Who is the Syntropic Practitioner's Course for?

"For humans that want to understand and be able to work with nature in a cooperative and productive way... forever!!!"

Syntropic Agroforestry is applicable whenever trees and shrubs grow.
Obviously, there are nuances that are specific to climates and contexts.

Of all, the human being is the most important variable!!!
As s/he has the responsibility to conduct the food-forest organism.
 From a conceptual idea, all the way to its fruition,
which might be 20+ years into the future.

"An agroforest has the face of its human manager"

How does YOUR food-forest looks like?

I will help you to picture it, as we dive deep into Syntropic case studies from around the world...

Frequently asked questions

When are the live sessions?

Fortnightly live sessions, take place from April to September, and their dates for 2025 are: April 5th and 19th, May 3rd, 17th and 31st, June 14th and 28th, July 12th and 26th, August 9th and 23rd, September 6th and 20th.

Monthly live sessions occurs on the second Saturday of each month. In the case that a monthly live session falls in the same day as a fortnightly live session, then the monthly live session takes place on the 3rd Saturday for that month.

Monthly and fortnightly live sessions happens on Saturdays at two different times, these are: 6am and 6pm (UTC-3).

What is the content of the live sessions?

The fortnightly live sessions are synchronised with the release of each module, and have a 4-part structure:
  1. Participants share their progress on the workbook activities;
  2. Content review and Q&A
  3. Worldwide case study analysis and discussions.
  4. General Q&A - its all in!!

The monthly live sessions are unstructured. They usually start with Victor sharing his agroforestry experiences for the month and then it is open to a general Q&A. Every now and then, a special topic is chosen to be discussed in these live sessions too.

Who is the Syntropic Practitioner's Course for?

The Syntropic Practitioner's Course is for humans that want to dive deep into the processes and patterns of nature. It is for people that want to grow food while regenerating the planet. and reducing external inputs. While it caters and encourages all levels of syntropic experience, from beginning to experienced, it also demands a practical, intellectual and emotional effort.

It is designed and delivered for people that want to become a proficient practitioner in syntropic agroforestry.

What is the difference between the Independent and Live streams?

While the course content and workbook are the same, there are some key differences, that only the Supported Learner Stream offers, these are:

  • Lifetime course access
  • Forthnightly live sessions for 6 months - from April to September
  • Monthly live sessions for 2 years - Group Mentorship
  • Live case study analysis and Q&A
  • In-depth content review
  • Private Telegram Group
  • 1:1 call whenever you need
  • Individualised workbook feedback

What is the expected workload for the Course?

That is a difficult question to answer as the natural world is infinite, and we never stop learning - every day is a new day in our food-forests!.

Although every human is different, it is suggested that each module will require approximately 10 hours to be completed, devoted into both theory (course content) and practice (workbook).

It suggested that students do not rush through the course and find a rhythm in their lives that can accomodate it. The "ideal pace" (if there is such a thing) would be 5 hours per week, being 1 hour per day for 5 days. In such a way participants have enough time to digest the content while doing all of the proposed activities consciously.

Obviously a faster or slower pace is also possible, what is important is that the course fits your life - you are the most important variable.

Do I need to own or have access to land to get the most out of the course?

No, participants are not required to own or have access to land to get the most out of the course!

All of the practical exercises proposed can be done on any piece of land, being it the local park, the road verge or in a planter box.

It would be great if participants had a access to "wild/abandoned/neglected" areas to practice observational exercises.

What is Syntropy?

There are many explanations of what syntropy means, and originally it is related to the thermodynamic principle of entropy. Being the opposite of entropy, syntropy is a process that increase complexity and accumulates energy. For me, syntropy is a continuous process that increases both the quantity and quality of life, and in doing so, allow for higher life forms to exist and evolve - its the perpetual motion of Gaia.

What is Syntropic Agroforestry?

Syntropic Agroforestry is a method within the bigger umbrella of regenerative farming. It aims to produce high quality food, while regenerating the land. It applies our understanding of forest dynamics to create productive systems that increase both the quantity and quality of life, and in doing so it is able to produce with minimal external inputs (fertiliser, irrigation, etc.).
