Welcome to the 29th International Conference on Holistic Vision!
We are thrilled to have you here.
Our field is evolving rapidly, shaped by two powerful trends. On one hand, modern lifestyles have become increasingly unfriendly to our eyes, creating a growing need for trusted information and skilled natural vision professionals. On the other, more and more people are reclaiming responsibility for their own health and well-being—and with that, a deep interest in natural approaches to vision care.
This growing public demand calls for greater professionalization and visibility, so we can better serve those who need us most.
In recent years, our community has come together in vibrant shared spaces—from online groups like the Holistic Vision Group to in-person events and collaborative projects. One highlight is our collective anthology, which showcases the richness and diversity of our field. It became an instant international bestseller, with more than 6,900 copies sold in English alone!
That’s why we expect Valencia to host our largest and most impactful conference to date—bringing together veteran vision educators, new professionals, devoted enthusiasts, and curious newcomers alike.
Our theme for this year is:
Seeing, Being Seen
As individuals, regaining our sight often means reclaiming our place in the world—feeling safe to be who we are, and to be truly seen. No longer hiding from ourselves or from others.
And metaphorically, this is true for our field as well. Natural Vision Improvement has spent decades in the shadows, but the time has come for us to step forward with confidence. To make ourselves visible. To meet the moment—and the world’s growing need—with joy, unity, and clarity.
From Margaret Corbett’s brave, solitary trial nearly a century ago, to the recent victory of our Turkish colleague Gülay Çil, surrounded by a supportive international community, to the launch of the first University Diploma for Natural Vision Professionals, officially recognized by the Mexican government—we can now see, unmistakably, that times have changed.
So here we are: joyful, present, visible, imperfect, and open.
We invite you to join us in this unforgettable gathering
to share, to grow, to give and receive so much.
