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 loved every topic covered in this Permaculture Design Course. It is raw, real, and to the point. It highlights everything wrong and everything good in the world. The audio files are great for listening while driving or working, and the questions at the end of each module help the information to set in. Now it's time to practice and apply what I learned to make a healthier community, and planet.
More indepth than I anticipated with a lot of great information. The audio option was super helpful. Some sections went overlong in sheer volume of words but overall, I enjoyed the learning provided. Good job!
Once I finished the course, I understood, possibly disagree with certain quasi-political influences, I had many things to back me up, my philosophy was "us against them". Now I can see clearly, I can definetly see that community would be essential in not only surviving, but thriving. I was angry at times, being a third generation oilpatch professional. There are also, though, many inaccuracies, or otherwise bold, inaccurate statements, especially about how agriculture uses so much fuel. We are growing food for the world. our tractor gets better fuel economy than my car. And a baler usually has no motor on its own. It is being powered by the same motor propelling the tractor, using a PTO shaft to transfer energy. I just found the whole thing very one-sided politically and theoretically. Otherwise, I definetly gleaned information from this and i did learn many things. the cob house intrigues me. I am already planning my herb spiral for the spring and will be looking for heirloom varieties of my garden seed this year.
This sounds like an AI voice which makes it difficult to understand the content at times. Like the tone/emphasis is off, words are mispronounced like mantra.
I feel as though the course pilled to much information into it. I feel many of the things I learned did not correspond with forest therapy. The short response questions and expecting people to remember many names of plants and people doesn't support many peoples learning styles. I enjoyed learning about these things however I do feel this course should be revised.
