Transdisciplinary Researcher & Teacher of Sustainable Systems Design in the Canary Islands & beyond
- I'm Cuban, a Systems Engineer and dedicate my life to developing sustainable systems at domestic & community scales.
- From 2010 I've been researching, experimenting, collaborating and teaching about how humanity can live well within this planet, enriching the life and systems around us, leaving the places we pass through better than they were, so future generations can enjoy abundant health & diversity in their natural & cultural environments.
- I've gathered a wide range of knowledge and experience on many fields, specially food & health sovereignty, subtropical food forests and syntropic agroforestry systems, holistic grazing and animal integration in agroecological systems, and the social, biological & mechanical infrastructures of rural intentional communities.
- I've collaborated as teacher, facilitator and organizer with a wide range of activist, training and research organizations around the world, both in person and online, as well as connecting with various rural and urban communities in different bioregions, and have supported the development of many sustainable projects, cultivating a broad range of practical skills and gathering many interesting stories to share.

Stef, Italy
Jose is a jewel of creativity, intelligence, passion for justice and integral design + many other talents, and worked on most of the innovations in permaculture education created by the Integral Permaculture Academy, whilst also managing very skillfully & patiently most of the administration & IT support for the team.
Erik, Sweden
What I experienced during the course really changed my way of relating to myself as a human, as being part of nature and not separated from it. It taught me to try to listen to and understand nature, to see the patterns between how things work in an ecosystem and how we humans work can well together, or not.
Tina, Barcelona
The course gave me a perfect overview and insight into ethics, principles, design, people, and earthcare, even Trickster came into play. I especially liked the practical work with my course participants on the farm. The theory was put directly into practice, it couldn't be better. I found my passion, thank you Jose.
Antonio, Tenerife
I value very highly the Integral Permaculture course. The contents have been diverse, comprehensive and very new for me. This allowed me to go above and beyond understanding Permaculture simply as agricultural methods. With regards to Jose, I perceive him as a very skillful and more than over-qualified person to teach about this.
Asmara, Gran Canaria
I loved the teacher's holistic and approachable vision, the whiteboard, and the practical application where as a team we analyzed and implemented what we learned. It was very enriching to share the excitement that the 4 groups felt. All of us created a great project together.
Lorena, Pyrenees
I really like how Jose adapted things to all the levels and profiles of the people attending the course. I also appreciate how the contents were also provided through audiovisual means, so I could catch up with what I missed of the live classes.
Alejandro, Asturias
I want to thank Jose and all the participants of this two-day forestry course. It has stirred up many ideas in me and provided knowledge that was new to me that I hope to put into practice. In few words: intense, ground-breaking, practical and motivating.
Matilde, El Hierro
ONE of the best EXPERIENCES in MY WHOLE LIFE 💃.. THANK YOU JOSE 🙏❣️

The White Wynd
The White Wynd
Like a prism separates white light into many colors, our minds have served the interests of oppressive cultures to break us apart into many clashing colors (genders, races, politics, generations, belief systems…).
Like a prism separates white light into many colors, our minds have served the interests of oppressive cultures to break us apart into many clashing colors (genders, races, politics, generations, belief systems…).
But a prism can also join those colors again, so Weaving the White Wynd means using our minds to brings us all together again – working with the best of science to embrace complexity instead of reducing it, applying true spirituality to navigate chaotic times, learning from nature to find the beauty in diversity, and doing whatever else is needed in order to co-create the winding path to a future that includes all life and cultures on this planet.
