COUNSELING, EDUCATING AND HEALING WITH NATURE:
Sensory restorative nature activities for wellness, spirit and deeper learning.Irrefutable studies now confirm that stress and emotional hurt emanating from our nature disconnected roots creates insatiable wants that cause most of our continuing personal, social and environmental dysfunctions.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION These courses help people discover how our excessive separation from nature stresses our sentient inner nature and causes our often unsolvable problems. Learn to reverse this destructive process. Master thoughtful, nature-reconnecting, reasoning and activities that dissolve stress by satisfying our deepest natural loves, wants and spirit. This program teaches hands-on education, counseling and mental health skills that tap the "higher power" wisdom of the biological creation process that drives natural systems within and about us. Its unique methods and materials let nature nurture self-esteem, friendships and responsibility through e-mail, telephone and personal contacts. Start this restorative distance learning program at your convenience by obtaining an application. Financial aid, internships and facilitator positions are available. Further information about the program and process is available.
"Presents an accessible, simple, enjoyable and extremely powerful way that love for all life may heal the deep wounds that we suffer."
- Elisabeth Ryland, Ph.D.
"Timely sound theory and well grounded experience. In our struggle to find connectedness and meaning it allows the natural world to nurture a responsible growing edge of culture."- Bill Hammond, Director of Environmental Education, Lee County, FL.
