Making peace with Nature, around, in and as us, is the defining task of the 21st century.
This page rewards those who want to learn and teach therapeutic nature-reconnecting activities.
Help increase the joy of person/planet wellness by making peace with Nature. It provides a remedy for how we educate and counsel ourselves to create today’s growing catastrophe and “Earth Overshoot.”
Hello and welcome. I’m Mike Cohen, the founder of Project NatureConnect’s eco-arts science.
In 1965, while backpacking in the Grand Canyon Wilderness, I had a reasonable need to ask, “What’s the difference between your life and mine?
The truth of that question became apparent, I could speak, and it couldn’t.
Accidently, I had created and learned from the moment I let Nature teach. The truth of its essence had touched mine.
Your turn. Be scientific. Ask any part of a natural area the same question. Note that it can’t speak, read or write; it’s dumb.
Nature’s life is missing the 3 R’s we enjoy, putting it at significant risk, agony, and disadvantages to our excessively conquering stories and acts.
By 1974 we hurtfully ‘bankrupted’ our planet’s life into being resource-deficient and increasingly non-recuperative.
Today Earth’s life is increasingly in debt because we don’t add Natureness, the scientific essence of our soul, to our education and counseling procedures.
Since 1974, because our society too often abuses our Natureness (natural essence), our undeclared prejudice and war against Nature have injuriously produced a 52% loss of wildlife and a 45% increase in climates that create mental illness, obesity, climate change, oceanic oxygen depletion, loneliness, atmospheric carbon, mass shootings, and excessive stress.
The war’s trauma has painfully increased corruption, child abuse, unhappiness, mistrust, unfairness, expensive health care, political and economic extremes, destructive cravings, dependencies, addictions, and many other disorders.
Earth and Humanity in 2022 A.D. are bankrupt. We have lost 75% of our natural ability to recover from this assault.
We need to hook up with another planet more than half the size of Earth to replenish what we deplete each year. But unfortunately, nobody knows where that planet is located or how to connect with it.
Adding Natureness to the essence of any activity or relationship by 850% improves it as it helps stop the war.
Over the past 57 years, I have created and applied ‘Natureness’ as a hands-on tool that lets Nature’s life speak and teach its 54-sense, Big Bang truth to anyone, as it did with me in the Grand Canyon.
For example, since everything happens at once in the continual growth of our space-time Universe, All things are registering this singular sentence: “It is an undeniable Truth that you are reading these words here and now.”
I’ve applied this Natureness fact to any situation.
“If the answer is simple, God is speaking.”
— Albert Einstein
“Natureness, hands-on, in natural areas, backyard, or backcountry, helps us unify and heal the broken world our excessively nature-disconnected stories and acts have created. Here, in words, are what decades of my Natureness have taught, still teach me, and can teach you to teach others.”
—Dr. Michael J. Cohen
Nature is Wordless
Since forever, Nature is its wordless attraction (love) to begin the life of earth/universe/us.
The life of Nature, Earth, and Humanity is identical for the totality of life.
- Nature is life without word stories.
- Humanity is Nature with word stories.
- When our word-story distortions stressfully disconnect us from the essence of Nature’s wordless love-to-begin-life (Natureness), Nature and we suffer painful ecocide deterioration from the “Earth Misery” we create.
- This depreciation is the fundamental problem that Psychology studies.
Psychology has yet to acknowledge its source that our words excessively disconnect us from Nature’s balanced and beautiful love to grow life around, in, and as us.
