About this course<\/h3>\n

Each year a dedicated group of students join Peter Grunwald in\u00a0Eyebody \u2013 The Extraordinary Art of Seeing, Thinking and Moving<\/em>, an intensive personal study and practice held only in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

The core of this work is the art to integrate your brain, eyes, body and soul by applying Peter\u2019s unique discoveries and processes based on the Alexander and Bates Method principles to the process of seeing, thinking and moving. <\/p>\n

Out of this has developed a unique process called the Grunwald EYEBODY Method which applies the Alexander principles of Inhibition and Direction, and principles of the Bates Method such as visualizing to the visual system and involves the use of eyes to enhance efficiency of body movements and increase in brain function.<\/p>\n

During the course you get to know how to undo physical, emotional and mental tensions which underlie \u2018visual dysfunctions and fatigue\u2019 by applying a constructive means-whereby instead of end-gaining clarity with glasses or contact lenses.<\/p>\n

The New Zealand Program will help you to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Get a deeper understanding of the visual process<\/li>\n
  • Learn about your unique visual brain tendency<\/li>\n
  • Apply the practices of presence connected to consciousness<\/li>\n
  • Discover and coordinate brain-eyes-body and soul patterns<\/li>\n
  • Experience and apply envisaging and conscious depth perception<\/li>\n
  • Integrate membranes of fascia in movement effecting brain, eye, body<\/li>\n
  • Increase your kinaesthesia within the visual system<\/li>\n
  • Undo inter-generational emotional attachments effecting the brain, eyes and body integration<\/li>\n
  • Be guided \u2018hands-on\u2019 individually and in small groups<\/li>\n
  • Applications and practices in daily activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Some of the work will lead into new frontier discoveries of the visual system and the brain. For some the course will help to uncover your personal embryology of the visual coordinating mechanism with functions affecting the neo-cortex, the limbic system and that of the reptilian brain.<\/p>\n

    New Zealand offers a tremendous range of activities and sights for participants and their families. Its mild climate in January makes it ideal for our purposes. This year, our location remains within New Zealand\u2019s stunning coastal region in Coromandel. Peter invites all of you who are seriously committed to study deeply the outlined processes based on his published books on the EYEBODY method with him. A sense of humour, exploration and willingness to see, think and move are vital for participation.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Pre-requisites<\/h3>\n

    It is highly recommended that you have experienced at least one 6-day retreat with Peter. In certain circumstances this can be waived with regular reviews of suitability during the course.<\/strong><\/p>\n
