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.
While informative, there were a number of concerning errors or misleading statements which I felt took away from the authenticity of the training. Overstating and overselling are not necessary when there are so many legitimate studies and proven benefits to discuss.
I expected it to be deeper into every detail. This was more a "scratch on the surface" and an easy to grasp introduction.
And with that mind set it worked well.
This course was good - my only criticism is that it could have included more of a focus on activities to run in group sessions - there was lost of theory but it was a little lite on practicality in my opinion.
I was able to figure out how to complete the course but it would be fantastic if there was a tutorial video or a welcome to the platform how to use video.
Lots of reading, not interactive and so far no handouts or tools to use. Some good information as far as structuring time and using all senses, but as a certified and trained herbalist, found that the information on edible and medicinal plants and trees was a lot and somewhat dangerous for an untrained person. Lack of information on a tea ceremony, like what do you actually need for that? How do you keep the water warm, or do you do a cold infusion?
The audio won't stay on once my phone goes off and then it keeps starting from the beginning its very annoying. I've spent so much time resetting it and then listening to same stuff over again
It's a textbook that you read - pdfs. That's it.
I thought it would be laid out as eLearning with handson/engaging materials, so I was disappointed not only from a learner's perspective, but also from an accessibility perspective.
