ur students come from all over the world, and from a broad range of backgrounds with diverse career goals. The program is aimed at students interested in educating, counseling or healing work, but Ecopsychology and The Natural Systems Thinking Process can be applied to any endeavor. Sensory restoration enhances well-being and social adaptation at every level, so students discover that the experiential learning is a personal healing process, and their growth as a member of the community involves learning that they will apply in every aspect of their lives, both professional and personal.

Following are links to video interviews with four advanced NatureConnect graduate students: an educator, a professional counselor, a grief coach, and a personal development practitioner.

The program is a comprehensive study in nature’s ways of creating strong, peaceful, healthy relationships. It explores how nature teaches by imparting knowledge “to the bone” through direct sensory perception. It teaches a simple, effective method for creating moments that let Earth teach, and for reclaiming our birthright as receivers of nature’s restorative gifts. Students come from all walks of life and go out into the world, all over the world, to “be the change” they wish to see in the world.Some integrate the webstring model and the Natural Systems Thinking Process into an existing career. Some follow their attractions and build a career organically, as the NatureConnect activities strengthen their ability to grow a life they feel truly happy and fulfilled by. Some people use the program as a personal development tool and go on to either deepen their own practice, or begin teaching others. Some develop services as a Nature-Centered educator, mentor or guide, offering classes, workshops and retreats to the general public.
