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

Clear the Fog: A 4-Week Reset for Brain Fog, Focus, Energy & Vision
2026-06-10 17:30 - 2026-07-01 18:30 | The Geodome, Tesuque, 87574, United States
Brain fog is often not a brain problem. It may be a nervous system overload problem.
My Story:
I spent years doing what many people do in modern life—working harder, pushing longer, producing more, carrying more responsibility, and overriding the signals of the body.
At one point, I was running a full clinical practice while creating content across multiple social media platforms every day. Long hours. Constant output. Endless stimulation. From the outside, it looked productive. Inside, the cost was accumulating.
What I came to understand—through my own experience and decades of working with others—is that many symptoms people call “brain fog,” fatigue, poor focus, eye strain, and loss of motivation are not simply mental problems.
Often, they are signs of overload.
An overloaded nervous system.
Too much screen time.
Too much stress.
Too much pressure.
Too little recovery.
Too much living from urgency.
When the system becomes overwhelmed, clarity drops. Energy drops. Vision narrows. The body begins to compensate.
I did not solve this by “trying harder.”
I solved it by changing the model.
I reduced unnecessary stress. I restructured my work. I returned to movement, nature, better rhythms, breath, perception, and nervous system regulation. I learned again that the brain, eyes, body, and environment are deeply connected.
The result was not just feeling better.
It was clearer thinking. Better energy. Greater steadiness. More presence. Better vision. Better decisions.
This is the foundation of the work I now teach.
My programs are not about quick hacks or masking symptoms. They are about helping people understand why they feel foggy, tired, dysregulated, visually strained, or mentally scattered—and giving them practical ways to restore clarity.
If you are dealing with brain fog, fatigue, stress, eye strain, or a sense that something is “off,” there may be nothing wrong with you.
Your system may simply be asking for a reset.
That is the journey I now help others take.
Feeling overloaded, exhausted, or stressed? This course was created for you.
You’ll learn practical methods to enhance focus, visual comfort, clarity, and energy.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to regulate your nervous system and improve body-brain coordination for greater day-to-day wellbeing.

Thursday, June 18th One time class.
5:00 PM – 6:30 PM Mountain Time
Cost $147
With decades of study and experience in vision improvement, I have learned that vision extends beyond eyesight. It involves our orientation, nervous system processing, and perception of the world.
This 90-minute workshop will be experiential, practical, and interactive. Together we will explore:
• The relationship between vision, perception, and nervous system regulation
• How stress influences the way we see and experience our environment
• The importance of orientation and awareness in visual function
• Simple practices to support greater ease, presence, and perceptual clarity
• A new framework for understanding vision beyond symptoms and diagnoses
On the day of the workshop, please wear comfortable clothing, prepare a quiet space for movement, and have water nearby. Be ready to participate in movement and awareness exercises.
The workshop will be recorded and uploaded to my private, unlisted YouTube channel. All participants will receive access to the recording, which will remain available for two months following the event.

Vision Beyond Eyesight-A Two Day Immersion with Dr. Sam Berne
2026-09-12 10:00 - 2026-09-13 16:00 | The Geodome, Tesuque, 87574, United States
Vision Beyond Eyesight
A Two-Day Immersion with Dr. Sam Berne
September 12–13, 2026
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Daily
Tesuque, New Mexico
Investment: $2,200 per person
Join us for this intimate two-day immersion.
Most of us think of vision as simply how clearly we see.
But vision is much more than eyesight.
The way you see shapes your focus. Your focus shapes your perception. And your perception influences how you experience your life.
In this intimate two-day immersion, Dr. Sam Berne will guide participants through a unique exploration of the relationship between vision, attention, orientation, perception, and direct experience.
Drawing upon more than forty years of clinical experience in behavioral and functional vision care, along with decades of study in movement, awareness, nervous system regulation, and perceptual learning, Dr. Berne offers a fresh perspective on what it means to truly see.
Day One: Vision and Attention
We begin with the familiar concerns that bring many people to explore their vision:
• Vision loss
• Aging eyes and conditions
• Focus and concentration
• Brain fog and mental clarity
• The effects of stress on visual function
• The connection between breathing, posture, movement, and eyesight
Participants will learn practical tools to improve visual awareness while discovering how vision connects to the body and nervous system.
Day Two: Orientation and Direct Experience
As the retreat unfolds, we move beyond eyesight into deeper questions:
• How does my vision help me locate myself in space?
• How do I relate my eyes to my environment?
• How do attention and perception shape my reality?
• What happens when I become fully present to what I am seeing, sensing, and experiencing?
Through guided experiential, eye-body-centered practices, nature-based exploration, movement, sound, and reflective inquiry, participants will discover a new relationship with their eyesight, vision, perception, and health.
What You Will Experience
• Functional vision and perception exercises
• Orientation and awareness practices to help you anchor your vision
• Nervous system regulation tools, using the eyes as portals
• Vision, Movement and sensory exploration
• Eyes-Nature-based perceptual experiences
• Group discussion and inquiry
• A deeper understanding of the connection between seeing and being
Who Is This Retreat For?
This retreat is for people who are curious about the relationship between vision, health, awareness, and human experience.
Whether you are interested in improving your eyesight, reducing overwhelm, increasing focus, or exploring a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you, this immersion offers practical tools and meaningful insights.
Reserve your place to experience it for yourself.
Vision Beyond Eyesight
This retreat is not about fixing your eyes.
It is about discovering how your perspective shapes your life.
And how greater awareness can open the door to a richer, more direct experience of life.
Take the next step toward seeing more clearly.
“The way you see shapes the way you live.”–Dr. Sam Berne
