We will be launching specialized courses in the future that are specific to commercial spaces, offices, and other types of spaces, regardless of the areas in which you want to specialize further. It is recommended that you attend this training first so that you are familiar with the basic principles that will be built upon in subsequent courses. 

This course uniquely blends Well-being and Biophilic Design principles with personalized mentoring, practical assignments, and a focus on creating spaces that nurture both the occupants and the environment. We utilize specific and innovative didactic models, including Fieldsurfing, to ensure that trainees not only learn the course material but also deeply embrace it. This approach allows you to learn by doing, sensing, and feeling the transformative impact of creating such a project, making the learning process both effective and immersive. On top of that we share the tools and workflows as used by Habitarmonia consultants to design award-winning projects that make happy and returning clients.

You will be working on a personal project that applies the principles of Well-being and Biophilic Design to a residential or a resimercial space. It is very much recommended that you work with your own home so you can experience the impact in person, and so embody the principles of Well-being and Biophilic Design. If you don’t have a home of your own to work on, you should find a client, customer, or friend’s home where you can apply these principles. The project will evolve throughout the course, incorporating the knowledge and techniques you learn each week.

The 12-weeks group training starts with a private one-on-one intake session followed by 12 mentoring sessions that are conducted in small groups. This allows for personalized feedback on your specific projects. The small group format ensures that each participant receives focused attention and guidance.  If you miss a group mentoring session, you can catch up by watching the recordings. However, consistent participation is crucial, and we require a minimum of 70% attendance. If you expect to miss too many sessions, you can start with the self-paced course or already sign up for the next cohort.
