Syntropic economics
The gifts of nature and the reach of modern markets, in synergy.
A scalable Syntropic system that turns the extractive model inside out: products that plant forests, and market capital that flows back into the land and the people who tend it.
Our Project in Scope
An engine of globally expanding restoration
The Spirit Tree Project is an agroforestry project based in the Ucayali, Peru, working in cooperation with Indigenous Shipibo families across the region. Through planting systems that scale, our regional base and network open the way to a fully sustainable, regeneratively sourced product line whose profits return to the systems themselves.
In a first-of-its-kind, fully regenerative model, sourced in systems that heal soils, producing products that heal humanity, and planting forests with profits, our project closes the loop on regenerative economics.
Rooted in Place
With the Indigenous Peoples of the Ucayali Basin
In collaboration with and support of the Indigenous Peoples of the Ucayali Basin, our project seeks to alleviate the systemic pressures of poverty, malnutrition and lack of stability through the planting of trees that produce profit alongside food, ancestral medicines, and native fruit and resource species.
Interweaving ancestral alliance species with perennial food crops and market produce, our systems provide dietary diversity, material stability and reliable income, in easily adopted and tended systems that mirror ancestral lifestyles and forest-tending practices.

Grounded in Collaboration
With the Shipibo-Conibo communities, and with the forest itself
Through years of lived connection, in Indigenous communities, in the forest and on the rivers, this project is born. With deep roots in permaculture and Brazilian agroforestry, our project brings this agricultural “revolution” into the hands of those who would once have known it well.
By combining native life-support species with market crops and seasonal produce, our systems reintegrate these historically displaced peoples into systems that mirror ancestrally tended forest lifestyles.
Through these alliances and established trust, our systems sprout from well-tended soil and seed, awaiting the rains of generous support.
Our mission is one of collective support, of a will to care and a faith in Nature and Humanity, that we may live and grow together in happiness and peace, on the lands that creation has given us, towards the sun of a brighter, more resilient and restored future.
