OP Track Procedures
The Organic Psychology Track:
A Degree or Certificate Program
A Natural Attraction Ecology Learning Program for the Natural System Thinking Process at Project NatureConnect.
"The Organic Psychology Track" degree or eight-month certificate program is completed by adding Organic Psychology to an applicant's previously learned attitudes, interests, skills, training or life experience in any discipline or appropriate situation. It often incorporates four thousand hours (24 months) of appropriate holistic experience or learning that has already occurred and where the applicant has achieved a strong level of expertise or desire. It is equivalent to replacing up to sixteen hours of graduate courses or two years of undergraduate work. This makes it radically inexpensive.
Since Organic Psychology can be added to any area of endeavor and increase its value, including the areas below, the certificate or degree is in the practice of Organic Psychology as an Applied Ecopsychology. You can apply it as a counselor teacher, parent or salesperson; union leader, farmer, woodcarver or kite flyer, or with an appropriate combination of your unique skills.
SUGGESTION: Save time and be complete. Call us. Tell us about yourself and what you are looking for or seek to accomplish. We will immediately determine if you qualify for the Organic Psychology Track and help you find the quickest and least expensive means to achieve your goals. 360-378-6313

Introduction to the Institute of Global Education
Educating Counseling and Healing With Nature
Nature maintains its perfection because everything in nature supports the whole of nature and its integrity. We are a part of nature that suffers unique troubles because our mind, body and spirit live and think while excessively separated from nature and our supportive origins there.
The purpose of Organic Psychology is to help our mentality increase our intelligence and personal, social and environmental well-being by thinking within the restorative, health-sustaining laws and systems that exist in nature. This enables us to reduce our destructive impact on natural systems that support us and the environment.
Organic Psychology (OP) is achieved by learning to use an Applied Ecopsychology tool known as the Natural System Thinking Process (NSTP). Its Natural Attraction Ecology helps us enjoy a psychological aspect of learning whose rewards and effects simultaneously benefit nature's regenerative ways in people and in natural areas.As described in the introduction to the Journal of Organic Psychology, Organic Psychology empowers us to add Organic Consciousness Moments (OCM) to our thoughts feelings and relationships on personal and professional levels. OCM genuinely connect our thinking and acts with the balanced intelligence and love in nature's renewing perfection. This organically helps us guide our mind and relationships in any situation we choose to apply it. It empowers our thinking to recycle pollutants or compost garbage in our psyche that make us produce or accept our troubles.
The Organic Psychology (OP) degree or certificate is attained by adding OP to an applicant's previously learned skills, training or life experience. The applicant simply identifies and accurately labels their area(s) of skill or competence. Then, within the applicant's financial ability, the OP track, in as little as ten months, trains the applicant, online, to add OP to their expertise and strengthen it organically.
To their advantage, an Institute of Global Education Certificate or B.S. M.S. or Ph.D, degree in Applied Ecopsychology or Organic Psychology from Akamai University or West Coast University certifies the Degree achievement.
Equivalent courses or training may substitute for a project or thesis on the B.S. and M.S. level. A project in lieus of dissertation is required for the Doctorate.
To enter the program simply follow the general instructions for enrollment and participation. The Application Form is used to enter the Organic Psychology Track by checking the OP option where it appears on the form.
