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 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!
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, I am learning so much about plants, trees, and nature as it relates to us physically and emotionally. I am truly enjoying this learning experience!
I am learning that I really did not know the impact of unhealthy environments until I took this course. There is so much to learn and so much material in just Modules 1-3. I am excited to continue....
A comprehensive and thorough guide to the subject. I would have appreciated links to the studies cited, and that would have made the course more scientifically reliable. Some of the questions in the quiz section were a bit ambiguous, but this did not impede instruction. LOTS of resources provided in the course itself. Thank you for an enjoyable and educational experience.
