About the Retreat

This unique experiential retreat with Peter Grunwald – for both beginners and advanced students – explores the integration of vision, eyesight, posture, movement, relaxation, imagination and brain function. The EYEBODY method is a principle-based educational process that can transform your way of seeing and being. Applying the principles can help you let go of the habit of wearing glasses and contact lenses. Participating in the retreat can be beneficial for people of all ages and offers a comprehensive learning experience.

Central to the method is the understanding that eyesight and vision are flexible, and that through the neuroplasticity of the brain itself – the brain, eyesight and body patterns can change. Many known visual symptoms and conditions, such as myopia (short-sightedness), hypermetropia (far-sightedness), presbyopia (middle-age vision), astigmatism, light sensitivity, crossed and lazy eyes, as well as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, detached retinas or vitreous humours and other vision disorders can benefit from the application of the EYEBODY method.

You will enjoy a daily schedule of teaching, meditation and practice sessions, with time for meals and short breaks and an extended break after lunch for rest and integration.

During this EYEBODY retreat you will

• learn to read and see without strain or fatigue
• understand the visual process and your unique visual function
• learn to apply the EYEBODY principles to the process of seeing
• understand how your visual habits may contribute to your loss of clear sight and learn effective techniques to release those patterns
• take your first steps without glasses or contacts, if you are new to EYEBODY
• experience how EYEBODY may improve your posture, and also benefit your hearing
• learn how to integrate the EYEBODY method into activities of your daily life, such as walking, driving and computer work
• participate in intentional fascia movement classes with an Eyebody focus, experiencing how fascia plays an important role in eyesight and vision
• apply the practices of presence connected to consciousness
• undo inter-generational emotional attachments affecting the brain, eyes and body
• experience and apply envisaging and conscious depth perception
• discover and coordinate brain-eyes-body and soul patterns
• build bridges between vision and spirituality

This retreat will also support advanced students of the Eyebody method in renewing and deepening their practices. Students will be met by Peter at their current level of knowledge and experience and individually guided throughout the week in their next steps to deepen their personal experience and application of the method.

Group and individual attention is given to support you in creatively learning the EYEBODY principles and assimilating them gradually. Sharing in the experiences of others can help you learn about yourself. Participants benefit most if they are ready to explore and question habits, let go of resistances and welcome change.
