The Blind Cafe is a fiscally sponsored positive social change organization, that uses the concept of darkness to create an innovative and imaginative event held entirely in the pitch dark. Events are facilitated by professional trained “legally blind staff'' and designed to change the way you 'see' the world. The program is a concert, discussion & dinner in the dark, no blindfolds! It’s a community experience where people connect, learn and break bread together without their visual conditioning, social etiquette and cell phones. The darkness breaks down a lot of social barriers as everyone has a collected experience without being seen.
The educational component of the experience, starts with a Tibetan singing bowl being rung to bring everyone’s attention together. The audience is taught to participate in an ‘active listening experience’ where they learn to listen and engage as a group. This is the blind awareness component of the event, where the legally blind waitstaff (or ambassadors) share their personal stories about their blindness and the audience is engaged in a question and answer forum. This is the heart to heart experience in the dark where people ask questions they would never ask in a lighted setting.
This is a Education, Recruitment & Outreach event to kick-off all the projects we will be taking on during our Centennial year. We ask that Lions who wants to attend invite/bring a guest who could be a potential member. Tickets are for sale online only at www.denverlions.org
For questions and reservations, please contact Jenny Pool Radway at jpoolradway@gmail.com
We hope you'll help us make this event a success!
