Program Core:
Does our Organic
form of Ecopsychology as an antidote for Natural System Dysfunction
make sense to you?
Are you excited about it? This is key to being successful as
an Instructor or Administrator for Organic Psychology and Applied
Ecopsychology are newly introduced fields of study.
A simple example
of Organic Psychology-in-action is the decision to take a walk
in the park in order to think or feel better. We benefit from
the refreshing mind-set that results from choosing to visit a
natural area and enjoy nature's renewing ways there. However,
most of us don't recognize that this connection with nature is
far more than just "getting away from our problems."
Contact with nature's supportive powers in the park are also
an antidote for what ails us due to our extreme disconnection
from nature.
Organic Psychology
works because:
- it helps
our consciousness interlace with nature. We benefit from composting
into fertile thoughts the garbage that destructive aspects of
society have dumped into our psyche.
- It helps
us recycle detrimental ways we think and feel; then our renewed
psyche and resilience more effectively repair the damage inflicted
on ourself, society and the environment.
- It gives
us the power to make sensible changes and refute destructive
relationships. This power is an antidote for apathy.
- It increases
our ability to recover from dysfunctions, disorders, addictions,
stress and relationship problems, locally and/or globally.
Organic Psychology
is a nature-connecting science that helps us obtain similar,
stronger benefits when you want them, backyard or backcountry.
You can add it to any profession or relationship and increase
the value of every aspect of it by at least 30 percent.
The "Snake
Oil Cure-All" of Organic Psychology seems unbelievable until
we acknowledge the validity of this observation by Gregory
Bateson and many
others:
"Our greatest
problems result from the difference between how we think and
how nature works."
- Gregory
Bateson
OVERVIEW
This website,
and its remarkable results demonstrates that,
to our loss, an extensive separation of our thinking from the
grace, balance and restorative powers of nature underlies many
of our personal, social and environmental dysfunctions.
For centuries
we have exploited natural systems within and about us. This has
produced a deep cultural prejudice against nature that today
prevents us from reaping the benefits of regenerative nature-reconnecting
NSTP activities.
As we overcome
our prejudice against re-connecting with nature, the activities
help us use nature's grace and restorative powers to transform
our destructive ways into constructive relationships. This enables
us to bring down social and medical costs while increasing the
well-being of people and the environment. To this end, the use
of NSTP Organic Psychology activities can:
- reduce the
health insurance premiums of those who use them while reducing
the health costs of insurance companies.
- be profitably
offered by the pharmaceutical and medical profession as a potent
preventative and to hasten recovery from many disorders.
- reduce the
human service budgets of municipalities while improving personal,
social and environmental health.
- make an important
contribution to conflict resolution on local and global levels
- improve the
economy by reducing environmental costs and adding environmental
recycling and health benefits.
- give added
value to natural areas to help industrial society come into balance
with natural systems within and about us.
- strengthen
mental health by relieving the stress of isolated five-leg thinking.
- increase the
responsibility and profitability of an organization that incorporates
NSTP into its management and operation.
- produce a
whole new human services economy that trains people to use, teach
and reap the benefits of NSTP.
To reach the
momentous goal of healthy sustainable social and environmental
relationships, NSTP Organic Psychology training programs have
been funded by a grant that makes them available
to any individual who wants to help improve the quality of life
of people and earth.
