San Juan Island, Washington (MMD Newswire) December 22, 2010 -- In cooperation with Akamai University, Project NatureConnect at the Institute of Global Education today announced it is accepting new applications for hands-on career training in its education, counseling and healing with nature courses and degree programs. The online studies break walls by identifying and correcting the often ignored prime discord that erodes personal, social and environmental well being and underlies our dysfunctions.
The program director, Michael J. Cohen, Ph.D. author of "The Web of Life Imperative," says "Out of shame for our destructiveness, we deny that we are socialized to excessively exploit nature and each other. Our denial hides the true source of most disorders. "On the other hand," says Cohen, "A newly developed sensory science, Natural Attraction Ecology, enables our thoughts and relationships to plug into authentic nature's self-correcting powers, around and within us. Nature's transformative ways then help us recognize our denial, correct our disorders and increase well-being." NAE makes it possible for us to let nature peacefully compost and recycle contaminates in our psych that arise from the nature-separated way we learn to think and feel.
Project NatureConnect supports career applicants who are passionate about the ground-breaking process and results of the research and reasoning that makes NAE available as a remedy for what ails us. On a new career web page and on the NAE website, its use of applied ecopsychology brings to light that the unifying and balancing forces of natural attraction pervade the universe and humanity. It is the unique, readily accessible essence that we and nature hold in common and that can integrate us to the benefit of all.
Cohen notes that we suffer because we have few arts or sciences that help our thinking access this vital ancient core of being in balance. Project NatureConnect courses and instructors enable us to benefit from registering natural attraction in our consciousness.
The pioneering mission of Project NatureConnect is to help our thoughts and feelings tap into nature's renewing natural attraction "love" that flows in, around and through us. The online program's subsidized, UNESCO approved, training courses and degrees enable us to activate 53 natural senses that we inherit and that help us make conscious contact with the life-nurturing attraction energy of the eons found in natural areas, backyard or backcountry. Its mind-recycling NAE process gives us the ability to strengthen this purifying and healing power in ourselves and others through applied ecopsychology connections in natural areas. Some participants have called it the "Unified Field Theory in action."
