Dean of BU Dr. Colbey Forman

Our Mission

Our Vision

Our History
Originally founded in 97 in Palestine, Israel and the U.K., Barron University began offering its special doctoral programs in Los Angeles, California in 2002. Since then, satellite universities have sprung up throughout the U.S. as well as in Europe and Australia. Its Dean, Dr. Colbey Forman, in recognizing the unmet need for professional training in the areas of alternative holistic medicine and psychology, developed a program that massively accelerates the learning process and provides the resources and training that have until now been unavailable solely within one program.

Barron University's Philosophy
Excerpt from press conference at UCLA by Dr. Colbey Forman,
Dean of Barron University

"The program at Barron University is the outgrowth and application of new paradigms and technologies. At Barron University, our therapists are surveying new grounds and joining them to ancient ones in an endeavor to enable a global shift in human awareness, health and healing. Our conditioning, habits and patterns that developed as quickly as hunger links to a ringing bell, can be changed as easily and effortlessly as changing a program folder on a computer; but that is seemingly mysterious and impossible if one has not learned how that tool operates. The mind is a tool that can serve and support us when we use choice to guide us rather than being directed by the invisible but omni-present, omni-powerful dictates of random emotional conditioning.

The time has come where we are awakening all over the world to the realization that light and shadow, art and science are merging to an undeniable common source. However those who pioneer these new approaches will stand in the light of these understandings for some time before the majority collectively steps out of the shadow of their reticence.

Einstein created a new paradigm for physics, radically transforming our perspective of the outer universe, while Bohrs followed close behind, further bringing radical transformation to our perception of our inner universe. Well over 70 years after these theories were in their genesis, concepts of general theory of relativity and quantum physics are beginning to trickle into the elite of the "mainstream" processed in easily assimilatable form by teachers such as Gary Zukav and Deepak Chopra; leaders in a spiritual movement that is ever expanding in our current world. These heralds of a "new" train of thought that is really, in fact, over 50 years old, harmonizes with a wisdom that is timeless and ancient.

Like physics, there are revolutionary understandings of richness and depth in the last 25 years that have paled our older approach to health and healing of the mind. We're able to make the quantum leap in our focus from pathology to wholeness, from empathy to empowerment.

The psychological horizon no longer presents a picture of coping with our permanent "wounds" and dutifully and diligently attending to each and every one in an exchange of cathartic relish and empathic enablement. A broader horizon now stretches before us, far more vast, which encompasses the older paradigms as well as creating possibilities never before imagined."
