Description
Vision is the primary sense through which we experience the world. The quality and clarity of our vision can weaken and degrade without our knowing how or why. In this workshop you will learn how to eliminate common habits that interfere with easy, effortless vision and experience a quiet, more receptive nervous system. We will investigate three interdependent functions that enable the eyes to optimize vision: muscular effort, movement and focus. We will integrate the use of the eyes into our Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration® work and observe that as vision improves, our movement, flexibility, coordination, and balance will improve as well.
Presenter Bio(s)
David Webber (2004) lost his eyesight in 1996, at age 43, due to severe inflammation in the eyes (uveitis), and was declared legally blind. He regained functional vision by working with the practical “less is more” principle of the Feldenkrais Method®. Based on his own experience, he has been teaching Seeing Clearly workshops for six years.
