Guiding Principles

Director: Dr. Silvia Casabianca

At Eyes Wide Open, we belief that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose through community, relationship with nature, and spiritual values such as compassion and solidarity.

Our approach is systemic — we see the whole person, not isolated symptoms. We focus on strengths, not weaknesses. On solutions, not labels. We trust that the body carries an intrinsic intelligence — what we call the Inner Healer — which, when supported, knows how to take us back to optimal health.

We see the human being as multidimensional: physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual. True compassionate support for healing needs to address all of these dimensions.

We welcome those who want to take conscious responsibility for their own health and growth — people with a reverence for life and a love for learning.

Thich Nhat Hanh said:

“Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be welcomed, recognized, and treated on an absolutely equal basis; because both are ourselves. The tangerine I am eating is me. The mustard greens I am planting are me. I plant with all my heart and mind. I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath. Nothing should be treated more carefully than anything else. In mindfulness, compassion, irritation, mustard green plant, and teapot are all sacred.”
