Introduction to Organic
and Applied Ecopsychology Training, Degrees and Jobs
Welcome to the hands-on Project
NatureConnect degree program training courses and jobs.
While Earth and its people
are increasingly at risk, far too many of us can't stop gaining
fulfillment by dancing on the deck of our sinking ship. This
always affordable distance learning training program and its
courses enable students to introduce a new, more satisfying dance
step: Organic
and Applied Ecopsychology, a
step that repairs and restores the integrity of the ship and
its passengers.
Organic
and Applied Ecopsychology
offers nature connected educational, counseling and healing techniques
and jobs along with certification, degrees and individual loans
and grants. It is designed for those who are thoughtful enough
to recognize that many destructive aspects of our society don't
stop because we are psychologically bonded to them; that to promote
change we must invoke a process that addresses these bonds.
This program of Organic and Applied
Ecopsychology promotes
responsible change by helping us make conscious sensory contact
with natural areas. There, through nature's grace, balance and
regenerative powers, we responsibly reconnect with sensory and
spiritual origins. They help us reignite our joy and heal our
nature-disconnected cravings, stress and hurt .
Students learn how to use nature
sensitive activities, teach them to others and build them into
their jobs, careers and relationships. They become experts in
producing worthwhile ways of relating that create and sustain
personal and global integrity.
The framework of this program
is a proven Organic
and Applied Ecopsychology
Natural Systems
Thinking Process. Natural systems intelligently sustain balance.
They cooperatively create life, diversity and beauty without
producing garbage, pollution or our other challenging problems.
As part of nature natural systems in our mind, body and spirit
inherently know how to do this. Organic and Applied Ecopsychology helps our consciousness tap into this
wisdom. The Natural Systems Thinking Process enables us to think
and relate using this natural part of us. It is activated by
genuinely reconnecting it to the perfection of our restorative
origins and support in nature.
The
Learning Process:
Our degree programs and jobs
in Organic
and Applied Ecopsychology
offer hands-on courses, internships and research. They blend
wellness, psychology and ecology with sustainability. The natural
world is our classroom and teacher, the internet our vehicle
for instruction, communication and shared learning.
Students master activities in educating and counseling with nature
that incorporate personal and team learning as well as research,
internships and teacher training. They learn how to create moments
that let Earth teach. .
Course participation, contract
learning and research is done independently at home, utilizing
e-mail, at the student's contracted pace and with on-site study
options. Participants learn on-the-job pratical methods and materials
to promote personal, professional and spiritual growth.
Each student's applicable credits and life experiences are transferred
into their programs. This reduces the time necessary to complete
the program.
Our accredited courses may be transferred into other degree programs
and jobs that accept them.
NOTE: The
best way to learn the Process is to engage in it through our
short, online Orientation
Course. You may then intern and later teach the course if
you choose.
The
Orientation Course (ECO 500) is an accredited one credit course
that becomes part of your program.
After you obtain information
about the Project NatureConnect program from this web site by
using the Navigation guide (left column), a free, helpful 15
minute discussion by phone with a faculty
member is the most effecient way to customize the program
to your goals.
