Up Cycling
Module
1. How to construct your own wetland for bath and shower water treatment . This will immediately create an additional bulk of water that can be safely used for irrigation of organic vegetables, flowers and herbs, without clogging the soil with soaps and phosphates.
2. How to use grey water that you bathed with yesterday to flush your toilet today.
3. Wetlands of various shapes and sizes made from 3 different low cost, available materials. Two wetland style will be constructed: one with visible water and floating plants and another whereby water travels through the aggregate without any visible water on the surface. Guaranteed - NO SMELL OR MOSQUITOS
4. How to construct a simple trench filled with garden waste so it can passively receive all of your kitchen water after preliminary quick to construct grease trap filter.
5. How to create a sewerage treatment wetland and plant it out with aquatic plants. This wetland will treat all the water from your biogas digester or septic tank safely with out any smell. We also include installation of the biogas digester and priming it for methane production.
Food Machine
Module
1. Construct a food growing machine that will grow you over 100 organic vegetables and herbs on 1.2 square metres of space. It will also produce 15 trays of micro greens, wheat grass and all the seedlings you require, on the unproductive shaded side. The food grower will use up the excess wetland treated grey water and kitchen waste in a central worm bin to provide all the nourishment it requires.
2. Construct a worm tower in the middle of the food growing machine that automatically drips out earthworm tea. This food machine is perfect for tiny spaces such as balconies and patios. The entire food growing machine can be constructed for less than +- $150 in one day, by one person
Getting to full Water Self Sufficiency was not an easy task, as Alosha did not have a detailed road map
Alosha, founder of the Bio Veda Academy and the head instructor for our Constructed Wetland Master Class, acquired his water wisdom over the past decade through extensive experimentation, coupled with hundreds of sketches that planned out elevations and various mock - up Designs.
Through attending a variety of live practical workshops around the world, thousands of hours of experimentation and loads of expensive mistakes, he figured out how to create a Self Sustaining Water Eco System in the tiniest of spaces in the city without tapping into ancient borehole water.
"Bio Veda Academy will inspire you to design your way to Self Regenerative Abundance and practically implement it in your living environment through a series of fun weekend projects suited to variety of budgets and time lines. Our Constructed Wetland Master Class is one of the most advanced and detailed online urban wetland training programs that is currently available on the planet" says Alosha.
This training program has been tested through numerous live workshops, at our Permaculture Academy centre in Johannesburg. Footage from our live workshops coupled with other theory and practical outdoor video tutorials will provide a learning model that is easy to follow and understand.
The comprehensive practical hands-on training you will receive from the Abundance of Water Master Class, is derived from top international experts on holistic water management. Alosha has interviewed and worked with these experts at various live workshops since 2008.
Experts include:
Geoff Lawton - Alosha received his permaculture design certificate through his school.
Mike Reynolds - Alosha studied EarthShip Biotecture with Mike and constructed wetlands and botanical cells which have been perfected for over 45 years.
Josh Kearns - Alosha learnt Bio-Char filtration in Thailand from Aqueous Solutions.
John Todd - has taught Alosha the basics of ecological design , biomimicry and construction of eco living machines.
Thomas Linders - Alosha and Thomas have been brainstorming constructed wetlands for over 7 years. Thomas has been constructing wetlands for over 20 years.
Why Does This Training Deliver Such Incredible Results?
Here Are 6 Reasons why our students see amazing results from the Bio Veda online training
1. Detailed theory prior to any project
Classroom style theory will be presented that is well researched from the top eco literature on the planet . The theory will be condensed to a practical application and important "key messages to take home"
2. Practical step by step video instructions all the way
Detailed camera footage with all possible angles will show you exactly how to execute all the parts of every construction. Our online course replicates live training so you will feel as if you are attending a live workshop
3. Debrief of mistakes and how to avoid them
Within each module mistakes and hiccups are discussed.
Alosha made mistakes which cost him over $20000. You will receive the perfected working models so you can avoid these unnecessary & expensive "bumps".
4. A variety of projects to suit any timeline and budgets
We will teach you how to create 3 types of containers for constructed wetlands as well as two styles of wetlands - Water and gravel based . All of these wetlands practically do the same thing, they take out nutrients and soaps from the water. The constructed wetlands look different when completed based on the budget and time availability.
5. Q & A video recordings after each module
For the duration of 12 months we will take all the questions about each particular module / project and answer them in as much details as possible. Future answers to questions posted by other students will also be available to you for the duration of 10 years in the comments section under each module
6. Go at your own pace with no down time
One of the main frustrations in attending live training is that there is a lot of standing around time whereby students can not participate because of an instructors inability to manage a large number of students or the job at hand only requires 2 hands. We have eliminated this completely by presenting you with the theoretical and practical knowledge you need to know in order to execute a task. You will be able to watch the course in your own time and go back to any of the sections anytime you need to. The course will be available for viewing for the duration of 10 years.

In this 60 minute presentation, from one of our live eco workshops, Thomas Linders presents the basics behind grey and black water wetland ecology. This presentation will give you a very good understanding of what can be done with plants for water filtration whilst gently blending the eco filtration into the surrounding landscape. Thomas is one of the leading permaculture teachers and water wizards in Africa with over 25 years of experience in ecological field of water filtration, organic food growing and earthworks implementation. He got his PDC from Geoff Lawton and also went to Geoffs' farm to learn how to construct Earthworks.
In our Eco Design Vault you'll find over 50 various sketches and artworks of conceptual ideas that are designed on nature's inspired geometrical patterns. From biological shelters and vortexing water treatment to designs of schools, kids’ play grounds, entire community blocks and food growing machines. These ideas will surely raise your awareness about curvilinear designs that are aligned with universal geometries. Alosha was inspired by sacred geometry as well as various leaders in ecological field when drawing these concepts and ideas on paper.
We have recorded a 2 hour tour with our good friend Natalie, a 70 year old pensioner, who is not scared to get her hands dirty.
She has figured out a really awesome way to grow food and herbs in raised containers with zero water waste all powered by her successful worm farming. She will teach us exactly how this is all created from start to finish. All about worms and container growing with Natalie Rowles
My latest invention, an off the water grid mobile trailer including a composting toilet, 1200 Litres of back up water, aquaponic system, food growing machine, grey water wetlands and grease trap all on 6 square metres of space.
Our off-the-water-grid trailer consists of a variety low-tech biological and simple elements. It will process all kitchen water with a grease trap by removing the fats and the bits so the water can be used to passively feed the garden. 2 layered constructed wetlands will clean up all bath and shower water and get it to the level that this water can be used to bath and shower again.
Live recording of our eco garden where Alosha will take you on a tour of all the Water Self Sufficiency and other eco systems that he created from start to finish. See how all the systems were made and receive an Abundance of tips and tricks.
