Join us for a retreat for Deaf and Hearing siblings from families of Deaf and Hearing parents. This will be a great opportunity to explore and celebrate our unique sibling bonds in our varied families. Deaf and hearing siblings with either Deaf or Hearing parents have a unique experience straddling both the hearing and Deaf worlds. The sibling relationship is a powerful peer influence in childhood as well as adulthood.
Often deaf and hearing siblings attend different schools, have different communities and different cultures under the same roof. This can create richness as well as tension in the sibling relationship. This retreat will explore this sibling experience in order to gain deeper understanding and wisdom to pass onto the Deaf and Hearing communities.
This workshop will be presented by Deaf and Hearing siblings in ASL (interpreters provided) and will include large and small group discussions.
1. To provide an opportunity to share and discuss our sibling experiences in order to honor our family relationships and our lives in both the hearing and Deaf communities.
2. To explore our adult roles as Deaf parents and Hearing parents as well as our roles as grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
3. To consider how to share our experiences with future generations of Deaf and Hearing Siblings growing up with Deaf and Hearing parents.
