PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

Educating Counseling and Healing With Nature

Degrees, Grants, Career Training Courses and Jobs Online.


Individuals who have enjoyed a refreshing visit in a natural area often report that their sensory contact with nature's balance and beauty increased their well-being in lasting ways. They say that the connection renewed their psyche, cleared their mind and energized their spirit. To this end, the remarkable process of Educating, Counseling and Healing With Nature (ECHN) empowers anyone, anytime, to increase personal, social and environmental well-being, and to help others do the same.

ECHN students learn how to help nature's self-correcting ways interlace with their heart, mind and spirt. This enables them, along with their clients and friends, to increase health and wellness through a grant for thinking, feeling and relating like nature's perfection works.

Educating Counseling and Healing With Nature offers critical nature connected distant education and university distance learning, graduate school scholarships and alternative careers degrees, and jobs. They are designed for independent thinkers who want to add sensory nature-contact methods and reading to therapy, teaching or coaching practices. The environmental need is great for those who have the integrity and dedicated passion to master sustainable, green, health and wellness spirituality skills.  They help individuals who need or seek a safe alternative to the destructive ways of society that block the restorative flow of nature in through and around us. 

We honor your desire to blend your life experience and training with your respect for nature, by providing special grants and equivalence credit for it.

If you like, you may combine our certified accredited coursework with a Nature-Connected Degree or Certificate in most subjects, personal interests, or jobs. (see bottom of this page)

BRIEF NEED STATEMENT

Instructional programs for mid-career adults are effective, many times,

only to the extent that the participants can individualize their studies

for immediate application within the professional environment. General

programs of study must make provisions for students to undertake highly

advanced inspections of the scholarly literature to allow an individualized

and specialized preparation. Participants, motivated to explore aspects of

the subject matter in greater detail, should be encouraged and guided in

this pursuit. In fact, it is essential that educational institutions

maximize the relevance of advanced studies to the demands and expectations

of the community, business, corporate, governmental, and professional

arenas within which the students live and work. Such strategies which

relate learning more closely to actual demands and expectations of life and

work and what educators call "reality" permit more effective preparation

of the participants for the real challenges they will face in the

professional arena. Students who learn in this manner are advantaged

within the marketplace and highly desired by employers.

 

Effective investigation of higher level theories, principles, and practices

is an essential elements in the development of the successful professional

practitioner in every field of endeavor. Rigorous programs of advanced

level reading have lead many to achieve higher ideals with the

competencies, wisdom, values, and motivations necessary to stand out

effectively within their professions and thereby make meaningful

contributions to the betterment of the human condition.

 

 

COURSE AUDIENCE

Open as an elective to all graduate and undergraduate students with the

permission of the instructor.

 

FACULTY-STUDENT COMMUNICATIONS

 

-Telephone Contacts

The student will initiate an initial telephone conference with the

instructor within one week of enrollment to clarify a plan of action for

the course. This initial contact will help familiarize the student and

instructor with one another, and permit the transmission of clear

expectations for completion of course requirements. Periodic telephone

interaction , as required, at student's expense, should be continued for

the duration of the course.

 

-Email Communications

Frequent email communications between student and instructor should be

initiated and continued for the duration of the course.

 

-Alternative Communications

Students may send communications and materials via postal service, as

appropriate. Chat room sessions, when available, can be held on a weekly

basis.

 

 

COURSE DELIVERY STYLE

Students conduct a broad based and exhaustive search for literature in a

specialized advanced area of study and pursue foundational and advanced

level readings under the direction of the instructor. The readings should

relate to a specific thesis set as the foundation for the literature

review. To the extent that it reflects upon an overarching thesis

statement, the readings may be an indepth review of a single author's works

or an historical or cross-cultural survey within a defined area of study.

The participants prepare journal notations concerning the salient points

from the literature and creates an annotated bibliography of the readings.

The student's review of the literature should include the reading of

reviews and critiques of the literature under investigation, especially

concerning the validity and applicability of research studies or theories

within a range of "real world" settings. The participant creates a

academic paper which contains a highly effective scholarly presentation

with an academic argument which reflects upon the thesis and literature in

a creative manner. The manuscript must adhere to an acceptable manual of

writing style and be of publishable quality.

