Program Overview THE ECOPSYCHOLOGY OF EDUCATING, COUNSELING AND HEALING WITH NATURE Updated from PSYCHOLOGY TODAY, May-June 1994 From the druids of the Celtic forests to the great tribes of American Indians, people have sought balance, peace and wisdom by living according to the laws of Mother Nature. Unfortunately, this century will be remembered for unprecedented exploitation of nature--and widespread psychological disturbance of individuals. No coincidence to Michael J. Cohen, Ph.D., pioneer of an Organic Psychology he calls Integrated or Natural Attraction Ecology or Applied Ecopsychology. A synthesis of ecology and psychology, integrated ecology proposes that both the destruction of the Earth's environment and people's isolation, stress and dysfunction stem from a fundamental denial of our sensory-emotional connection to, and support from, nature. And by psychologically reconnecting with nature, we reverse our psychological disorders. Western civilization emphasizes only the faculties of sight, reason, and language, forcing most of us to suppress our inherent natural senses --all 54 of them, by Cohen's reckoning. Among them: hunger, thirst, compassion; color, sex, place; trust, belonging, intuition; community, nurturing and motion, reason, consciousness and language. Each is a supportive, natural attraction form of love that sentiently connects us to the world. We inherently register them and think with them to make sense. Spending over 95% of our lives cloistered and indoors leaves our natural sensory connections excessively wanting; global citizenship waines, human dysfunction and evils -- cigarette smoking, greed, dependencies, tranquilizers, violence -- naturally follow to help satisfy the frustrations that result from our profound sensory loss of nature's purifying powers in our thinking and feeling. Cohen, the founder of Natural Attraction Ecology, is not a lone hunter of the bond between man and nature. According to Pulitzer-Prize winning sociobiologist Edward O. Wilson, Ph.D., of Harvard, people have an inherent biological need to be in supportive contact with the out-of-doors. He calls it "biophilia", and believes that nature may hold the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive, and even spiritual satisfaction. Our childhood love of animals and natural myths and fairy tales may be early evidence of our basic affinity for nature and its instructive and healing properties. Many studies affirm Wilson's observations. Counseling and building responsible relationships by reconnecting with Nature? Cohen has devised therapeutic online study training manuals, workshops, on-site and e-mail/correspondence support group courses, discussion groups and degree programs whose global citizenship activities, in backyards or back country, re-create many beneficial relationships enjoyed by earlier hunting, gathering, and communal living peoples. In the American Psychological Association Journal "The Humanistic Psychologist" (Vol. 21, No. 3) and other professional publications, he reports that while on these education programs community spirit and responsibility grows, participant's personality and eating disorders subside, learning and other cognitive abilities improve, and violence and prejudice dissolve. His participants learn to do, own and teach unforgettable nature connecting support activities that produce these results throughout their lives. Gradually, a deep environmental literacy evolves that rejuvenates their natural senses, balance and joy. "I was deeply moved by some of the experiences shared by the other participants; they inspired me in difficult times, to use the nature-connection techniques that they used." - Orientation Course Participant Application Your class is forming now. From his home base at Project NatureConnect, Cohen offers books, workshops, grants training and degree programs and information about ecologically oriented education, outdoor psychology and therapeutic methods to attain good global citizenship. Cohen believes our greatest problem to be that the unreasonable bias of Industrial Society includes a deep perception that our planet is not like a living organism and that we are not like a cell in it. We don't believe that we need to learn how to 'Do onto Earth and nature as we would do onto ourselves.' Visit descriptions and evaluations of the course operation, its outcomes and some students who participate and mentor it. Read the whole course in Cohen's book The Web of Life Imperative "This course is an oasis in the middle of our dessert of disconnection. Our relationships with our self, others, and the entire web of nature shape and define us. Through the “moments that let the life of Nature teach” I felt that each of us found our way back to the beautiful truth of who we naturally are. And from that space we could experience those connections that let us know that we are seen, we are acknowledged, we are valued, we are loved. When that happens we are free to feel the joy we are embedded in." - Orientation Course Participant Application Your class is forming now.                           Orientation Program Navigator The Orientation Program A Welcome letter and Evaluations Evaluations by Experts  Mutual Support Goals Description of Organic Psychology Course Process Course Overview Dolng It  Tuition NOTE: You may read full information about the rationale, process and course sequence of the total certificate or degree degree program.
