Abela, Portugal – September 26, 2023

In the heart of Portugal’s scenic Alentejo region, roughly an hour and a half away from the bustling streets of Lisbon and just 30 minutes from the serene coastline, you’ll find an oasis of innovation called the Traditional Dream Factory (TDF). This unique locale is the flagship location for OASA, an emerging network devoted to the creation of co-stewarded regenerative villages that seek a more harmonious relationship with nature.

TDF isn’t just about offering a picturesque setting; it’s a statement of intent. It’s a place where change-makers believe that the key to global regeneration starts at our doorstep – in how we live, interact, and organize ourselves. Embracing a comprehensive, systems-based mindset, TDF aims to establish a framework of eco-cooperation where the quality of life is uplifted for its members, the local community, and the environment.

Acting as both a home and a proving ground, TDF brings together a diverse group of individuals. From social entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts to leading figures in the regenerative movement, it’s a community bound by a shared vision. This collaborative spirit is set on redefining co-living, aiming for a model that ensures every interaction creates a positive ripple effect, touching not just present stakeholders but considering future generations too.

With its feet firmly on the ground, TDF delves deep into practical experimentation. It is, in many ways, a living laboratory. Here, practices that challenge traditional profit-driven models are put to the test, with a focus on nurturing thriving ecosystems and human relationships. The commitment is dual-faceted: addressing external institutional shifts and encouraging introspective change in personal beliefs and behaviors.

Central to TDF’s ecological mission is the intricate dance with water and land. Collaborating with agroforestry experts, there’s a palpable drive to rejuvenate the land they call home. From initiatives to boost soil quality and optimize water retention to the development of a thriving food forest, the goal is clear: to create a sustainable environment that caters to both human needs and the intricate web of life around them.

Notably, TDF has also taken pioneering strides in governance. As Europe’s first regenerative village operating under a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) model, it blends traditional community values with cutting-edge organizational structures. While there might be few precedents to guide their journey, the passion and dedication of the TDF community ensure they are not just followers but trailblazers. With plans that include vibrant co-living spaces, regenerative agricultural practices, and the potential development of unique housing structures like Geoship domes and 3D printed clay houses, TDF is certainly a beacon of what’s possible when innovation meets determination.

In order to fund its conservation efforts, TDF just launched the $TDF token – which gives holders perpetual access to the co-living facilities.

About Us: 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.
