Subject: Candle In the Window Conference


We are excited to announce the 2009  Candle in the Window conference.

Candle in the Window, a small national non-profit organization with the aim
of building both individual skills and a sense of community among persons
with visual impairments, welcomes blind people with varied experiences to
join them at their 22nd annual conference entitled "Facing Our Fear and
Effecting Positive 
Change." 

Areas being explored are:
1.	What do we consider to be "normal" or Healthy' fear? What is
"unhealthy" fear?
2.	What fears may be specific to people who are blind? 
What fears are
peculiar to or accentuated by blindness?
3.	How is our fear impacted by family? Culture? Society?
4.	What strategies can we employ to begin to overcome our fears?

In addition to provocative presentations and stimulating discussions, there
will be plenty of time for hiking, eating, singing, quiet reflection, and
just plain "hanging out."

Where: Wooded Glen, Henryville, IN
When: August 5-9, 2009
Cost: $485 for double occupancy, $465 Tripple occupancy, $415 
for quad occupancy. A $15 discount will be given to those who
