Online Course: The Perceptual Field™

Seeing Clearly Under Pressure

Vision, Pattern Recognition & the Nervous System

A 4-Session Small-Group Immersion with Dr. Sam Berne

Starts Wednesday, March 18
$1,500 | Limited Enrollment

Overview

Most people believe clarity improves under pressure.

It doesn’t.

When the nervous system is stressed, perception narrows, context collapses, and even intelligent, well-intentioned people misread situations—quietly, confidently, and often with serious consequences.

The Perceptual Field™ is a focused, small-group immersion designed to train how you see—not just what you think.

This is not therapy.
This is not coaching.
This is not problem-solving.

This is perceptual literacy.

What This Immersion Is About

Your vision—literal and perceptual—is not separate from your nervous system.

When regulation shifts:

• Vision changes
• Interpretation changes
• Decision-making changes
• Meaning changes

In this cohort, we explore vision as a whole-body, nervous-system-driven process and learn how to recognize patterns before they become problems.

You will learn to:

• Detect perceptual narrowing in yourself and others
• Recognize stress-driven misinterpretation in real time
• Restore contextual seeing under pressure
• Understand vision as an output of regulation, not willpower

Structure & Format

• 4 live sessions
• 90 minutes each
• Every other week
• Small, curated group (8–12 participants)

Session Dates (Wednesdays):

• March 18
• April 1
• April 15
• April 29

Live attendance is strongly encouraged. Replays may be available for a limited time.

What We Will Explore

Each session builds progressively and experientially:

Session 1 — Perceptual Narrowing

How stress alters vision, attention, and meaning-making

Session 2 — Pattern Recognition

Seeing relational, behavioral, and internal patterns without story or projection

Session 3 — Regulation & Context

Restoring peripheral awareness, flexibility, and coherence

Session 4 — Seeing Clearly Under Pressure

Applying perceptual skills to real-world decision-making and leadership moments

Who This Is For

This immersion is designed for:

• Thoughtful adults who value self-responsibility
• Leaders, clinicians, creatives, and professionals
• People interested in perception, nervous system regulation, and vision beyond mechanics

You should already be emotionally regulated and capable of self-reflection.

This is not appropriate if you are seeking:

• Therapy or emotional processing
• Trauma work
• Fix-it solutions
• Ongoing support or dependency

Investment

$1,500 total
Includes all 4 sessions.

This pricing reflects:

• A contained, premium experience
• Small group access
• Decades of clinical and perceptual expertise

Space is intentionally limited.

Relationship to 1:1 Intensives & Retreats

This cohort stands on its own.

Some participants may feel called to:

• Schedule a 3-Hour Perceptual Intensive
• Join the Beyond the Eyes Retreat (September 10–13, 2026 | San Luis Obispo, CA)

There is no pressure or expectation to continue beyond this container.

Important Boundaries (Please Read)

• This is educational and experiential, not medical or therapeutic
• Dr. Berne does not provide individual treatment within the group
• Confidentiality and self-regulation are required

By enrolling, you agree to participate responsibly and independently.

Enrollment

If this resonates, you may apply or enroll directly (your choice depending on how exclusive you want to make it).

Enrollment closes once the group is full.

If you’ve sensed that how you see matters more than what you know—
and that clarity under pressure is a trainable skill—
this immersion was designed for you.
