"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."
"Our task must be
to free ourselves from (our) prison by widening our circles of
compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature
in its beauty."
- Albert Einstein

"We dramatically
increased our program's effectiveness by adding the Natural Systems
Thinking Process to it. It enables our participants to connect
with their sensory origins in nature and use that peaceful power
to improve their relationships with self, society and the environment.

NSTP SYNOPSIS:
Educating and Counseling with Nature
Project NatureConnect's Natural Systems Thinking Process (NSTP)
is a sensory science used by environmentally caring counselors,
teachers, and students; physicians, ministers and non-professionals.
 It consists of 127 teachable nature
connecting ecopsychology activities along with books, articles
and courses that explain how and why the activities work.
NSTP empowers a person to make conscious sensory contact with
nature's intelligence, balance and beauty and incorporate it
in their thinking. This therapeutically nurtures our 53 (not
just five) inherent natural senses. They energize and increasingly
remain in our awareness. People enjoy them and bond with them.
They help people think sensitively, in more balanced, responsible
ways, as nature intended.
NSTP enables practioners to safely reduce stress and increase
self-esteem, wellness and spirit. It feelingly helps build supportive
relationships with self, society and the environment, and teach
others to do the same.

"The Natural Systems
Thinking Process provides a readily accessible ....and.wonderfully
effective means for students to acquire, understand, and act
upon the transforming experience of being connected to nature;
of being in respectful relationship with the natural world of
which they are a part."

IMPLEMENTATION:
Do you want to help produce personal, social and environmental
wellness? Of what use is this important
goal if you don't have a process that enables you to implement
it?
When you separate any organism from
its natural environment, it acts abnormally. In our nature-disconnected
society 99.9% of our thinking is separated from nature.
Our greatest troubles result from the
psychological estrangement of our psyche from nature's balanced
intelligence. Contemporary problems seldom exist in natural systems
or nature-connected people.
NSTP is a unique sensory science, an
Applied Ecopsychology process that enables people to reconnect
their thinking to nature's supportive ways. This helps us build
responsible relationships at every level of endeavor.

"Our
disconnection from nature produces an unseen but discomforting,
"ecozombie" void in our psyche and spirit. We feel
unfulfilled, hurt and isolated. This subconscious wanting too
often draws us into destructive relationships.
Unique sensory activities
that help us reconnect our psyche with its nurturing origins
in nature enable us to sensibly fill our sensory void. They empower
us to think clearly, to enjoy peaceful personal and environmental
responsibility."

Institute of Global Education,
Integrated Ecology Department

"Dr. Cohen's compelling application
of ecopsychology connects uswith the often ignored source of
spirit and wellness found in nature. His deeply felt chapters
catalyze conscious sensory contacts with the natural world and
bind us to energies that heal our deeper being."

* ABOUT BIOPHILIA:
According to Pulitzer-Prize winning sociobiologist Edward
O. Wilson, Ph.D., of Harvard, people have an inherent biological
need to be in contact with the out-of-doors. He calls it "biophilia",
and believes that nature may hold the key to our aesthetic, intellectual,
cognitive, and even spiritual satisfaction. Wilson has found
much evidence for our basic affinity for nature and its instructive
and healing properties.
The noted authors and scientific thinkers below, along with
many others, have recognized the biophilia value of educating
and counseling with Nature:
