Project Description
Traditional Dream Factory (TDF) is the first regenerative village prototype within the OASA network, located in Abela, Portugal. We're pioneering a model for regenerative coliving that creates positive loops between all stakeholders - including nature, all life forms, and future generations. Our mission is to develop prototypes of regenerative co-living and co-housing projects around the world, each in different cultural and ecological contexts.
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
Members/Token Holders: Individuals who hold $TDF tokens and have been approved as community members through the onboarding process.
Guardian Organizations/DAOs: The governing bodies that make decisions about land stewardship and project development.
OASA Association: The Swiss non-profit that removes direct ownership from landowners and instead holds project assets in a commons structure.
Stewards: Members who commit their time and energy to the ground operations of TDF for a full season.
Project Goals
Create a regenerative living model that leaves a positive ecological impact through reforestation, water management, and biodiversity enhancement
Develop a sustainable community governance structure using DAO frameworks and the $TDF token system
Monitor forest growth and ecosystem development to quantify ecological benefits, with potential for ecosystem credits
Prototype solutions that can be replicated across the OASA network globally
Demonstrate that optimizing resources while nurturing creative communities can simultaneously regenerate natural systems
Co-benefits
