Visit our Homepage for complete information   Project NatureConnect Degrees   Degree Preparatory Classes and Programs   LEARNING BY DEGREES: Project NatureConnect online courses for the Master's and Doctoral program serve as rungs of an educational ladder. It climbs to increasingly greater skills that are validated by three incremental competency levels of Certification. The courses prepare the participant to optionally enter a final, pre-selected, research semester or more at a university of their choice. Their Project NatureConnect coursework is transferred to that school and becomes part of their transcript there. Application forms are available online for each segment of the program.     Online Programs for Learning, Counseling and Healing with Nature As nature-connected people(s) have shown, humanity is not born genetically carrying the destructive ways of contemporary society. To our loss, our destructiveness results from our excessively nature-disconnected way of life. It socializes and educates us onto our often questionable path. Since our lives are a continuum of natural systems and their perfection, education that teaches us how to include nature in our thinking and relationships is critical for reducing the detrimental stress resulting from our nature-separation and for sustaining human and environmental wellness. A great challenge is to overcome our nature-disconnected belief that it is neither possible, practical nor valuable to learn how to use Organic Psychology to reconnect our thinking with how nature works. The unique online course, certification and degree program opportunities linked to this page enable any interested person to master a nature-reconnecting sensory tool that helps us think and relate through genuine contact with nature's beauty, peace and regenerative powers around and within us.   The Application Process .
