leads to Level 1, 2, or 3 certification for combining
the Applied Ecopsychology discipline of Organic Psychology/Natural
Attraction Ecology (OP/NAE) to any of the areas of expertise listed above, and others of interest. This is accomplished by adding OP/NAE courses and training requirements to a properly identified discipline or profession.
Affiliation: The PNC Practitioners' Cooperative (PNC/PC) Certification
can be strengthened by additionally arranging to be a PNC affiliate.
Affiliates are participants who demonstrate Organic Psychology/Natural
Attraction Ecology (OP/NAE) expertise, with or without academic certification
and seek to establish a long term relationship with PNC. This includes
being practitioners for it and/or ambassadors or avatars of it as part of PNC/PC. They are
individuals who recognize that they and their clients live in the standard universe and that for over 50 years PNC has originated
and offered valuable training in the art and science of OP/NAE. They know that
PNC is
a unique organization with a special holistic integrity that
deserves
support and already enjoys strong financial donations to help it
succeed. Future plans are for PNC to become a funded, profitable cooperative owned and operated by
its affiliates. As
part of programs they offer the public, PNC/PC practitioners help their
clients
learn to use the OP/NAE activities that, at minimum, make up the
Orientation
Course and Web of Life Imperative Book. This enables their clients to
obtain credit for their work with the Affiliate, either directly
through practitioners facilitating PNC courses or by clients taking
courses online with PNC/PC. Practitioners gain mutually supportive PNC/PC links
and pages to and from their websites and may add the PNC insignia to
their materials. Practitioners have mastered the basics of the Natural Systems Thinking Process and
The Webstring Model of Natural Attraction Ecology. They are qualified to
teach introductory courses and workshops or incorporate introductory
NatureConnect activities and sensory restoration work into their
personal life and/or professional practice.

Introduction to Certification
Are you learning all you
really need to know?
Why not master the critical
whole life and wellness factor in nature that your education,
to your loss, often omits?
NOTE: The questions below
are not a test. They are offered to you solely as a means for
you to discover if a statement about our relationships with natural
systems can be considered true or false and why.
Start by considering whether
this statement is True or False:
( ..) T ..(..) F
...................... |
Many cultures
demonstrate that humanity is not born into producing the destructive
environmental, social and personal problems associated with contemporary
society. The reason we produce these problems is because our
socialization educates, conditions
and stresses us to produce them.
This results in many personal disorders. |
From the moment of birth
or before, when the stone-age baby first meets its twentieth-century
mother, the baby is subjected to our long existing forces of
outrageous violence to life including its life. By the time the
new human being is fifteen or so, we are left with a being like
ourselves, a half-crazed creature, more or less adjusted to a
mad world. This is normality in our
present age.
- R.
D. Laing (edited)
- The remainder of this self-help
web page is important to you because it conveys facts too embarassing
for most contemporary institutions to admit or face.
- Uniquely, this page connects
you to an powerful tool, an organic
social technology that enables your to benefit from the facts
this page conveys.
- To discover great personal
life coach healing opportunities and alternative medicine counselling
and recovery benefits you may be missing, simply identify the
statements below that are true for you.
..TRUE or FALSE ?
|
We
are part of Nature. The deteriorating state
of the world shows that our society survives from economic
profit and social rewards derived by conquering and exploiting
Earth's natural systems within and around us. As we reduce them
to "natural resources" the injury we inflict to them
produces our personal and environmental troubles. |
"The major problems
in the world are the result of the difference between the way
nature works and the way man thinks."
- Gregory
Bateson
|
Because
we are members of a nature conquering culture, normally, most
educational and psychology systems reward us, and are in turn
rewarded, for teaching us to think and relate in nature-exploitive
ways. This injures natural systems within and around us. Because
the rewards emotionally or psychologically bond or addict us
to our destructive ways, change is very difficult. |
"The
significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level
of thinking we were at when we created them."
- Albert
Einstein Nobel
Prize recipient
|
It
is a form of madness to destroy our own life support system.
Most people can, however, learn how to stop this form of insanity. |
"The condition of alienation,
of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one's
mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values
its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to
become absurd, and thus to be normal.
Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal
men in the last fifty years."
- R.
D. Laing (1989)
|
There
is now a sensory, organic, nature-connected, learning process
that enables you to transform the destructive conditioning and
effects of present day thinking and acting into constructive
relationships. |
"The Educating, Counseling and Healing With Nature process uniquely
empowers people to create authentic, connective, sensory moments
in Nature. This genuine contact of our psyche with its origins
in nature's renewing powers enables us to realign our unreasonable
bonds to destructive relationships. We reap benefits and rewards
as we let natural systems compost and recycle our hurtful bonds
and addictions into cooperative participation."
- M.
B. Jones.....................

You,
may choose as part of your personal or professional goals to
increase the value power and responsibility of your education
by mastering a nature connected learning process. You may reduce
your present tuition costs, if any, in the process. |
"Biophilia is our inborn,
emotional affiliation to other living organisms. It is a powerful
form of reasoning that looks at the very roots of motivation
and helps us understand why we cherish and protect life"
Edward O. Wilson (edited) Pullitzer Prize recipient
|
Nature's
intelligence, the way nature works, naturally attracts Planet
Earth and our mind and body into a healthy, purifying, balance.
Unadulterated natural systems seldom, if ever, produce our garbage,
pollution, stress, mental illness or war. Nature rarely displays
loneliness, abusiveness, or excessive violence. As part of nature,
we inherit its peaceful intelligence in our senses and sensibility.
To our loss and cost, our society does not require that we learn
how to nurture and think with this intelligence. Rather, our
historic tendency is to abuse, assault and conquer it; our greatest
troubles result. |
"Scientific
research is based on the idea that everything that takes place
is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for
the action of people."
- Albert
Einstein
|
Learning
how to implement and enjoy the responsible rewards of your natural
intelligence is a vital but missing element in most Education
curriculums. This web site presents you with the opportunity
to learn how to produce the remarkable benefits of thinking with
nature as a resilient component of your personal and professional
life. If you are a nature lover, this web site helps you more
fully use and enjoy the rewards of that powerful love in your
profession and personal life. |
The human need for nature
is linked not just to the material exploitation of the environment
but also to the influence of the natural world on our emotional,
cognitive, aesthetic, and even spiritual development.
- Edward
O. Wilson

You
can graduate from any school with the Educating, Counseling and Healing With Nature certificate
(seen below) as a part of your diploma that opens many doors
for you and that may be used as part of high school, undergraduate,
graduate or post doctoral education. |
"Until
mankind can extend the circle of his compassion to include all
living things, he will never, himself, know peace."
- Albert
Schweitzer Nobel
Prize recipient
