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.
Good background into forest therapy and its importance
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 Overall impression A thoughtful, well structured program that blends somatic practice, reflective psychology, and ocean based regulation into a coherent framework. The course is strongest when it translates concepts into simple repeatable exercises. It is weaker where it makes medical adjacent claims without enough sourcing, boundaries, and safety scaffolding. Strengths Strong therapeutic logic and pacing The course consistently emphasizes regulation first, then meaning making. It encourages gradual exposure, sensory grounding, and practical rituals that clients can sustain. High quality content on grief and emotional holding The grief focused material is mature and respectful. It supports presence, pacing, and non intrusion rather than forcing catharsis, which fits ocean work well. Good integration and transfer to daily life It does not keep the benefits locked to the shoreline. The course offers ways to anchor “Blue Mind” states through memory cues, micro rituals, and home based practice. Practitioner focus It reads like training for facilitators, not just inspiration. The reflections and prompts help you think clinically about what you are doing and why. Weaknesses Medical adjacent claims need tighter evidence framing Some thalassotherapy and physiology related statements sound more certain than the evidence typically allows. Clearer sourcing, contraindications, and “not medical advice” boundaries would strengthen trust and safety. Safety protocols should be more explicit and standardized Because real ocean contact is involved, the course would benefit from clearer checklists and decision trees. Examples include cold exposure screening, panic responses, surf and rip current awareness, and referral guidance. More plug and play facilitation tools would help beginners The poetic tone is often beautiful, but sometimes reduces operational clarity. More session templates, timing guidance, sample scripts, and troubleshooting would make delivery easier. Who it is best for Coaches and practitioners who already value somatic methods, nature based regulation, and reflective facilitation, and who want a deeper conceptual foundation with usable practices. Final verdict A compelling and often excellent course with real therapeutic value. With stronger safety structure and clearer evidence framing for medical adjacent claims, it could move from very good to outstanding.
Good
I was not expecting the modules to be as text and quiz based as they are but by structuring my time with the activities and complementing with external research and media I am finding the right pace to work through the sections.
As title states, this is exactly what I was looking for in terms of knowledge base, but if I could see the same info with slightly more user involvement, I think it would help keep me focused where I might find my mind wandering.
Good!
A lot of information.
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.
Really great, loved it, only missed the actual connection to real humans.
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.
