The
Project NatureConnect Practitioner Cooperative (PNC/PC)
- Michael J. Cohen, Ph.D.
As the
founder and director of Project NatureConnect, I have formed a Practitioner Cooperative (PNC/PC) for those who care to join it.
It is an empowering new business-cooperative opportunity that consists of
individuals who acknowledge that they are born as part
of the Big Bang universe
of nature with the desire to contribute to its welfare.
PNC/PC participants
recognize that in conjunction with authentic nature humanity's sense of
reason has the conscious ability to
make sense of our excessive technological world. They recognize that this
ability must be functioning properly if we are to experience the mental
health and happiness
of peace.
PNC
Practitioners make holistic sense by injecting into their
livelihood/practice a blend of empirical
facts and activities from both subjective and objective evidence about our connection
with nature. Doing this reduces the stress and controversy about how
nature
works in and around us.
Be you a therapist, counselor,
teacher, coach, mentor or medical doctor, I invite
you to consider the value to
yourself and the world of PNC/PC. Its goal is make practical, beneficial livelihood and hobby use of my 47
years
of research while I was living and learning in natural areas.
Far
beyond
reasonable doubt, my observations confirm that the attractive joy and
peaceful, mind-clearing, enchantment that one can experience while
spending quiet time in nature is a seamless continuum of the original
natural attraction energy "seed" of the Big Bang.
With the identity of the Higgs Boson, there is
no
controversy over the standard theory that the seed of the universe that we call the Big Bang came into being 14
billion years ago (NNIAL) or that its
transformation-diversity-attraction dance has continued to grow ever
since.
Over
the eons, the seed has become nature's interconnected and
diversifying universe that we know. We are as it flows through us and replaces each atom in us every 5-7 years. It is us.
PNC/PC
is a mutually supportive social technology opportunity and art, one
that
acts in many ways like a non-profit, eleemosynary corporation. It is
for those of us who acknowledge that our universe, including our living
planet Earth and our body mind and spirit, continue to grow in unified
purity and transformation connection, moment by moment. We have learned
the science of how to consciously think, feel and relate with it and
enlist its balancing and healing powers to increase personal social and
environmental well being
“I
believe that the universe is one being, all its parts are different
expressions of the same energy, and they are all in communication with
each other, therefore parts of one organic whole. … The whole is in all
its parts is so beautiful, and is felt by me so intensely in earnest,
that I am compelled to love it and to think of it as divine.”
-Robinson Jeffers
Introduction
All too many aspects of Industrial Society are fighting an undeclared war on
nature in and around us. As a result, we
suffer many destructive medical and psychological results from
the nature-desensitized mental and spiritual processes that Industrial
Society teaches us.
We seldom live in the mental health of
peaceful balance and sanity with nature and each other. This clearly
demonstrates that our information and society are corrupt
with respect to living in peace, rather than being at war, with nature.
To remedy the hurt
and disorders our war and corruption create and at the same time eliminate its
point
source, Project NatureConnect's accredited art and science of Natural
Attraction Ecology (NAE) makes available accurate medical
type information to enhance the health our consciousness, thinking and
senses.
The PNC
process of Educating, Counseling and Healing with Nature
(ECHN) is like a mental health medicine practice that enables us to
beneficially plug our psyche into the purifying and restorative ways that
unadulterated nature works to sustain its healthy balanced perfection,
in and
around us.
The
recent discovery of the Higgs Boson "God particle" substantiates
the rationale, value and effectiveness of the NAE process. It makes NAE
complete and beyond reasonable doubt. For this reason, there is
no
longer controversy that it is sensible for ECHN to be added to
most practices,
disciplines and technologies in order to increase the peace of
personal, social and environmental well being. To this end, a
self-sustaining cooperative of certified ECHN practitioners has been
formed that welcomes and trains new members. PNC/PC
practitioners
make the accredited ways and means of ECHN, a social technology,
available
to any of their clients who express interest in it and have had at
least one worthwhile experience in nature.
Draft of
PNC/PC
A. Mission:
to have the value of learning and teaching Project NatureConnect's
NNIAL-rooted, NAE-ECHN process be the balancing core and rationale for
supporting Project NatureConnect and the livelihood of its
practitioners. This will help
them implement and enjoy the sound economic, social and environmental
contributions that PNC makes in a good way to enhance happiness.
Nature-connected Massage Therapy or Art or Parenting are
examples
of this combination.
B. Objective:
The goal of the Practitioner's Cooperative is to sustain a profit-based
educational community that consists of trained loyal and dedicated ECHN
practitioners, supporters and program administrators that are in good
standing with PNC. The object is for the wellness, occupation and
economics of each practitioner to increasingly benefit from their
commitment to perpetuate mutually-supportive relationships with the
operation of PNC. the cooperative and each other.
