Hi, TOK,
If you are interested in nature connection (needed to help humanity stop
destroying the ecologies of the planet), here are two opportunities.
1. My students and I have just published an experiment in Ecopsychology
that might interest the list (abstract below):
Indigenous Nature Connection: A 3-Week Intervention Increased Ecological
Attachment <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.liebertpub.com_doi_10.1089_eco.2019.0038&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=FDOJRveZhnh3eHvEYO-6zYwB3hhjeWGuzglCBE1YgXM&s=9tmCKLITgIDWOsJqX2MmK8s9FjM1206Nb_cO0oc9Le8&e= > There is
another week of free access to the article:

I can also send a copy to anyone interested.
2. Here is a chance to practice nature connection (alone or with others)
for 28 days of brief daily practice inspired by the successful experiment.
See: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ecoattachment.dance&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=FDOJRveZhnh3eHvEYO-6zYwB3hhjeWGuzglCBE1YgXM&s=eFKpVT4L_E82TGqFZkt5O1spN5T2tGpIcSYbnRDe0KM&e=
*Why should we renew our nature connection? *We live in a time when human
actions are devastating earth systems in multiple ways, from acidification
of oceans decreasing its wildlife, to poisoned drinking water from
industrial interests, to fossil fuel warming of the atmosphere. We are
moving quickly toward a “hothouse” earth in which weather patterns will be
extreme and unpredictable, with droughts, floods and pandemics routine
events. We’ve known for decades that this time would come if we did not
change our habits. *Knowing* about our destruction has not been enough. Do
we care?
It’s our hearts that must be changed. To care *for* Nature in the right
way, we must care *about* it. To change our behavior, we must learn to feel
connected to the wellbeing of the natural world around us, like our
ancestors before us. We must feel our connection to the earth to change our
actions towards respectful caring.

Published study abstract:
Humanity as a species has spent most of its existence moving with instead
of against nature as found among Indigenous or First Nation communities
traditionally. Yet most members of modern societies feel disconnected from
nature, which is attributed to a lack of connection and respect toward the
more than human. We developed assessment tools for ecological attachment
from an Indigenous perspective, validating measures (n = 695) of ecological
empathy (feeling concern for more-than-human entities), ecological
mindfulness (mindful attitudes and behaviors toward living things), and
green action (conservation behaviors). Then we conducted a 3-week
behavioral intervention with university students (n = 47) with two
conditions expected to increase ecological mindfulness: (1) Indigenous
ecological attachment (e.g., acknowledge the trees you pass today) by which
ecological empathy was expected to increase; (2) conservation behaviors
(e.g., turning off lights) by which green action was expected to increase.
In session one, participants completed key measures, read texts related to
their condition (facts, a poem, and an essay), and selected
condition-relevant actions to draw from and perform in the following 3
weeks (one selected per day). In session two, measures were retaken. In
comparison with a control group, MANOVA revealed that hypotheses were
supported: Only the ecological attachment group increased on ecological
empathy, only the conservation group significantly increased on green
actions, and both intervention groups increased on ecological mindfulness.
Thanks,
