LEARNING OBJECTIVES

·Bauman Wellness Integrative Wellness Facilitator Training (IWFT) provides health professionals and community paraprofessionals with a dynamic process and curetted content to facilitate learning by people from diverse backgrounds. This model combines wisdom, science, and collective engagement. Rather than teach people what to think, we create the space for learners to listen and learn, investigate, and respect all valid views. FIT training provides structure and supervision for new professionals and community wellness activists to bring the diverse and inclusive Bauman Wellness approach to people wanting to learn and grow. IWFT graduates can teach BW programs locally and globally. They can also apply and market the Bauman Wellness™ method for workshops and programs they develop. Our process invites learners to investigate truth, share cultural relevancy, traditional ways, and modern research, to awaken curiosity, spark intelligence and inspire elevated discussion and committed practice. Learning in this way is exciting, full of discovery and synthesis.

With facilitating comes a responsibility to prepare, and honor differing points of view, holding a moderate, grounded position. This is a skill that comes from being battle tested, as self-centered people tend to be combative rather than collaborative. Our aim is not to tell people what to think but to show them how and why to think. Bauman Wellness education is free of solicitation, commercial bias, and hidden agenda. Well facilitated group learning is focused on wellness practice, creative expression, and collaborative community building. In our sessions, participants from diverse backgrounds, skill levels and life circumstances, learn with and from each other. In meeting as a group across a series of sessions, with wellness partners to enhance accountability and build meaningful relationships, participants recognize and release misinformation they received through the media, in school or from the internet. Our aim is to use authentic education as a powerful tool for personal and social transformation.
