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.
Very interesting material. I enjoyed the course, although more examples of plants and trees from other parts of the world are needed. It would be very helpful that the certificate includes the approximate number of hours or credits.
There is a great deal of information about the history and science behind Sylvotherapy, which is interesting but not essential for me but I am only half way through and I have learned a lot about Sylvotherapy sessions and so looking forward to learning more.
This course was very informative and thorough. It may be beneficial to add video here and there to keep attention. I think some pronunciations were incorrect in the audio, but it did not take away from the information.
There is quite a bit of good useful information so far and I am learning valuable tips and tricks. Being a visual learner, it would nice to have more photos or even short videos showing examples of the text. The background information/history is interesting, yet I don't believe that it is an asset that should be part of the quizzes.
I really like learning about the beneficial qualities of many trees, plants, herbs and essential oils. I'd like to see an outline of what a typical class might look like.
I like the way the course is set up with the module reading and the audio file along side. However, it would be helpful to be able to pick up the audio midway if the whole module is not studied in one session. This is not a big issue, just a useful feature.
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.
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.
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
