Course Sequence: The NatureConnect Base Camp Welcome to the Orientation Course NatureConnect Base Camp. This page is for students once they have completed the prerequsite material. This page contains the course "Posting Schedule" AND files in MSWord (green instructions)that you may read online or download and read or print out for you reading convenience. These files are the contents of the book "Natural Systems Thinking Process" ($35.00) that is given free for use on the course to students who have started their degree program applications.
This page contains the course "Posting Schedule." It's at this point that a consensus decision needs to be made only if you find it is not convenient to keep to the default posting schedule of Wednesdays & Sundays from here to course completion in five weeks (see A below). The default schedule is usually best because it offers both adequate time and sustains momentum. It is also quite challenging to have to set up a new schedule by email. If you find this schedule is too fast, use Choice D, posting every five days (seven weeks total). Once a schedule is selected, one of the course members should get the OK to make and submit to the group a schedule of the specific dates ( Month and Day) for the course.
For most people, this course covers new ground and its momentum is important. Otherwise, the experiences get overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. Try and stay within the schedule framework upon which your group agrees. PLEASE inform your group if you will be late with one of your postings . . . don't be a missing ingredient. It causes a great deal of disarray that is often not apparent. Gaining and giving consent is the name of the interact group game. As you will discover, it is also an essence of nature. It does, however, take time and patience when done by email. We usually live discombobulated lives and the internet is sometimes intermittent. Supportively working together from this base came and respecting this program's self-guiding course instructions and each other enables us to produce, as have others, a special niche for ourselves that uniquely supports people and Earth in a balance.
Course Schedule Options
and Completion Times:
Choice A, the default posting twice a week, is usually best for most groups and is automatically used if other options are not proposed. Again note: it is often very time consuming and difficult to arrange other schedules by email so be sure to distribute a date and day schedule for your group once it is determined.
Posting for Schedule A recommended (default)

Nature Connected Education and Counseling Courses and Degrees Online
Too often we suffer and feel helpless because the deterioration of humanity and the environment hurts us and we are unaware of its cause.
Research demonstrates that the stress arising from our extreme sensory separation from our nurturing origins in Nature underlies most of our unsolvable personal, social, and global problems.In a democracy, to reach our hopes and dreams the knowledge we discover must be accompanied by a readily available educational process that motivates and enables the public to apply the knowledge.
With respect to our destructive disconnection from nature, the web page links, below, empower you to use and teach an effective rehabilitating process that will help you improve most settings and relationships.
