Did you read « The Little Prince » by St Exupéry as a child ? with the stories of the sheep and the hat in the snake’s belly ? Each of us read something else into it, especially according to the times in our life when we read or reread it, our moods, our consciousness.

Similarly, this workshop will allow us to refine, as well as redefine, each for himself, our way of seeing, but also of designing what we see, our purpose in seeing. See ?

We shall work and play together as a group, take our eyes for an afternoon walk, and in the evening, examine our dreams, all the while learning to design, redesign, rethink and dream our eyes.

Whether you are short or far sighted, whether your sight is double or fuzzy, you will learn throughout the week, to trust your eyes without spectacles, you will take pleasure in them, while living in a place of beauty and eating delicious and nutritious organic food grown in the garden.

You will understand that the eyes are really the soul’s mirror, and reflect both body and mind. You will learn to take them in your own hands, literally, relaxed and conscious.

This is what the Bates Method is about : conceived and elaborated by Dr William Bates, a New York ophtalmologist, it is an apprenticeship of practical habits, which you will put to use in your daily life and keep up forever, to benefit not only your eyesight but your whole being.