SPECIAL NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS

 

-Course Completion

The grade of Incomplete may be given ONLY AFTER discussion with the

instructor and only if there is an extremely good reason to give such a

grade. An Incomplete will NOT be given because a student is "behind" in

work, needs extra time, simply because s/he wants to delay the completion

of the assignments. It is important that you turn in assignments within

the parameters of the agreed timeline. However, there are often unforeseen

circumstances will may befall any of us, therefore, I will be patient with

you in the event of some personal crisis. Don't surprise me at the last

minute, call me, email me, and we will work it out.

 

-Thoughts about Writing.

Purchase a collegiate writing style manual. If you are unclear which is

the appropriate manual, please contact me and we can discuss this important

issue. All written work should adhere to the writing style and manuscript

preparation guidelines described in your style manual. Pay extra special

attention to the rules related to referencing and citation of the academic

literature. In all circumstances, you will be expected to acknowledge th

works of others which have informed the work you wish to submit as your

own. If you are unclear with regard to this expectation, ask before you

begin writing.

 ......................................................................................................

-Academic Integrity

Academic dishonest in any of its forms, including cheating, plagiarism,

misuse of the University web site, failure to comply with guidelines for

the preparation of a scholarly manuscript, and all aspects of professional

ethics, will not be tolerated. Any form of academic dishonesty is grounds

for dismissal from the program.

 Journal quotes from students who are doing natural attraction activities:

z
I just put mom on a plane back to the states last night at midnight and for the first time in a week it is quiet enough for me to sit and reflect on the one and only opportunity in Egypt that was attractive enough to do the activity.  As my time in the Middle East is within 7 months of concluding I am finding the desire to travel and explore waining.  The joy of seeing new places is tainted by the overpowering direct experiences with country after country's blatant pollution and attack on the environment.  Egypt is a mess and it wasn't until the very last day that I felt attracted to a somewhat clean beach to literally bow down to nature, letting earth teach me how to be flexible and adaptable.  On my knees I put the weight of my upper body on my hands at the place where an occasional wave would wash up to wet them.  The sand was firm and solid and held me, that is until a wave covered them.  This caused the sand to shift under me, with my palms digging a little trench and my fingers moving upward from the displaced sand.  With each new wave the sand and I were supporting and molding each other.  Each grain of sand joined with the other grains as I repeated the phrase, "What would you like to teach me?"  The answers came as single ideas: flexibility. flow. adaptable. water. balance. webstring. wave. rejuvenation. 

With mom being on the beach with me, she took an interest in what I was doing and read the copy of the chapter I had left on the blanket.  She said that she read the copy of the chapter I had left on the blanket and thought it was interesting.  As we were packing up I noticed that she had a few shells with her so I asked if she asked nature for permission to take them.  As she looked out towards the Mediterranean she said in a mocking tone, "Nature can I take these home with me?  Yes.  Okay."  Then she looked over at me and added, "Nature always says yes."  I don't particularly handle conflict, agitation, or my own frustration very well so I decided to move away from mom towards the water for a bit.  Shortly afterwards I returned, helped her to finish packing up, and asked if she read both sides of the paper that I copied the chapter onto.  My suspicion was that she only read the front and not the back side with the directions for the activity.  She said she only read the part about capture the flag so I handed her the paper back and she read as we walked.  Her first comment was, "That's why you asked if I asked nature for permission to take the shells."  That is when we approached the trash zone of the beach, the spot where the tidal action has washed up anything that was close enough to wash up.  I told mom to be careful with some boards with nails protruding from them, adding, "This is what happens when we think that nature always says yes."

Flash forward a few minutes as we passed by some rose bushes.  She goes up to smell one while I keep heading to the hotel room.  A few moments later in comes mom with a rose and a smile while saying, "Nature said yes."  I'm done, emotionally exhausted after being in a car travelling around Egypt for 4 days straight so I leave the room and head out.  I don't really remember where I went but when I got back mom was gone and Jena said that she had gone back to the beach to return something.  I haven't asked mom what she was 'returning' because she told me that she was going to was the sand off her shoes.  By not asking her I think that I want to believe that mom was putting the shells back on the beach because she realized that nature hadn't given her the consent to take them home with her.

As I talked through this experience with Jena I realized that the deep, personal respect and connection I am cultivating with nature is a lot to ask someone like my mom to have instantaneously, especially when mom used to live and work on a cattle ranch, owned and operated a logging company, has worked in a brewery, and did the accounting for a Native American gambling casino.  This experience, rather, is an opportunity to share a perspective that I think my mom understands deep down.


