    Oct 31

    What does it really mean to be a person who is blind or who has low vision? Mike Cole, a veteran of all things blindness, will lead this call-in forum to discuss the many day-to-day ins and outs of blindness, from daily living in your home environment to navigating the vast expanse of bureaucracies. There's always a lively crowd sharing their own experiences, so make a cup of coffee (or tea), sit in your favorite chair, and call in to chat about the business of blindness.

    G-VIBES are Gratitude Visually Impaired Blind Energizing Sessions. In these solutions-based peer-support groups, participants share their grounding and energizing tools that lead to gratitude. Previous presentations included poetry, music, drumming, visualization, Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, self-care, and forgiveness.

    Get your creative juices flowing every week in the LightHouse Craft Room. We’ll explore a variety of different arts media and prompts that will change each month. Let loose your curiosity and sense of play in a supportive space where you are welcome to experiment with the current LightHouse projects, or bring your own craft to work on alongside friends. No experience is necessary. Wear or bring something you don't mind getting dirty.

    This November, we will sculpt with air dry clay, creating works that celebrate both form and function, possibly suitable for holiday decorating and gift giving.
