An Invitation from Dr. Ed Bauman
Kids in the Kitchen - Bauman Summer Wellness Week June, 2021
Greetings Friends and Family,
Bauman Wellness is a community of practice and of service. It is the latest expression of the work I have been doing over the past 50 years to bring holistic health, Eating for Health, integrative health/medicine and now community wellness for all. To accomplish this lofty, but much needed aim, we have launched seasonal 9 Day Wellness Weeks that are free to the public and accessible to people locally and virtually.
I want to personally invite you to join me at our Bauman Fall Wellness Week, from September 18-26, 2021. We will be offering a trail blazing array of 52 workshops, activities, panels, special events and networking session. Check out our calendar and details of the events at baumanwellness.com. Please register for free at Eventbrite to get your Zoom ID and Password.
As you study our 9 Days of Wellness program, you will see quite a few hybrid workshops, designated with white on orange text. These will take place at our historic Bauman Wellness Center at 1007 University Ave in Berkeley, CA, and shared simultaneously via Zoom. We be hosting full day programs at our Center on Sunday, Sept 19, Saturday Sept 23 and Sunday, Sept 26. We will participate in wellness activities together in our courtyard and with safe spacing in our spacious class rooms and kitchen, following strict Covid safety protocols
Given the devastation of today’s 4 horseman of the apocalypse, Covid, climate change and socio-economic injustice, and violence, wellness community is a powerful place for individuals, workplaces, and health professionals to learn to be well and share self-care practices. Wellness offers a way through the darkness, fear and uncertainly into the light of compassion and care for all, not only the comfortable few. Wellness works when we practice it together. Thus our theme for Fall Wellness Week is Weathering the Storms of Change.
I am grateful for your concern, support, and shared values. I am proud that we have and can continue to serve Berkeley in our historic building where Bauman College thrived for over 30 years, and now the Bauman Wellness Center resides. We will be hosting three special events - UN International Day of Peace Pole Unveiling, Honoring the Fall Equinox and Celebrating Berkeley Community. I invite you to attend, in person if you live locally, or via Zoom if you live afar.
Fall is my favorite season. Let’s make it special by participating in 9 Days of Bauman Wellness, together. Wellness is no longer a luxury, a hobby, or an alternative mindset. In today’s world, it is a missing link to healing the wounds of our wounded, and polarized society. We are all pieces of the whole. Together, with respect and focus, we can heal ourselves and bring wellness into medicine, education, and public health. Wellness belongs to all of us who care about life, not just our own, but all life. I invite you to join me in the belief that wellness for all is critical to building climate, Covid and social-economic resilience.
Be well, be at peace, be a role model of wellness in action.
Ed Bauman Ph.d, Founder and Executive Director, Bauman Wellness