The time sitting in the sand on an Egyptian Mediterranean beach saved the whole trip from being an emotionally lost five days. It is not the pyramids that made an impact on me.  Instead it was the tiny grains of sand on a quiet beach (sand grains that make pyramid building possible).Thank you sand.

The more flags that we try to capture the more distant we become from ourselves. The planet is all that we have in common.  If we were to avoid the dangers and destructive effects of conquest, whenever possible it was best to change or limit participating in situations or institutions that encouraged it."

I much enjoyed your visit with Tree. Laying your cheek upon Tree's trunk is a beautiful gesture of love and appreciation. Perhaps Tree has many things to say to you and is extending to you an invitation to conversations!

I find your dissatisfaction with the focus on "nature disconnection" to be a sign of your search for a continuing feeling of integrity within your self. I get a sense of how brave you are in speaking in a forthright manner of your discontent with the nature disconnection focus. It seems unlikely that you would ever be a "yes" man :-) and that is such a valuable strength that you seem to carry.

I too find that we grow best through attraction and appreciation and find that there is often a bit too much focus on things that aren't working.

It is my understanding that our "unattractions" are our sensory perceptions that are guiding us to the fulfillment of some attractions that are wanting fulfillment. I have found it helpful to feel into these unattractions/ get a sense of these unattractions for the purpose of understanding better what it is that I do want - what attractions are wanting to be fulfilled. I guess more simply put - What I don't want (my unattractions) are guiding me to better know what it is that I do want (my attractions wanting to be fulfilled) - all on a sensory level and not so much on a "deciding" level.  Dr. Cohen talks of this in his book "Reconnecting with Nature" and I have found this to be one of the most valuable gems of the work.

In the end we each make our way through the forest by letting our many sensory webstrings guide us.

Reading about this activity immediately my ‘energy place’ in Austria came to my mind. It’s on top of a hill where I see in the East close by a huge lake and after that flat land, in North and South partly hills with forest, partly agriculture land, specially vineyards, and in the West the mountains of the Alps. I visit this place at all seasons and each time I return I come back more balanced. Being there I experience that my attention gets caught by different things, either animals, birds, insects, or the landscape, trees, or wind, snow, rain, sun, clouds. Sometimes I just enjoy the moment, sometimes I learn from what caught my attention, sometimes I just daydream, sometimes I try to find answers, sometimes I find questions.
 
-------
 
Reading the updated pages I find most statements matching with my thoughts or assumptions. And want to pick out two:
 
--------
 
“This is why  I say love is a flowing, because it's not "My"  Love it is God's/Creation's/Nature's and it flows to me and through  me. When I hold it and claim it to be mine it stops flowing and suffering happens.”
 
This sentence let’s me also remember about a phenomenon which is so normal and integrated part of our social life that it might be heretic to even question this. We spend a lot of time and work hard to safe money to be able to buy land and claim it to be our own, and develop then a more intensive relationship to the part within the fence, then to the rest of the world. Mother Earth might nurture me, but on MY grass there will be no weeds! Sometimes I wonder how the world would look if we wouldn’t have developed that idea. – Guess what, I got that thought one time on my energy hill ;)
 
--------
 
“Language, however, is usually a shortcut consisting of  abstractions of real relationships. It becomes a source of our  problems when, through nature-disconnecting stories, it excessively  removes our thinking from our sensory origins in the web and  its balanced wisdom.”
 
 
As important as language is, each word is nothing but a generalization of an experience and therefore automatically will create distortions and/or deletions for the one who receives a message, which will be filled with interpretations and creativity, but at the end will let us experience also emotions, feelings, and thoughts, with a high chance that they are different then intended. We are surrounded by ‘Chinese whispers’ and it needed years of teaching, preaching and commercials to cultivate us successfully into I-love-it-I-need-it mall shoppers. Therefore I’m waiting in the wings, ready to touch mud again, smiling and thinking, this time it will be even with a process.

"Human behavior is rooted most deeply in nature's intentions and desire. The rhythms of nature underlie all of human interaction: religious traditions, economic systems, cultural and political organization. When these human forms betray the natural psychic pulse, people and societies get sick, nature is exploited and entire species are threatened."

-Stephen Aizenstat

 


In industrial society our excessively nature-separated lives mold us to betray the natural psychic pulse. We learn to block from our thinking over 98 percent of the wise sensory callings and fulfillments we normally share with natural systems and their eons of experience. Our subconscious hurt and frustration from the severed disconnection of these senses underlies our greatest troubles.

-Michael J. Cohen
