“I feel more positive about my vision. Carina was very responsive to individual situations. Always doing more to find an answer. Very honest & straightfoward. Able to relate to us, non-confrontational and accepting. Definitely worth coming to. There are opportunities for everyone. Take some time out in beautiful surroundings with beautiful people.” Margaret, Australia (2007 Vision Retreat)
“The presentation was outstanding. My vision changed 2 lines for the better. I would say anyone with eyesight problems would benefit from this course.” Joseph, Australia (2007 Vision Retreat) |
Your eyesight is important.
80% of sensory information entering your brain comes in through your eyes. The way you see affects all areas of your life - work, play and relationships.
The Janet Goodrich Method addresses
3 main topics in relation to your eyesight:
The original cause. Symptom management can allow you to function but to create permanent improvement the causes of the visual blur must be addressed. For refractive error the cause is usually related to stress, physical or mental, and often unresolved emotions as well.
The physical state of your eyes now. You can regain flexibility and movement in your eyes and entire visual system by learning proven activities that are easy, enjoyable and often give results you can notice immediately!
Daily habits for good vision. Imagine having the knowledge to work with your visual system rather than against it. Reduce the strain you place on your eyes on a daily basis by improving your awareness of what affects your visual system, and learn how you can maximize all its functions.
“It’s experiencing the results that is most exciting, to see measurable and sometimes dramatic improvement in my vision. This is the best course of its type I have yet experienced. I am fired with enthusiasm to continue this work and would recommend this course to everybody, no matter how their vision is.” Martin, UK
"I really enjoyed Carina's helpful guidance at all times. She was patient & explained in detail when needed. Not only with our eyes, but general wellbeing. I can now see without my glasses at times and I feel improvement daily. In three short classes it is unbelievable." J. Melton, |
Course Overview
Your experience begins on Sunday evening when you arrive at the Worldview Centre, on the beautiful and peaceful 
Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Having traveled by plane, train or car, you have settled into your cozy accommodation with the assistance of your hostess Deborah. You are now ready to meet your group of like-minded fellow students and your instructor Carina Goodrich. After enjoying a delicious dinner, you are ready for the exciting week ahead.
As each day progresses you come to understand the fascinating complexity of your wonderful visual system. Meanwhile you are enjoying the food, atmosphere, environment and time to nurture yourself away from the demands of your daily life.
"At the end of 5 days you feel confident with your home vision programme, supported and motivated in your goal of achieving clear eyesight. You may already be experiencing changes in your vision."
Will you decide to stay for the Rest & Recreation Weekend, taking time to integrate your new knowledge and habits in this soothing environment? You can rest as much as you need and enjoy the dining and/or activities including; walks around the property, massage and other healing therapies on site or nearby, day trips to Australia Zoo or Sunshine Coast beaches.
For those attending Part 2, your package includes the R & R weekend and your vision journey continues Monday morning. While the work is intense, you enjoy the laughter, tears and a greater self understanding. You are excited to learn techniques for emotional hygiene from simple and easy to deep and transformative. You depart Saturday morning with a fresh outlook and tools for a more enjoyable life.
"Combine a holiday in a beautiful place with a certainty of improving your vision and experiencing the sheer childish joy of being able to see again. I experienced clearer flashes, a feeling of internal clarity as the diet gained effect, 3-D vision by the end of the week.
I am more relaxed within myself especially after my emotional release. I feel much more positive about myself and about my future."

