Awakening our Visual Capacity through Stories – Class series through 2026

With Nalini Ramji

More Info Sign Up

In this class series, participants listen to a story while palming, then explore its symbolism and relevance to vision. The work draws on imagination, right-brain awareness, and depth psychology as part of a natural vision improvement approach.

Stories are used here as a way of awakening visual capacity through image, feeling, symbolism, and perspective. The classes invite a slower and more reflective approach to vision, including the relation between seeing, being seen, and inner knowing.

Everyone is welcome. No prior knowledge of the Bates Method is required.

Class Structure:

Story listened to while palming
Discussion of symbolism in relation to vision
Live attendance only - no recording available

2026 Dates:

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 - The Story of the Frog Princess
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 - The Story of the Handless Maiden
Wednesday, July 1, 2026 - The Ugly Duckling

Conversation with the Eyes – Prague

with Anat Axelrode

More Info Register

What if you could speak directly with your eyes? This two-day experiential training explores the inner and emotional aspects of eyesight and direct dialogue with the eyes.

For two full days in Prague, participants explore the emotional and inner layers of eyesight through Eye Soul – a method developed by Anat Axelrode that combines natural vision improvement, emotional work, Nonviolent Communication, and structured inner dialogue with the eyes.

What you will learn

how to approach the eyes as relational partners rather than mechanical organs
how inner narratives and emotional patterns shape the way we see
how to observe guided conversations with the eyes and practise repeatable exercises
how eyesight connects with attention, safety, belonging, and identity

For practitioners and individuals

The training is designed for vision educators, therapists, and individuals who sense that eyesight is not only optical, but also expressive and relational. It combines theory, live demonstrations, and guided hands-on practice.

Date: 17 – 18 Oct 2026 (Saturday and Sunday)

Heal Your Child’s Eyes

Playful Daily Habits for Natural Vision Improvement

by Hana Maslowska

Amazon – USA Amazon – CA Amazon – UK

Heal Your Child’s Eyes How to support your child’s eyes BEFORE they need glasses, the natural way.

Today’s world is full of screens, constant close-up focus, and growing visual strain, placing children’s eyesight under more pressure than ever before. But unlike outdated approaches that focus only on correction, Heal Your Child’s Eyes offers parents and teachers a practical, natural way to support healthy visual development through movement, play, relaxation, and everyday activities designed for modern life.

Rather than waiting for eyesight problems to worsen over time, Hana Maslowska presents a proactive approach: teaching children how to keep balance of the visual system and develop healthy visual habits.

Drawing on years of experience in Natural Vision Improvement and practical work with children, families, and educators, Maslowska combines methods inspired by the Bates Method and the Self-Healing teachings of Meir Schneider with an accessible, caring, and playful approach to visual development.

Inside, you’ll discover:

Simple and engaging ideas to relax the eyes, face and body and reduce visual fatigue
Ways to improve focus flexibility and eye coordination
Support for peripheral awareness, adaptation to light conditions, and colour perception
Practical strategies for supporting visual health in a screen-based world – balancing screen time and schoolwork with movement, outdoor activities, and visual exploration
Ideas and simple tools for home testing of visual abilities
Recommendations for common vision problems in children: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, amblyopia, strabismus and convergence insufficiency
A variety of playful vision activities adapted to different ages, personalities, and interests
Daily habits and family lifestyle ideas that support visual comfort

Easy to understand, practical, and grounded, this book helps parents and educators support children’s visual development – while reflecting on their own visual habits as well.
