“Our suicidal war with nature makes us face devastating new heights of global warming and species extinction along with new polarizing lows of mental health, ecological degradation and personal well-being. To put it simply, the state of the planet is broken. Today’s defining task is to flick the green switch that makes peace and wellness.”
– Antonio Gutteres, United Nations Secretary General (edited)
“I went to a natural area I was attracted to and asked permission to 54-sense unify with it. I asked what my Natureness is at this time and had a pristine truth experience of nature embracing me in the present, and also feeling as if I were in the ‘past’ at the same time, back to the teenager that would flee to nature when things got really tough. I was a teen, and I was the me now, simultaneously. I felt safety and well-being. I realized we are timeless as is nature. Nature stands for us day and night, over eons. Nature is there for us consistently; it never abandons us. My sense of belonging was attracted to this, as were my senses of safety, peace, nurturing, attachment, and my own truth.”
– Natureness Participant’s Journal
“For the past 38 years Project NatureConnect has researched and offered diverse pristine truth forms of Natureness, Nature’s self-correcting essence, as a unique climate therapy tool. Anybody can incorporate it and green switch to restore our broken world and personal life.”
– Michael J. Cohen, Founder

THE SURVEY In 1990, Dr. Jan Goldfield, a retired psychologist, helped survey adults in a variety of occupations, who, during the previous three years, had learned Project NatureConnect’s Educating, Counseling and Healing with Nature and its pristine truth Natureness activities by completing a 30 day internet course. The findings show ECHN to be an effective vehicle for catalyzing personal and global unity. They affirm and extend the findings of other studies and educational programs that were added to the survey. You can see it at www.ecopsych.com/survey.html and in the book The Web of Life Imperative.

Overview of PNC Benefits
in our Big Bang Spacetime Universe it is beneficial to recognize that since forever, as this instant, Nature’s life is attracted (loves) to wordlessly begin and grow life in peace, including your life, moment by moment.
Nature’s love to survive is the essence of all things, especially the parts of us that value it.
A natural area’s attraction to live is the art and source of Project NatureConnect’s scientific attitude, methods and materials. We call that essence “Pristine Truth” and, bemefically, we apply it to unite with nature’s essence in everything, including ourselves.
Pristine Truth works because it recognizes that (1) if Nature died, we would die, so it must be alive. (2) Nature can’t talk, however, to our advantage, we can speak and, (3) radioactive particles show that Nature continually flows around and through us. Every 1-5 years all of our atoms have been attracted to become the environment and its atoms become us. We are continually growing it, and it us.
Here’s what our Society’s abhorrent war on Nature needs to know because it’s the source of our conflicts and miseries, great or small.
For centuries before 1970, it was the common belief that the Devine created the Universe for humanity and that it operated mechanically, like clockwork. However, by 1970, scientists demonstrated that 13.7 billion years ago, or before then, the Universe/Nature was Big Bang born and, as then, now, moment by moment and simultaneously, all parts of Nature’s life are attracted to grow as one and become the next moment of Nature’s and our survival.
The only part of the world that does not do this is our stories that deny or reject its truth.
This means everything we think, feel or need for our life is also present while we are in conscious sensory contact with Nature, backyard, backcountry or our pets. Note that if we are not conscious of Nature’s unifying energies we can’t reasonably sense or heal with them and stop our war against them.
We help folks support Nature’s love to create life in balance rather than continue to excessively exploit or conquer Nature as it flows around and through us.
Project NatureConnect’s Pristine Truth works because Nature is the wordless fountainhead of authority in how its perfection grows and flows every instant.
Here’s your Pristine Truth in action, “It’s an undeniable fact that you are breathing Nature’s air this instant and that you exist and are alive as you read these words right now, or anytime you do anything else.”
When you do something in conjunction with a natural area, Pristine Truth blends Nature’s essence with your essence. Then, by using your words, Nature can speak and help you think, feel and act with its balance and beauty.
Pristine Truth changes our war against Nature into cooperation with it locally and globally. This enables us to procreate additional cooperative moments.
Because Pristine Truth is free and justifiable, our Society can’t excessively profit from it. That’s why we seldom learn to use, teach or invoke it. This loss makes us suffer our personal and global conflicts.
Our excessive disconnection from Nature’s love makes us feel abandoned fearful or hostile and needing more of everything. That’s what’s isolating us and breaking our world. It’s also what Pristine Truth remedies, moment by moment.
