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.
I learned so much by taking this course. It provided me with a wealth of information about forest therapy and how to apply it to enhance the experience of my clients in their pursuit for health and well-being.
I have so many good things to say about this course thus far. It is packed with straight forward information sourced from studies. There is no nonsense or fluff present.
I love that I was able to listen to the audio at a speed that was right for me while I read along. I used the notes to help me reinforce concepts that were a bit more complex. The exercises made it possible for me to connect to each concept. The quizzes were relevant to each module. Overall, it was an awesome experience.
Really enjoyed learning about different regions. I have learned about some plants and vegetation and the properties they hold which I did not know before.
I work in the outdoor environment and much of what I have learnt before this was personal practical and research. It is nice to know I'm on the right track.
Many thanks.
It's informational. Some of the questions on the quizzes have errors. quiz 7 i think had same answer for two types of gaits. but overall course is ok. basic but good to know.
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.
