PURPOSE AND RATIONALE
Members of industrial society suffer critical problems because although as part of nature we are born of natural love, -- the vital force that sustains nature's balanced perfection -- we educate and train ourselves to spend over 95% of our lives indoors, separated from nature's holistic healing ways in natural areas.
Indoors, we miss self-help, career education and emotional support available from contact with the natural love in nature's holistic systems outdoors.
Our alternative is to make conscious sensory contact with nature outdoors and obtain self-help renewal.
Just a short walk in the park demonstrates that our mind, body and spirit gain from holistic contact with the natural love found in nature. Nature wants to sustain our well-being as part of sustaining its own health and wellness.
On average, for over 99 percent of our lifetime, our thoughts and consciousness are out of contact and out of tune with the vital science and satisfactions provided by the grace, balance and regenerative powers of natural systems in natural areas. This profound loss of natural love in our lives weakens the resilience of our mind, feelings and immune system. We become vulnerable to irresponsible materials and relationships.
"Human behavior is rooted most deeply in nature's intentions and desire. The rhythms of nature underlie all of human interaction: religious traditions, economic systems, cultural and political organization. When these human forms betray the natural psychic pulse, people and societys get sick, nature is exploited and entire species are theratened."
-Stephen Aizenstat
We seldom value distance learning career training and science that addresses the detrimental materials and relationships produced by our nature-disconnected thinking. The destructive warp in the way we think produces global warming and many other environmental and social disasters because it ignores the alternative lifestyles and natural love opportunities that are available through distance learning nature-connected education
Alternative PNC nature science and career training education courses distance learning make a monumental contribution to the well-being of people and the environment. They offer unique self-help processes and tools that enable us to scientifically strengthen our resilience by genuinely reconnecting our thinking and feeling with the restorative natural love and healing energies in nature. This educational career training, distance learning, helps us correct the hurtful dysfunctions produced by our excessive disconnection from nature.
Too often we forget that natural systems within and around us have the holistic natural love ability to heal themselves, be the injury a bulldozed landscape, a scraped knee or an emotional hurt. But even when we do remember this, nature cannot help us scientifically heal our dysfunctions or improve our wellness and relationship while our anti-nature bias makes us separate ourselves from authentic nature and its ability to do this.
Our dysfunctions remain because our immediate material and economic rewards condition our thinking with the prejudice of our cultural bias against nature and natural love. We exploit and conquer nature, today, with full knowledge that the natural love in systems like water, air, soil and sunlight along with the intelligent workings of the plant animal and mineral kingdoms are key to our survival, and to life and natural beauty as we know it.
Our thinking is our destiny. Bewildered (wilderness separated), we foolishly expect the same nature-disconnected, unscientific thinking process that produces our discontents to help us overcome them.
Project NatureConnect's holistic alternative offers us a self-help science that enables us to genuinely reconnect with nature and its restorative powers, overcome our bewilderment and improve our personal and professional relationships. This alternative educates us in how to deal with the non-holistic factors that harmfully disconnect us from natural love in natural areas. It gives us and alternative educational science and self-help tool that enables us to enjoy nature's grace and benefits.
To respect ourselves, we must respect all of nature for our mind, body and soul are the flow of natural systems.
"Our religion keeps reminding us that we aren't just will and thoughts. We're also sand and wind and thunder and rain and the seasons. All those things. You learn to respect everything because you are everything. If you respect yourself, you respect all things."
- Least Heat Moon
The Social Science, graduate and professional outcomes of Project NatureConnect's fifty-five years of research and experience in building constructive relationships with natural systems suggest that education, psychology, counseling or healing that is not organic tends to produce as many problems as it solves.
