My Mission
My mission for all is also my vision: To share my amazing personal story and the incredible vision and life experiences I have had and continue to discover every day. Having lost my sight and then regaining it provided me a unique gift. I understand the importance of change—even more, of total transformation in my life. The marvelous opportunity was afforded me to relocate to Jerusalem. I recognize how critical it is for me to live here. I feel the joy and the creativity that fill my every moment.
After fifteen years of living in Portugal and then thirteen years creating, developing and sharing “Vision for All” in Brazil, in 2016 I came to Israel. Here I have continued and even expanded my mission. I work on new projects, conduct additional studies, perform advanced research and create new opportunities and capabilities for myself. In this way, I better understand the healing processes, wellness and consciousness.

More about Sylvia Lakeland
Soon after I recovered vision in 2003, I settled in São Paulo, near the Ibirapuera Central Park. During a long walk, totally aware of all the colors and smells, I reviewed my life and tried to understand what had happened to me: from a shy young myopic girl I became a successful high myopic executive. I lost my vision as an adult and after to many difficult experiences I got back my full vision! What a fantastic life cycle! Sitting on a bench and looking at the birds and flowers about me, I wondered: is that all there is and what now?

There are no doubts that the best place for natural vision and body exercises is outdoors, and for the last thirteen years more than 15.000 spontaneous participants were followed, for a two hours practice twice a week: we laugh, jump, play balls and concentrate on our eyes, accepting with a light heart our vision problems. Healing is a full commitment and wonderful Comments prove it.

Part of my voluntary work is training new members and now, while leaving Brazil, an incredible group of volunteers learned , helped me for years, and now will continue my work giving support to all those interested in improving their own vision and helping others. So my work is spreading all over São Paulo as well as in Portugal.
Patch Adams, best known for his work as a medical doctor and a clown and also a social activist confirms: “Wellness encompasses how we feel, the interconnectedness of these factors and the efforts to translate them into action. Wellness is a process, a journey during which we choose which paths to follow: laughter, joy and creativity are an integral part of the healing process. Think of your friends every day, and tell them of your love and appreciation"
