Alma Oasis was created in 2023, brought to life from the shared vision of two individuals captivated by the beauty and mystery of daily life but also by the climate problems and unmet solutions in our society. Our vision is to inspire the environmentally curious and encourage change in individual behaviors to have a positive impact on the earth, however large or small.
‘Alma’ means the soul, reflecting the essence of our being and ‘Oasis’ signifies a flourishing ecosystem in an otherwise arid world. Together, Alma Oasis represents the harmonious coexistence of the human spirit and nature, a place where individuals learn to thrive on a constantly evolving planet.
I am a mental health clinician who wanted to really dig into ways that nature influences therapeutic interventions. This class was really helpful for me to learn good ways to articulate this. I will use what I learned going forward and hope to offer sylvotherapy in the future. It was much more robust than I anticipated and love how well put together the class was.
Lots a good information for plant references, but not what I was expecting. I expected more information/guidance on setting up and delivering a forest therapy session.
The Wilderness Survival Instructor online course was informative and well-structured. It covered essential survival skills, from shelter-building and water sourcing to emergency first aid and navigation, with clear, step-by-step guidance. Whether you are new to wilderness survival or looking to refine your skills for teaching others, this course is a great investment. Highly recommended!
It's my feeling that anyone could skip through much of the course work and still achieve the same result. There is a great deal of information, research and reference materials, all of which are easy to access, easy to save and useful. However, I find the format of try, try, try again with multiple choice answers for assessment, means it is up to you to decide how thoroughly you want to learn your subject. I am a qualified forest school leader and beach school leader already, so for me, it was very important to immerse myself in further knowledge, so that I can confidently offer this as a service, but for some, it would be an easy way to gain a qualification, without actually learning the material.
