SyntrAgua - Syntropic Agroforestry & Water

Join us from 1st-4th June for a 4-day immersion into the practices of Permaculture Design, Syntropic Agroforestry and Regenerative living. An international team of facilitators will assist your learning and practice, through techniques that are available to everyone. Together we will carry out the full implementation of a Syntropic Agroforestry System! Check out the long description, or go directly to the info pack and the registration form.

LIGHT VERSION: due to high demand for a shorter format, we now offer the core days 1st-2nd June separately. People booking the full course will get an extra program including a hike and a deepening of knowledge - at the same time people only coming for the weekend will not miss any vital information for a reduced fee.

SyntrAgua - detailed description

A 4-day workshop covering the basic Permaculture Tools for site analysis, basic soil survey, zoning, water management and plant consortiums needed to start your Syntropic Agroforestry system.

The teaching modules will include a theoretical part, with case studies examples and a practical part with relevant techniques and other tricks of the trade needed for preparing and launching a productive project in limited space, either in the countryside or in peri-urban environments.

You will learn to analyze a natural site, to improve the soil conditions with low-cost techniques and to plan for water management. We’ll also focus on how to choose the most appropriate plants for your syntropic system according to your *knowledge, according to your specific climate, soil conditions, availability and needs.

The practical part will cover:

- choosing an appropriate site for planting;
- light earthworks for water management;
- preparing the soil for plantation;
- propagating focus and service plants;
- organizing the work sessions (digging, planting, mulching etc).

Prerequisite skills: basic knowledge of gardening, intro level knowledge of permaculture design.

What you can expect to acquire through the workshop:

- objective criterias for site analysis;
- an overview + implementation of water management techniques
- research methodologies for appropriate plants and consortiums;
- how to plan (and plant) basic consortiums that align with your objectives and specific context;
- community action tools.

The workshop is designed for:

- gardeners who want to implement regenerative practices;
- people who have family orchards in the countryside;
- people who would like to live off-grid;
- entrepreneurs who produce for market retail sale, through regenerative practices.
