The success of the 19 th International Conference of holistic Vision is also the result of the extended areas of action it created. Participants, keynote speakers and presenters all have the same aim: to learn and share their vision experiences, investigations and know-how in NVI - natural vision improvement. For one whole week, each one of us will become part of an ongoing alchemy: one great cauldron into which we will keep adding our vision, experiences, knowledge and consciousness, which will transform us into better human beings.
Throughout the year, slowly but surely partners understood the importance of this gathering and have been giving a major support, in different ways, all very useful indeed. We have the great pleasure of introducing these partners and friends, individuals, associations and companies who are as well part of the 19 th International Conference of Holistic Vision. The dynamics of this event will allow Madeira Island to become the great centre of meeting and debates, bringing together people from all over the world, different languages, different techniques but just one aim: to discover and fight for Freedom to See!

Roberto Crema , psychologist, anthropologist, teacher and author of more than 20 books in several languages, is leader of the holistic movement in Brazil, as one of the creators and vice-rector of the International Holistic University of Brasilia (UNIPEACE/ UNIPAZ)) and the International UNIPAZ Network. Roberto Crema is also one of the creators of the International School of Therapists, whose members are concerned in the Being in each person and in the therapists themselves. This line of the new Alexandria therapists represents a lineage from those existing 2000 years ago in Ancient Greece. Honorary member of the ALUBRAT- Portuguese Brazilian transpersonal association, director of International Holistic Association HOLOS Brazil and fellowship of the Findhorn Association, in Scotland .
Author of “Saúde e Plenitude - Um Caminho para o Ser”, Roberto Crema says that presently the world lives in a dissociation and fragmentation crisis, “because we don't listen to each other and we have forgotten the vision of caring, solidarity and magic”. He believes that we will only achieve human excellency when we are ready to reach consciousness and work in harmony with both cerebral hemispheres, joining reason and emotion, feelings and spirituality. And his bet is that being human will be the greatest discovery of the third millennium.
