Frequently asked questions
What is Syntropy?
What is Syntropic Agroforestry?
For a beautiful journey into Syntropic Agroforestry have a look at the life in Syntropy short film
Who is this the Masterclass for?
What is the difference between the Steady and Independent Learner streams?
- The Independent learner stream the course is paid in full and all content is immediately accessible.
- The Steady learner stream the course is paid in 6 monthly instalments and the course content is released monthly (2 modules per month).
What is the expected workload for the Masterclass?
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 do the Masterclass?
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" areas to practice observational exercises.
