Guided imagery allows the participant to create a multi-sensory environment for the learning process. Research has shown that concept learning, memorization, and rehearsal of motor skills is enhanced by the creation and manipulation of images in the mind. The location of a workshop has a powerful impact on the ease of learning. The New Visions house creates a living environment that supports relaxed thinking and integration of the workshop material. The main living area is lined with large windows facing a panoramic view.
Food is plentiful and delicious.
Meals are enjoyed in a dining room overlooking the mountains. A wrap-around deck offers opportunities for sunbathing, view watching, and socializing. Country roads provide wonderful walking and hiking and a beautiful nearby lake is great for swimming, boating and fishing. While home-like, the facility is also uniquely equipped to support the type of learning process specific to the content of the workshop. The rural setting provides ample opportunity for quiet integration of material presented during the workshop.
