Discover
the power of
regenerative
co-living.

Your home for the future.

Traditional Dream Factory is a web3-powered regenerative co-living space in Abela, Portugal.

We are pioneering a model for regenerative co-living while creating positive loops in all interactions between stakeholders including nature, all life, and future generations. The idea is to prove we can optimise resources while nurturing a creative and thriving community and at the same time leave a positive trace on the environment.

TDF opened its gates in April 2021 and been named as “synchronicity paradise” where solarpunks, artists, families, regenerators, crypto folks, entrepreneurs and digital nomads meet.

Land

The
land

In 2020, we set our sights on a small, arid plot of land in the village of Abela, Portugal. Home to an old chicken farm, the land is surrounded by beautiful hills and valleys, protected oak trees, a winter-and-soon-to-be-also-summer-flowing river, a farmhouse, and an old community mill.

We purchased the land in Spring 2021, and now this chicken farm is our playground for change. The ground is being relearned, rewilded and cultivated into a lusher, moister and greener future.

The
dream

A burgeoning web3-powered regenerative co-living, TDF is shepherded by creative, playful and innovative folks. Designed to be stewarded by 80-100 members, these continuously return to TDF year after year, deepening their connection with the land and each other. TDF is a beloved home — a modern, comfortable space where friends gather, dreams are pursued, and positive change is driven, all while having fun.

We are dreamers and futurists, and don’t worry - our dreams are rooted in realism. A new life of regeneration and co-living is emerging, and it starts at TDF in Abela.

DAO

TDF is a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation - aka a DAO, legally recognised in Switzerland through OASA (read more about this in OASAs Whitepaper). TDF DAO makes decisions based on different governance parameters:

  • $TDF (the amount of tokens you hold)
  • Proof of Presence (the amount of time you spend at TDF per year)
  • Proof of Sweat (how much labour you’ve put into TDF)

*Presence and Sweat collected only by TDF Members (Sheep 🐑)

Land


Governance

TDF is operated on principles of decentralised decision-making, regenerative working cultures, agile development, Sociocracy 3.0 and likely many more. By decentralisation we mean that decision-making considers people and the different ways they interact with the TDF ecosystem, local stakeholders, nature and future generations.

We see decentralisation as a practice, a verb, rather than a noun.

FROM OWNERSHIP TO STEWARDSHIP

We're exploring new models for living together and challenging traditional ideas of ownership: TDF is a blueprint for a system where the land owns itself! The land belongs to OASA (a Land Trust-like Association), whilst TDF Members have the right of utilising the facilities we build on it, paired with the duty to care for and to bring more life to its soils. It's a new way of seeing home that goes beyond owning it. We're designing and building 7 generations ahead, focusing on the kind of ancestors we want to be. Our model is circular, designed to generate multiple kinds of wealth and capital to stakeholders that go beyond TDF Members and include the land, the local socio-economical system and more. TDF is living example of a big playground for regenerative living systems. And it's only the start!

We are actively looking for 80-100 folks to join our flock, to become a fellow Sheep.

We crafted different journeys for curious souls to visit and build, to see if there’s a vibe to join. Currently, our focus is on opening doors to share our work and co-create, all the while supporting our team’s work and our Roadmap construction.With this in mind, we put together a visit & support model built with reciprocity at its core. It combines TDF’s needs, whilst providing folks with a easy way to visit, surprises and gratitude nudges on the ground.

There’s different ways for you to interact with our ecosystem, depending on your capacity and desire to step in. All is well, all paths lead to the same beautiful chicken farm full of sheep 🐑.
