Are you looking for an immersive experience to heal your vision naturally?
Look no further!
From June 30th to July 3rd, 2019, Nathan Oxenfeld and Beata Barinbaum led an Eyesight & Bodywork Retreat on the beautiful Bowen Island near Vancouver, BC.
Participants got to spend 4 days and 3 nights without glasses, while learning powerful vision enhancing techniques from the Bates Method, Yoga, Somatic Movement, Bodywork, and more.
By the end of the retreat people not only notice a tangible improvement in your vision, but also know the tools to continue improving upon returning home.
This retreat provides the safe space to remove your glasses and practice natural vision improvement without needing to work, drive, or do other activities you would normally need lenses for. Can you remember the last time you spent 3 or 4 days with the naked eye? As you might imagine, some profound transformations can begin to take place when you do.
Each day we teach powerful practices sourced from the Bates Method to relax your mind and your eyes. To help connect the eyes to the rest of the body, you can also learn some self-massage and group massage techniques, as well as receive a personalized massage session from Beata. In addition to the main Eyesight & Bodywork topics, Nathan and Beata teach Yoga, Breathwork, Meditation, and Somatic Movement.
The setting for this retreat is an idyllic location for healing. Rivendell Retreat Center is perched atop Cates Hill on Bowen Island, which overlooks surrounding trees, water, and mountains. This is the perfect place to work on vision, providing sweeping vistas for distance gazing, several trails for communion with nature, and a sacred energy cultivated by the community.
