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.
Very engaging and very relevant for my work!
The information so far has been very good. The audio recordings, however do you have a hard time pronouncing certain words and names right.. If someone were to only listen and not read the pages as well, they might not understand everything correctly.
Looking good so far
Only missing real human connection.
This course offered a wonderful introduction to sylvotherapy and the healing dynamics of time spent in the forest. The lessons were accessible, engaging, and rooted in a genuine appreciation for the natural world. I enjoyed learning about tree symbolism, why we’re drawn to certain trees, the aromatherapy components, and the brief examples of plants used in indoor sessions. The explanations of concepts like phytoncides and negative ions made the material feel alive and grounded. That said, there’s room for growth. Forest ecosystems are vast, interconnected worlds, and a deeper look into additional facets — medicinal plants, forest herbs, insect interactions, soil ecology, and the broader web of woodland life — would enrich the curriculum immeasurably. These areas are essential to understanding the full story of how forest environments support health and balance. Overall, it’s a strong foundation with room to expand into the deeper wisdom the forest has to offer.
Honestly not what I expected. This is my first herbalism course so I have nothing to compare it too. I can not give five stars because I feel at times some stuff was brushed over and I had to do a bit of research on my own to gain a full understanding. Overall, very decent espec
Since I switched to audio, I like it better. Some of the questions are a bit obscure to me. I recently completed a mindful certificate program so I do have answers from my experience. I believe I will re-listen to the audio as I want to absorb all of the info.
As a newly certified sylvotherapist and someone coming from a professional background outside traditional wellness, I found this course both enlightening and rewarding. It does an excellent job of grounding forest bathing in science and explaining the physiological and psychological benefits of spending time in nature. The modules on forest chemistry and sensory activation were especially valuable and will continue to inform my own nature-based practice. Overall, the course provides a strong foundation for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of the forest’s healing power. I am grateful for what I learned and look forward to applying these principles in my own work with authenticity and respect.
The course was quite thorough and enlightening.
It’s a great overview.
I wish there was more content relevant to North America and the tips that therapists could consider from a decolonized perspective.
easy to follow
Very good experience thanks to the notions I pumped into. The practice with other members and interaction about the studied object to conduct sessions would be a surplus. Thanks
This was a great intro course to Sylvotherapy with a lot of tools and exercises that can be used right away to offer Sylvotherapy to friends, family, and to start a career in the field. There is a lot of reading and so if you are more of a visual person then this may be a bit of a challenge. However, as you can complete it at your own pace, it is still a really great first step!
Good all round course with lots of additional, coursework,
Some of the information in Module 10 regarding social media could be updated some.
