Workshop Feedback
Feedback from participants with vision-loss to-date has been that they felt more confident in themselves after the workshops and that their spatial awareness, listening through their senses (especially through their feet) drastically improved and supported their day to day experiences.
Here is a video of personal feedback from a 2017 participant, Barry O’Donnell, who lost his vision in an accident and following this is a trailer of a 2017 workshop programme:
