Nature-Connected Degree Classes and Programs
"I
can tell you from direct experience that a Ph.D. is not worthless. I
have been a Social Worker for decade now and have been licensed all
that time. But I have been astonished at the difference in the reaction
I get from people now when I answer the phone as Dr. Frankel when
calling clients, other therapists, and lawyers with whom I am working.
Just astonished! There is such a higher level of respect that takes so
much work otherwise to establish, if I could even get to there at all.
I never dreamt there would be such a difference."
OVERVIEW:
How a degree in the Applied Ecopsychology of Natural Attraction Ecology (NAE) through Educating, Counseling and Healing With Nature (ECHN)
improves your professional and personal life and makes an important
contribution to the lives of others.
NOTE: We recognize that the major disadvantage in investing in a degree is the financial burden, often lifelong, that a degree incurs. The degree programs from PNC-cooperating
Universities remove this burden. To
successfully meet our mission to help you increase
personal, social and environmental well-being, our tuition fees are, on
average, 85 percent less than most other degree programs. We are
grateful to the cooperative efforts of our students and contributors for making this possible.
Our programs
are accredited and equivalent to all similar courses and degrees
internationally. In addition, they are functional, experiential and
practical.
1.
As our great problems persist, Industrial Society
increasingly recognizes that we suffer major troubles due to the
difference between the nature-separted way we habituate ourselves to think
and how nature, in its perfection, works. Today, we know that we
desparately need to "green" our relationships, to enjoy bringing them
into balance and to make them self-sustaining. Individuals who can
contribute to this end are, and will further be, sought
in responsible workplaces, institutions and markets.
2.
A degree or certificate in ECHN identifies you as a person who has the
wisdom, integrity and perseverence to seek advanced education and
training. You are recognized as an individual who can make a
greater contribution than those without a degree or ECHN training.
3.
Many jobs and careers prefer that a candidate have the qualifications
that accompany an academic degree, no matter its subject area. Your
degree signals you have an intellectual curiosity and an interest in
personal development and social responsibility.
4.
Many relationships honor individuals who have wisely sought the
expertise to be successful in a good way. Each of us is not an island
onto ourself, we feel and relate better when we have support from our
social and natural environment and know that we have the ability to
support it. A degree helps us benefit from this kind of mutual
support.
5. Individuals with degrees are usually rewarded by enjoying:
- higher income scale and job benefits.
- higher levels of saving,
- increased personal/professional mobility,
- improved quality of life for their children,
- better consumer decision making,
- more hobbies and leisure activities
- greater open-mindedness, culture and rationality,
- greater consistency and less authoritarianism
- better qualities that are passed to the next generation
- decreased prejudice, increased critical thinking
- enhanced knowledge of world affairs
- increased economic and job security
- good health for oneself and one's children.
- higher cultural and family values
- better preparation of their children for the future.
- more optimistic views of personal progress.
- greater enlightenment and mindfulness
6.
You need not change your location or occupation to benefit from an ECHN
degree. You may learn and teach it at home. You may enhance your
present or future occupation by adding the value of ECHN to it.

Our courses serve as rungs of our educational ladder. It climbs to increasingly greater skills
that are validated by three incremental competency levels of
Certification.
The courses prepare the participant
to optionally matriculate into a final, pre-selected, research semester,
or more, at a university
of their choice. Their Project NatureConnect coursework is transferred
to that school and becomes part of their transcript there, where we
often serve as faculty. This independent cooperative relationship enables us
to help our students avoid destructive traps that sometimes accompany
higher education.
Program Application forms are available
online. However, they are more easily completed by emailing for one at nature@interisland.net

Counseling and Healing with Nature
As nature-connected people(s)
have shown, humanity is not born genetically carrying the destructive
ways of contemporary society. To our loss, our destructiveness
results from our excessively nature-disconnected way of life.
It socializes and educates us onto our often questionable path.
Since our lives are a continuum
of the flow of natural systems and their restorative ways, education that teaches
us how to include nature in our thinking and relationships is
critical for reducing the detrimental stress, resulting from our
nature-separation, and for sustaining human and environmental
wellness. A great challenge is to overcome our nature-disconnected
belief that it is neither possible, practical nor valuable to
learn how to use Organic
Psychology to reconnect our thinking with how nature
works.
The unique online course, certification
and degree program opportunities linked to this page enable any
interested person to master a nature-reconnecting sensory tool
that helps us think and relate through genuine contact with nature's
beauty, peace and regenerative powers around and within us.
