A Free Nature Connected Psychology
Course Online Enables Us to Respond to Key Life Relationship
Questions.
Client: "My problem is that I always talk
to myself."
Counselor: "Not to worry; most people talk to themselves."
Client: "But Doctor, you don't know what a ding dong
I am."
"The state of the world
shows that most of us are ding dongs with respect to building
peaceful, environmentally and socially responsible relationships.
Where in our irresponsible society can a person find a responsible
source of information?" That is the thrust of a free, online,
nature-connected psychology course designed by Dr. Michael J.
Cohen, Director of Integrated Ecology at the Institute of Global
Education, a special NGO consultant to the United Nations Economic
and Social Council. There, Cohen, an Ecopsychologist, serves
as faculty to two online Universities
The course at http://www.ecopsych.com/eco400green.html
provides links to free knowledge and processes on the web that
make responsible life relationship information readily available.
Course participants trust the
information the course offers because, unlike hearsay or book
learning, they experience it first hand to register its truth.
They accomplish this by making genuine sensory contacts with
intact ecosystems, backyard or backcountry. Improved wellness,
personal and environmental relationships result from this connection.
The free course addresses the
significant questions we face that underlie our unsolveable problems.
"Our biggest problem is that we blind ourselves to
our inherent problem solving ability." says Cohen, author
of ten books on the subject. "Our troubles persist because
we learn to ignore a vital source of ecological information and
restorative power in Nature that enables us to resolve these
questions."
The questions:
ENVIRONMENT: Since we are part
of Nature, what is the major difference that makes us destroy
the environment while everything else in Nature enhances it?
SUSTAINABILITY: Can you cite
a model, community or process that successfully produces sustainability?
ACCURATE INFORMATION: What
is the greatest truth that you can trust (hint: it is neither
God, love, nor honesty.)
PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS: What
produces the wanting void in our psyche, the discomfort, greed,
and loneliness that fuels most human and thereby environmental
disorders?
SPIRITUALITY: What is the sensory
relationship between Nature, the Divine, and the Human Spirit?
EDUCATION: If we learn how
to be who we are, what factor in modern education teaches us
to produce our lasting problems?
RECOVERY:
What important source of healing energy does our cultural bias
omit thereby sustaining our dependency upon expensive healing
programs and uninformed educators?
ECONOMICS: What is the force
that produces environmentally and socially destructive economic
relationships?
STRESS: What is the difference
between a fact, a thought and a feeling?
WAR: Why do we continue to
assault nature and people when it doesn't make sense and we neither
like doing it nor its hurtful effects?
INTELLIGENCE: How can we restore
to our thinking the missing 48 sensory intelligences that contemporary
society has buried in our subconscious?
NATURAL SYSTEMS: Why does contemporary
society often identify a person's love of nature as "escapist
recreation and fuzzy thinking" rather than "peaceful
re-creation?"
CORE CHALLENGE: Is our basic
problem that we deny that we are addicted to stories, technologies
and relationships that separate us from nature's balanced ways
and restorative powers?
IMPLEMENTATION: What readily
available, inexpensive, process enables us to strengthen our
inherent ability to build relationships that reduce these problems?
