FREE Prosumer Facilitator Group Training
February 27 –March 2, 2011
Due to the many requests we receive for help in starting up Prosumer groups in towns and cities throughout Texas and nation wide, we are planning a free, week long training this spring.
The training will cover starting, facilitating, and sustaining Prosumer groups and meetings.
Some of the key topics we will cover are:
Our philosophy
Learning the PAPERWORK
How to facilitate
Effective outreach
Funding options and possibilities
While the training itself is free, participants will be responsible for their own transportation, lodging, and meals. Those of you who are sincerely interested in attending, but may have trouble financing the trip, can call Janet Paleo at 1-877-324-2717 for advice on obtaining funding from other sources.
Location is 1921 Burnet, San Antonio, TX 78202

What Happens in Prosumer Meetings?
Our meetings start with a meal and then we move into our empowerment meeting. Our meetings are designed
to inform you, educate you, inspire you and help you to be the best you, you can be. There are a variety of
topics that are facilitated by Prosumer Leaders. Check the current newsletter for the current topic.
Everyone is welcome. There is no charge.
This group will help you feel better, do better and will help anyone be more successful in life.
We utilize Corporate Training Techinques in many of the meetings. In our research project with the School of Nursing, it was found that we utilize a Salutogentic approach to wellness.
Our focus is on wellness and staying well. The number one reason people stop coming to the group is because they have gone back to work or to school.
That is an awesome statement. If you have lost your dreams, if you have lost your meaning of life, come join us for a meeting. You will find
friends, knowledge and yourself.
