Hobbit Vault Course
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.

Final opinion
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.

Sylvotherapy- Forest Therapy
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.

My thoughts
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.

Pleased with the content
I have extensive knowledge of wilderness survival in my own area, however, learning about the Arctic and Jungle people gave me the interest to pursue learning more about the different climates and areas unknown to me. Honestly, the first module I found uninteresting and struggled to pay attention to it as it seemed frivolous and did not encourage me to continue. I powered through, though, and was much relieved to find more tangible content from there on out. on the whole it was very informative and I loved doing the practical assignments. I have never made char cloth or used a bowdrill or friction method before!

Module 3
a very thorough approach of sylvotherapy including scientific and cultural info. Could be more science base for more credibility of the practice. Forest profiles and cultures vary around the globe so it would be interesting to get module divided in different zones

So far so good!
Overall it's a great course! My favorite is learning about negative ions so far. I was a uncomfortable with the chakra and meridian practice, and the concentrated time spent on these. I think someone who is a long term practitioner of this work is the best person to teach. It's also hard to grasp and believe via this online asyncronous format.
