VISION FOR LIFE
VISION FOR LIFE
MEIR SCHNEIDER, PhD
Founder and Director, School of Self Healing
United States
Born blind to deaf parents, Meir Schneider underwent a series of painful operations as a young child and was left with 99% scar tissue on the lenses of his eyes, resulting in his being declared incurably blind. At the age of seventeen, he discovered how to improve his vision naturally from 1% to 70% of normal vision.
Today Meir Schneider, Ph.D. drives a car, reads, and enjoys the benefits of full natural vision. His contributions to the field of self-healing are recognized by alternative health practitioners and medical doctors around the world.
His best-selling book Vision for Life (Ve Bien Y Vive Mejor) presents an approach
to vision improvement for most people. Meir helps the full spectrum of vision
from people who see 20/20 to people who are legally blind.
Meir Schneider recognized early that all parts of the body need exercise for optimal health, and the eyes are no different. Today, he and his clients prove time and time again how much vision can improve with exercise.
Clients of the Meir Schneider Self-Healing Method experience their own capacity
to bring about recovery, reversing the progress of a wide range of degenerative
condition. Based in part on the established Bates Method of eyesight
improvement and in part on his own professional and personal discoveries, Meir
Schneider's pioneering approach has helped thousands of people successfully treat a host of eye problems, including near- and farsightedness, astigmatism, lazy eye, double vision, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, and nystagmus as well as arthritis, spine
problems, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and many others.

SEEING IN STEREO
Play Your Way to Better Vision
FERNANDA LEITE
Behavioral Optometrist, Self-Healing Instructor and Vision Educator
Brazil
Vision is the connection between sight and body action. There is a quality in the visual system that allows us to see and interact in the world from the full sensation of space, depth and volume. This quality depends on our binocular vision and is called stereopsis - "seeing solid" in Latin. It builds intelligent and skillful bodies, as well as influences the quality of most visual skills.
In this fun, interactive workshop, Fernanda Leite, a trained Optometrist and Self-Healing Instructor specializing in vision education, offers some simple assessment elements, as well as fun exercises for maintaining and improving binocular quality for good stereopsis.

HEAL YOUR VISION, HEAL YOUR LIFE
Eyesight and Whole Body Healing
CARME LLIMARGAS
Holistic Trainer and Founder & Director, Nova Visio
Spain
Vision dysfunctions reflect tensions, unresolved issues, and life situations that the person experiencing them, in some way, "doesn't want to see." Recovering vision means returning to a natural state of health and emotional stability. Led by holistic trainer Carme Llimargas, this workshop looks at the individual as a whole, a comprehensive holistic approach that impacts the primary areas of human activity: physical, mental, emotional, systemic and spiritual. In this intensive theoretical/practical session, we will explore the different dimensions of vision and learn guidelines for reversing some symptoms and maintaining good vision.

Mirror neurons let us experience someone else’s experience — like a dance. Join sociologist Maurizio Cagnoli, a vision teacher for more than 3 decades. for this fascinating workshop.

NATURAL VISION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD
Through Creative Play
SANDRA PAZOS
Holistic Vision Educator, Professor of Special Education & Early Visual Stimulation
Argentina
Sandra Pazos' will share her EHNSALVI Method (Holistic and Natural Stimulation for Visual Health in Children).

In this way, they will be able to reconnect with their inner child and, at the same time, assume the role of adult guides in visual stimulation and education in childhood.
This workshop will be active and interactive, requiring participants' willingness to work with their own bodies and experience the activities, games and exercises for visual education in childhood.

ROLL & RELAX
Myofascial Tension Release for Clearer Vision
CLAUDIA MUEHLENWEG
Holistic Vision Trainer and Founder, Naturally Clear Vision Institute
United States
Claudia Muehlenweg's "Roll & Relax" technique is an easy way to drop quickly into the relaxed parasympathetic state and connect with body and breath. In this workshop session, we will connect the dots on the fascial, muscular and nerve connections from the brain (and eyes) to the rest of the body, above and below the neck, and why tension in the myofascial tissues directly contributes to vision problems. You will learn now to combine simple self massage techniques using myofascial therapy balls with breath strategies to release that tension without the need for expensive bodywork. This is a powerful tool to support your students success along with their NVI practices. And it's a easy way to deal with daily stress.

Dr. Ray Gottlieb PhD. OD.
Dean of the College of Syntonics Optometry
Optometrist and Vision Teacher
United States
After receiving his optometry degree and license Dr. Gottlieb taught conventional optometry at the University of Houston. Settling in Berkeley, California, he explored yoga and Tai Chi and “accidentally” discovered Dr. William H. Bates' book on Perfect Sight. This marked the beginning of his exploration into natural methods for enhancing eyesight, eye health and visual function. Over the next five decades, he engaged in extensive research and wrote articles, including “A Neuropsychology of Myopia,” his Ph.D. dissertation in support of Bates' ideas, and the book: Attention and Memory: Stress-Point Learning on the Trampoline. He presented his approach at many holistic health conventions and vision improvement workshops. He has invented and contributed greatly to the development of a wide range of vision improvement practices, including Presbyopia Reduction, Natural Vision Improvement (Bates Method), Stress-Point Trampoline Therapy, Syntonic Optometry and Syntonic Phototherapy.

HEALING THROUGH THE EYES
The eyes are the windows to the soul
AINHOA DE FEDERICO, PhD. HC.
Director, International Center for Vision Coaching
Mexico
What does it truly mean to see and to be seen?
In this transformative experiential session, you will be guided into an embodied exploration where your eyes become a gateway to deeper levels of your being.
Through gentle, guided eye-gazing practices and co-presence, you will:
- Access the hidden layers of our inner world that often remain unseen, even to ourselves.
- Release stuck emotions and unprocessed feelings from past experiences, gently allowing what has been held in the body and nervous system to dissolve.
- Reconnect with your innate clarity and intuitive wisdom, tapping into the deeper potential that lies beneath habitual patterns and emotional blocks.
- Feel deeply seen by another human being in a safe and held space, experiencing the healing power of authentic, present connection.
Join this living practice where your eyes become mirrors, and your vision becomes a pathway to healing, connection, and soul-level insight.
Come prepared to experience the profound truth of “the eyes are the windows to the soul” — and to leave with a new sense of clarity, softness, and a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