| “Carina’s presentation was excellent, inspiring and always interesting. Complete mastery of her subject & presentation. A first class programme, splendid value for money and always rewarding. I experienced increased clearness at distance in both eyes. Benefits included interaction with the other students who were a great bunch of people & everyone helped everyone else. Fun times helped our eyes too! ” Iris, Australia (2007 Vision Retreat) |
Course Benefits - Part 2 (Optional)
Are you ready to free yourself from the
emotional blocks
that affect
your eyesight, happiness and relationships with yourself and others?
Emotions are Important
Contrary to a familiar concept, the eyes are not like a camera, a machine operating independently of the rest of your body, mind and heart. Your eyes are a living organic part of you, as a whole person, and your entire visual system is strongly affected by your mental and emotional state, your levels of stress and tension. In the 5 days of Part 2; Emotional Healing Intensive, Carina will utilize her many years of experience in eyesight training and emotional healing techniques to:
- Guide you to discover and resolve the original cause of your visual blur.
- Teach you how to approach, acknowledge and resolve the emotional blocks that affect your thoughts, feelings and behaviour on a daily basis.
- Show you simple and effective methods to deal with stress and tension in your daily life.
Emotions are a vital part of our life experience. Yet when they are misunderstood, unacknowledged and suppressed, they become toxic to our mental and physical wellbeing. When in balance, your emotions can provide you with valuable tools to enriching your life and enjoying your relationships. Begin to take the power over your inner world into your hands with Part 2.
This part of the course is for those who have been in glasses since early life or who feel they would like to change restrictive emotional habits.
"I was really amazed by the power of this emotional release method. It's the best I have ever experienced. I never would have thought that it would have that much impact. I was skeptical about it but got blown away by how powerful it is. I now understand better how important it is to release the emotional blocks to get better vision (and better life!)
Carina is a great teacher, has a lot of knowledge which makes her great to listen to. For the emotional part, she is incredibly intuitive, I am amazed how accurate she is at identifying our blockages."

Worldview Guest
"A thoroughly enjoyable week with a great bunch of people. A fantastic setting amongst beautiful scenery living on nutritious food. I take away a feeling of motivation towards improving my eyes, a commitment to follow through, and a realization that something can be done.
I take a new awareness of the amazing role of emotional healing and a state of mind far more relaxed than when I arrived. Perhaps most of all, I have come to question the impact of my old lifestyle upon my vision and health generally. I leave here sad at the thought of parting from staff and friends, but happy for a new beginning for me."

“I experienced improved up close vision, greater awareness that I can bring my vision back to better than 20/20. The instructor was very good, professional yet nurturing. If you want to improve your vision naturally there’s no better place to go.”
Daniel, Australia (2007 Vision retreat)
“I had several flashes of clear vision during the week. I also have a sense that I am seeing more clearly. The instruction was excellent in all respects and it all seemed even more thorough and skilled than last time! Great care was taken to ensure that everyone was doing things correctly, as bad habits can be acquired from books.“

I can now happily go out, leaving my glasses at home and not go into a state of blind panic. Thank you very much for that gift. Your course set me firmly on the path towards better and better health, and I have the facts to prove it, i.e. my latest cholesterol reading at 3.87 (down from 6.7)" N. Williams, Australia

Heather, Australia
"(At the) end of the Natural Vision course I can see better than I could at the start. I will get very quickly to the stage of not wearing glasses at all, whilst I continue the exercises.
It's good to take part in a course where all the others have similar problems to yourself. I feel that I will be back to normal vision in a couple of years, pretty good going really when I think about the 36 years I've been stuck with glasses." M. Daly, Australia
"I am glad I attended the Natural Vision Course. There has been a tremendous group energy which has been inspirational. The vision games became easier and easier as I felt the support and friendship of those around me. The vision games have helped to relax my body and mind and have provided me with the information and skills to improve my eyesight. I know that I will be able to see clearly without my glasses"
L. Humphries, Australia
"I found the teaching very professionally done and extremely interesting. The whole atmosphere was conducive to learning and opening up to that calm place within." Christine, Australia
"The course blew me out of the water. I'd worn reading glasses for 15 years and threw them away after a two day course. I then read books and newspapers. After (a Vision Retreat) I read the phone book and now I know I'll be precision drafting 'til I die and doing it without glasses.
Other unsought joys are sparkling young eyes instead of `tired ole' eyes, more energy and vigour, a successful pattern to handle debilitating anger and stress, better body hygiene and a new tranquility and confidence." T. Ambler, Australia |
