Mike Cohen, Ph.D created Project NatureConnect to offer people a way to realize their connections, not only to each other, but to the Natural world.
Project NatureConnect is a 501 c (3) nonprofit with an innovative online educational program offering regionally accredited courses in Applied Ecopsychology. The program focuses on the application of the Natural Systems Thinking Process, a method for psychologically reconnecting with nature's ability to support and restore our wellbeing. It's foundation is the science of Natural Attraction Ecology which was developed by Project NatureConnect founder Michael J. Cohen, PhD.
Dr. Cohen has worked for over 50 years to bring nature's gifts to the general public. His previous program, Trailside, was called "The most revolutionary school in America". Dr. Cohen has been called "a maverick genius".
The innovative school uses an experiential model in which participants not only learn directly from experiences in nature, but practice functioning as a members of a self-organizing Natural System in all aspects of the organization.
The pioneering mission of Project NatureConnect is to help humanity's thoughts and feelings beneficially tap into nature's renewing natural attraction love that flows in, around and through us. This mind-recycling process gives us the ability to strengthen nature's purifying and healing power in ourselves and others through natural sensory connections in natural areas.
