immersion Training(All day): Changing Vision Changing Life II, Immersion Training (All day) The LightHouse's five-day immersion training program at the Enchanted Hills Retreat in Napa brings together up to 14 adult students of all ages (18 and up), from Northern California and the Central Valley, who are either new to low vision or blindness, or have had a significant change in vision and requested additional training. The focus of training throughout the week is presented in four to five sessions per day that include:
Every person and every group of students that come together are different. Blind or low vision students who are interested should have a genuine interest in learning the skills to move forward, enjoy learning with a group of peers and be able to participate in a full day of active learning and physical participation from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. CVCL I will help you understand what is available to you and allow you to get hands-on with new skills. But more than anything, CVCL brings students a renewed confidence in experiencing changing vision. While the experience is different for everyone, students benefit from connecting with other blind or low vision adults, both students and teachers, to learn or relearn skills and to get back into the swing of life. Students live in comfortable shared accommodations (minimum two to a room) and are provided three meals per day. We also offer transportation to Napa from San Francisco, Berkeley, San Rafael and Eureka. Fee for Training: $1,300 for five days and $100 for round trip transportation. There is no cost to attend if you are 55 or older and living in San Francisco, Alameda, Marin, Humboldt or Del Norte counties and limited scholarships are available for persons under 55 and not eligible for Department of Rehabilitation Services. The Changing Vision Changing Life Immersion Training is open to adults who are ready for a jump start or, a recharge as vision has changed. Interested?

We will explore cultural conditioning, which is at odds with sound self-esteem and learn a fresh approach to living with greater self-esteem. The “I Love Me”™ Meditation is a simple and profound heart-centered practice of consciously generating your personal frequency of love. This practice helps us to awaken! It encourages personal empowerment, healing, and greater self-discovery as we learn practical means of replacing fear and other negative frequencies with the most powerful force in the universe: Love. Compassionate Listening, originally conceived by Gene Knudsen Hoffman, is a practice wherein the listener practices non-judgmental listening from the heart. This provides the speaker a safe space in which to express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. All of our teachers are certified to teach the “I Love Me”™ Meditation through The Love Awakening, an extension of The Rodan Foundation. As a service-based organization, The Love Awakening is dedicated to giving through the living of loving acts of service in the San Francisco Bay Area.
