Well built and informative
Course was great, and went in depth into just the right areas of importance. Would have been nice to have a little more focus on North American trees and plants, but it was still very informative.

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.

Gained new knowledge re: the scientific facts n benefits about trees and plants and history . Learned the difference between hiking in the forest and forest bathing. More aware of environmental pollutants and their harmful effects . And the effects of different trees .
I am concerned with participants unfamiliar with plants, foraging for culinary Sylvotherapy. Providing them with the detailed information needed to do this safely seems that it would interrupt the peaceful therapeutic aspects of the experience.
Lots of information so far I find quite difficult to assimilate as the presentation is too detailed with dates and facts. I really enjoyed the description of the different trees and how they have been used by people since ancient times
The concepts are basic and I hope for more depth in the later modules
Good course, some of the content not relatable to my region (non-native tree and plant species). Minor complaint about speed of screen changes - sometimes, I thought the site was frozen, but it was only doing a refresh for the next screen.
Until now, I find all the information very interesting and usufull. Looking forward to learn more !
I am excited to keep seeing what the program has to offer
The course has been quite detailed for its intended purpose, I am happy with it.
This course is decent, but I would have liked if it had more examples of sessions, scripts etc.
I found this to be a fascinating and comprehensive presentation of the information. As a mental health counsellor who is expanding into eco-therapeutic services, this course has helped to round out my knowledge and ability to provide meaningful benefits for my clients' mental and physical health through intentional engagement with forest environments, a variety of plants and associated elements with therapeutic potential.
Thank you for including such a diverse program, with information around spirituality, engaging all the senses, the science behind some of the benefits to sylvotherapy, etc. It would be helpful to have a couple videos throughout some of the Modules, just as another visual way to take in all the great informationa and content.
