Greetings
Nature Enthusiast,
Thanks
for visiting our Web page. We appreciate your interest in nature within
and around us and its welfare.
Are
your
53 natural senses working for you? They are for us. We are a
multi-interest group of professionals, students and adults.
This
project's method's materials and courses have provided us with strong
feelings of community, of nature centered thinking, friendships,
support, trust, fun, peace and purpose. These promote a heightened
sense of self-worth and environmental responsibility accompanied by
greater physical and mental wellness. All this through e-mail, although
we sometimes find ways of meeting personally, too.
Many
of us personally or professionally have been searching ways to
effectively connect to, benefit from and support the wise and peaceful
world of nature. We look to share this desire with others and build
additional trustable and nurturing friendships. This, and more, we have
found in this program and knowing each other.
We
invite you to join with us on our e-mail path to greater natural
awareness, to stronger bonds between ourselves and our earth home, and
to form valued friendships along the way. We'd be happy to help you
with your questions so please feel free to contact us at any time.
We'd
love to hear about yourself and your interests and hope you will say
write and say hello. The best way to get to know our history together
is the survey.
Best
wishes,
Linda, Steve, Jan, Mark, Gert, Joan, Barry and Mike for all the others
P.S.:
Perhaps the best short explanation of what we do and why, is our

With Nature by Michael J. Cohen, Ed.D. We look forward to
knowing you better on our free 3-day

Too
often we suffer and feel helpless because the deterioration of humanity
and the environment hurts us and we are unaware of its cause.
Research demonstrates that the stress arising from
our extreme sensory separation from our nurturing origins in Nature
underlies most of our unsolvable personal, social, and global problems.
In a
democracy, to reach our hopes and dreams the knowledge we discover must
be accompanied by a readily available educational process that
motivates and enables the public to apply the knowledge.
With
respect to our destructive disconnection from nature, the web page
links, below, empower you to use and teach an effective rehabilitating
process that will help you improve most settings and relationships.
