Institute of Global Education, Special NGO consultant to the United Nations Economic and Social Council Project NatureConnect   Welcome, Thank you for choosing to visit our site and your interest in personal and global wellness. Here's some ways of determining if this program is for you: Have you ever experienced any of these "symptoms?" - had a good experience in nature that heightened your sensory awareness and delight in being alive? - loved a pet, plant or natural place that made life more worthwhile? - felt greater love for a person or people while in a natural area? - loved Mother Earth as you would a caring human parent that you loved? - had strong sensations about connections between yourself and nature that you know are real but can't be easily explained? - felt angry about how we injure or destroy the natural environment and/or its people? - longed for a livelihood that contributed to personal and global balance rather than exploited Earth and people? - noticed that in nature personal disorders subside, stress fades, counseling and education are more effective and you can think more clearly? If you have had just one of these symptoms, Project NatureConnect enables you to make a greater contribution to the welfare of yourself, society and the environment. You have important nature connecting abilities that too often you have learned to ignore. This program nurtures them so that you can make a greater contribution to life in balance. Our extreme separation from nature has produced a short circuit in our thinking. We think we can resolve our personal and global problems by using the same nature disconnected thinking process that causes them. Through the NATURAL SYSTEMS THINKING PROCESS, on these web pages we provide you with distant learning activities, books, courses, and degree programs that help you learn how to think and relate in balance, like nature works. We also offer on-site training experiences. Each of these resources has proven to produce environmentally and socially responsible personal growth and self-improvement. We invite you to learn by doing. Join us by taking our Orientation Course online. Dr. Michael J. Cohen, Project Director   GUARANTEED!
