The Venue: Traditional Dream Factory
Experience regenerative living in our developing village. Immerse yourself in permaculture, bio-construction, and web3, or simply relax in beautiful natural surroundings.
Our Principles
1. Take Action: We believe in transformative change through taking action.
2. Share what you know: Everyone is invited to create their own content, share what they know and ask for help.
3. Leave a Positive Trace: Help shape our regenerative playground. We've already planted over 3,000 trees and shrubs across 60+ species. By paying an additional premium on top of TDF’s normal fees we will contribute to planting more native tree and shrub species.
4. Consent: Respect personal boundaries and needs. If it's not a clear "yes," it's a "no."
5. De-commodification: We create environments free from commercial influence, focusing on participatory experiences.
6. Radical Self-reliance: Take responsibility for your own well-being during your stay.
7. Communal Effort: We value creative cooperation and collaboration in all forms.
8. Civic Responsibility: Respect our neighbors in the village of Abela. Be nice. Wave. Say hi. Pick up after ourselves.