C. Process:
Practitioners are invited to identify themselves with respect to the
specialties, attributes or competencies that they are blending with the
ways and means of NAE. This blend supports them as they
support
it. Practitioners commit to make NAE-ECHN training with
transferable credit available to any interested client that has had at
least one good experience in nature..
The coop uses endowments,
financial contributions, authorities, expertise, work-study and program
income to support the PNC courses, instruction and instructors that a
practitioner's client needs to master NAE and reduce
disorders regardless of the clients financial challenges. This is
accomplished through PNC/PC members pages at ecopsych.com.
These
pages include:
1. up to 30 words about myself and my work for a PNC Facilitator's Group Page plus 5
prime keywords that best describe my work and website. (This
information will be on a Word.doc page so inquirers can locate the
information they want by using a finder. 2. descriptive information for an ecopsych.com page about myself and my work (600 words) 3. a link to the my website target page and/or email 4. inclusion of the PNC Mimbres insignia on my website. 5.material for a press release to be distributed about my work and coop membership. 6. an article by or about me to be published in the Journal of Organic Psychology with links to them. 7. participate in an interactive list to help pnc/pc members help each other and become aware of updates 8. a PNC/PC certificate will be sent to me and my coop membership 9. I will, in turn, create, links back to 1-7, above, and to www.ecopsych.com 10. I will strive to help PNC students master ECHN training as per http://www.pncsteps.com 11.
I will annually make a financial contribution within my budget to help
sustain and administrate the coop via
http://www.ecopsych.com/paypal.html
12. I recognize that 1-11 above may be extended or modified to help meet PNC/PC goals.
In an example test case of Eco-Art Therapy,
1-8 above have dramatically increased the visibility and credibility of
the
Practitioner and PNC on most search engines. For example, do
a
Google search for "eco-art therapy" or "eco-art therapy
nature"
alone or add a single word like: training, degree, course, learn,
become, healing, livelihood, career, biology, Theresa etc.
See
what happens. In three days this process has already brought in new PNC
applications.
Strengthening it in each practioner's area of interest will sensibly
take NNIAL, PNC and each of us
to where we are increasingly able to recover from and stop the
undeclared war against
nature in and around us.
Operation:
Although PNC is operated and mastered by volunteers who learn by doing,
the costs and subsidies for PNC administration, courses and
certifications will be set at a tuition that enables the cooperative to
meet its goals as stated in A-C above.
Surplus funds from the
Co-op's operation will be distributed as dividends to coop
practitioner members based on their financial need and their potential
to help in a good way, as well as the amount of income they bring into
the cooperative through their client's full payment of established
course tuitions and program fees. Reminder: these fees, when
appropriate, will be met, in part or fully, by work study, subsidies,
endowment funds, grants and other forms of financial assistance to the
client, and thereby the practitioner.
Ideas
about Coop Memberships and Requirements (what do you suggest be added,
below?)
As
with the web of life, all transactions and relationships in the
cooperative are made and modified/transformed into mutually beneficial
relationships that help the coop "foxhole" survive in the
conquer-nature battlefield and
enable it and
its members to grow and strengthen.
There are three kinds of memberships: Practitioner, Ambassador and
Contributor as well as combinations of them.
Practitioner
Membership:
A
cooperative practitioner page will be placed the PNC website listing
practitioners with a phone number and a short description of their work
plus links to a landing page that they designate. They will
be
marketed and described as certified to teach the practioner's nature
connected ____________ (practice) along with elements of
Organic
Psychology and Natural Attraction Ecology
Each
practitioner will list PNC affiliation on their site including the Mimbres graphic
and links to www.ecopsych.com or www.saneearth.com
Each
practitioner must minimally have Level One PNC certification plus
complete a PNC/PC application form that includes a description of how
Orientation Course material will be taught or integrated into their
practice. This assures that their clients are literate in
applying ECHN and meeting the course requirements if they want credit
for it, or want to continue on in the program. Practitioner's
will also have the opportunity to create
special agreements that interconnect them with PNC/PC in a good way.
What else
might be helpful on the application?
A yearly
contribution is made to help cover operating costs and make the coop
more self-suffecient?
A
comprehensive exam about the Orientation Course and ECHN to be required
to obtain credit for the course by practitioner clients?
Additional suggestions will be added, above, as they arise
Ambassador
Membership:
Completion
of the Orientation Course plus ECO 800. Ambassadors can
represent PNC to
obtain donations and/or candidates for ECO 500 and receive a commission
accordingly.
Contributor
Membership:
Statement
of understanding and support for the operation and purpose of the coop
and PNC along with how they will contribute to it in a good way
including donations to the endowment.
