Alosha Lynov is a Bio-Architect who combines the principles of Earthships, the vision of Antoni Gaudí, and the elegance of Sacred Geometry to create autonomous Living BioShelter Organisms—self-heating, self-cooling, and self-sustaining structures. He founded Bio-Veda Academy of Bio-Architecture for the purpose of educating and empowering people to design and build their own eco-homes. To date, the academy has provided hands-on video courses in ecological construction and water self-sufficiency to more than 3,500 students worldwide. With over 25 years of experience, Alosha has dedicated his career to integrating biomimicry, permaculture, and sustainable technologies into architecture. His unique approach emphasizes biomimetic forms and systems that are structurally stronger, more cost-effective, and more harmonious with natural landscapes than conventional building methods. Alosha’s path began in the late 1990s, initially working with spandex sculptures for event design. In 2007, he trained in Mexico at a flying concrete workshop, where he mastered the creation of Gaudí-inspired ferrocement shells. He later applied this knowledge to his own land, building a 700 sq. ft. seashell-inspired structure and developing a fully self-sufficient ecosystem. His work has taken him across five continents, where he has studied with global experts and taught workshops in BioTecture, permaculture, and water self-sufficiency. Today, his focus remains on developing and teaching innovative building techniques that enable individuals and communities to live sustainably and resiliently.
I'm very happy with training I received.
I have just completed the course and it was excellent. The material was thorough and informative, and I enjoyed being able to work at my own pace. I feel well-equipped to embark on my journey as a sylvotherapy practitioner.
The Sylvotherapy course was OK, but could use a number of improvements to make it better. There was a lot of detail on certain tree and plant species, but they covered species from throughout the world. Since I live in a temperate zone in North America, many of these species do not grow here and are not relevant to my area. The chapters, like chapter 7, was almost entirely about different tree species and had little other content. The course was weak on how to actually run a sylvotherapy session. Chapter 4 had some information on this, but it seemed to be lacking. If there was certain instructional videos rather then the text and audio, the content would be much better explained. Some of the exercises were not clear the way they were presented. Sorry, but this course was a disappointing.
Thank you very much.
The course was great to learn. With me living in Canada, a lot of the information won't really help me.
Full of great content and encouragement through audio and PDF's. I have been working with plants for over 40 years and I learnt a new way of looking at being in the forest and inside buildings. I would recommend this to anyone working with the natural world and wanting to support others in being in it.
I was really surprised by the amount of scientific information provided in this Forest Bathing certification course! I expected a lot of woo-woo knowledge, but the course was much more scientifically grounded than I anticipated. I feel like I actually learned something valuable! This course gave me a solid foundation for having logical, informed conversations with people about forest bathing and sylvotherapy. I can now discuss the potential benefits in a reasonable, science-based way rather than relying on New Age-y mumbo jumbo. I really appreciate that the course approaches the subject in a way that makes it easier to explain and understand. This is a great course, and I highly recommend it! I believe it's given me a good start to my future career as a Forest Bathing Guide.
This was an interesting course. Much more science backed that I had assumed.
Absolutely loved learning about Sylvotherapy! Can't wait to start practicing!
Excellent course. Very comprehensive. I am excited about what I learned.
I believe this was a truly amazing experience. When I am ready to start my business, I will certainly revisit this course
As already focused on meditation and mindfulness, in nature, this course took it to another level. I especially enjoyed the science associated with mindfulness and forest bathing. Great course!
As a survivalist it was fun to take the course after I have survived a few wilderness experiences this was a great through course
this course was a great introduction to herbalism and gives you a foundation to build off of
I have loved every detail of this course and how it aligns with the benefits of natures benefits. The evidence is based both on science and spirituality, I want everyone I meet to feel about nature the way I do, I love being outside or close to my indoor plants, without them I would feel very lonely. Now I understand why and I want to share this with others.
I was apprehensive at first because it seems like every forum, blog and website has the same handful of herbs and information. Then, during this course, I discovered a few plants I had not heard of before. There were also many herbs I have heard of and used but there were a few properties that I was unaware of. I am very pleased with the knowledge I obtained with this course and will be using it to better my practice and understanding of herbalism as a whole.
