Wisdom 4 the Blind and Spencer M. Clarke Jr., One Wheel Works founder, are working with Sterling Lights Productions to showcase their new movie, "Surpassing Sight." This inspiring story follows a race across America where a group of low-vision and blind individuals come together to complete this legendary achievement. Created by Sterling Lights Productions, who have been working on the Surpassing Sight movie for over three years, this film aims to highlight the misconceptions surrounding employment for blind or low-vision individuals, showing that people who are blind or have low vision can accomplish the same things as sighted individuals and often can do much more than they are given credit for.
In collaboration with Wisdom 4 the Blind, Sterling Lights Productions will host a roundtable event where guests will have the opportunity to ask questions related to the movie. This event will provide a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the blind and visually impaired community and celebrate their remarkable achievements.
The Carnival Celebration, renowned for its grandeur and innovation, provides the perfect backdrop for this gathering of minds and spirits. As you traverse between educational workshops and immersive experiences, the ship itself—boasting amenities from the world's first sea-going roller coaster to a plethora of dining options—ensures your journey is both comfortable and exhilarating.
With a starting fare of just $564.00 per person, based on double occupancy, taxes not included. The Wisdom Forum At Sea offers an unparalleled opportunity to join a collective of like-minded individuals in a week of growth, learning, and unforgettable memories. This is your invitation to not just traverse the ocean, but to navigate the rich depths of human potential and camaraderie.
