PROCESS: 

PNC Certification: 

Following the course sequence and links on the community process calendar leads to Level 1, 2, or 3 certification for combining the Applied Ecopsychology discipline of Organic Psychology/Natural Attraction Ecology (OP/NAE) to any of the areas of expertise listed above, and others of interest.  This is accomplished by adding OP/NAE courses and training requirements to a properly identified discipline or profession.

Affiliation:  The PNC Practitioners' Cooperative (PNC/PC)

Certification can be strengthened by additionally arranging to be a PNC affiliate. Affiliates are participants who demonstrate Organic Psychology/Natural Attraction Ecology (OP/NAE) expertise, with or without academic certification and seek to establish a long term relationship with PNC. This includes being practitioners for it and/or ambassadors or avatars of it as part of PNC/PC. They are individuals who recognize that they and their clients live in the standard universe and that for over 50 years PNC has originated and offered valuable training in the art and science of OP/NAE. They know that PNC is a unique organization with a special holistic integrity that deserves support and already enjoys strong financial donations to help it succeed. 

Future plans are for PNC to become a funded, profitable cooperative owned and operated by its affiliates.

As part of programs they offer the public, PNC/PC practitioners help their clients learn to use the OP/NAE activities that, at minimum, make up the Orientation Course and Web of Life Imperative Book. This enables their clients to obtain credit for their work with the Affiliate, either directly through practitioners facilitating PNC courses or by clients taking courses online with PNC/PC. Practitioners gain mutually supportive PNC/PC links and pages to and from their websites and may add the PNC insignia to their materials.

Practitioners have mastered the basics of the Natural Systems Thinking Process and The Webstring Model of Natural Attraction Ecology. They are qualified to teach introductory courses and workshops or incorporate introductory NatureConnect activities and sensory restoration work into their personal life and/or professional practice.

Introduction to Certification

Are you learning all you really need to know?

Why not master the critical whole life and wellness factor in nature that your education, to your loss, often omits?

 

NOTE: The questions below are not a test. They are offered to you solely as a means for you to discover if a statement about our relationships with natural systems can be considered true or false and why.

 

Start by considering whether this statement is True or False:

 ( ..) T ..(..) F
......................
Many cultures demonstrate that humanity is not born into producing the destructive environmental, social and personal problems associated with contemporary society. The reason we produce these problems is because our socialization educates, conditions and stresses us to produce them. This results in many personal disorders.

 

 

From the moment of birth or before, when the stone-age baby first meets its twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to our long existing forces of outrageous violence to life including its life. By the time the new human being is fifteen or so, we are left with a being like ourselves, a half-crazed creature, more or less adjusted to a mad world. This is normality in our present age.

- R. D. Laing (edited)

 

 

  • The remainder of this self-help web page is important to you because it conveys facts too embarassing for most contemporary institutions to admit or face.
  • Uniquely, this page connects you to an powerful tool, an organic social technology that enables your to benefit from the facts this page conveys.
  • To discover great personal life coach healing opportunities and alternative medicine counselling and recovery benefits you may be missing, simply identify the statements below that are true for you.

 

..TRUE or FALSE ?

We are part of Nature. The deteriorating state of the world shows that our society survives from economic profit and social rewards derived by conquering and exploiting Earth's natural systems within and around us. As we reduce them to "natural resources" the injury we inflict to them produces our personal and environmental troubles.

 

"The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between the way nature works and the way man thinks."

- Gregory Bateson

 

 

Because we are members of a nature conquering culture, normally, most educational and psychology systems reward us, and are in turn rewarded, for teaching us to think and relate in nature-exploitive ways. This injures natural systems within and around us. Because the rewards emotionally or psychologically bond or addict us to our destructive ways, change is very difficult.

 

"The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."

- Albert Einstein Nobel Prize recipient

 

 

It is a form of madness to destroy our own life support system. Most people can, however, learn how to stop this form of insanity.

 

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

- R. D. Laing (1989)

 

 

There is now a sensory, organic, nature-connected, learning process that enables you to transform the destructive conditioning and effects of present day thinking and acting into constructive relationships.

 

"The Educating, Counseling and Healing With Nature process uniquely empowers people to create authentic, connective, sensory moments in Nature. This genuine contact of our psyche with its origins in nature's renewing powers enables us to realign our unreasonable bonds to destructive relationships. We reap benefits and rewards as we let natural systems compost and recycle our hurtful bonds and addictions into cooperative participation."

- M. B. Jones.....................

 

 

You, may choose as part of your personal or professional goals to increase the value power and responsibility of your education by mastering a nature connected learning process. You may reduce your present tuition costs, if any, in the process.

 

"Biophilia is our inborn, emotional affiliation to other living organisms. It is a powerful form of reasoning that looks at the very roots of motivation and helps us understand why we cherish and protect life"

Edward O. Wilson (edited) Pullitzer Prize recipient

 

 

Nature's intelligence, the way nature works, naturally attracts Planet Earth and our mind and body into a healthy, purifying, balance. Unadulterated natural systems seldom, if ever, produce our garbage, pollution, stress, mental illness or war. Nature rarely displays loneliness, abusiveness, or excessive violence. As part of nature, we inherit its peaceful intelligence in our senses and sensibility. To our loss and cost, our society does not require that we learn how to nurture and think with this intelligence. Rather, our historic tendency is to abuse, assault and conquer it; our greatest troubles result.

 

"Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the action of people."

- Albert Einstein

 

 

Learning how to implement and enjoy the responsible rewards of your natural intelligence is a vital but missing element in most Education curriculums. This web site presents you with the opportunity to learn how to produce the remarkable benefits of thinking with nature as a resilient component of your personal and professional life. If you are a nature lover, this web site helps you more fully use and enjoy the rewards of that powerful love in your profession and personal life.

 

The human need for nature is linked not just to the material exploitation of the environment but also to the influence of the natural world on our emotional, cognitive, aesthetic, and even spiritual development.

- Edward O. Wilson

 

 

You can graduate from any school with the Educating, Counseling and Healing With Nature certificate (seen below) as a part of your diploma that opens many doors for you and that may be used as part of high school, undergraduate, graduate or post doctoral education.

 

"Until mankind can extend the circle of his compassion to include all living things, he will never, himself, know peace."

- Albert Schweitzer Nobel Prize recipient
