TRADITIONAL DREAM FACTORY

Pink paper

The pink paper is an evolving document describing the internal functioning of the Traditional Dream Factory (TDF) - a coliving regenerative village in the process of being built that is located in Alentejo, Portugal. TDF is the first regenerative village within the OASA network.

This document is our self-proclaimed constitution governing decision making, establishing common values, outlining processes, and detailing responsibilities. It is the foundation upon which our collective is built.

1. VISION

1.1 SHORT TERM

We are pioneering a model for regenerative coliving 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.

TRADITIONAL DREAM FACTORY (TDF) is manifested on an old poultry factory built in 1972. Located in Abela, a small Portuguese village with 400 inhabitants, the Factory is within:

• 153 km / 1h36 to Lisbon
• 30 km / 35 min to Melides beach
• 21 km / 24 mins to Santiago do Cacém (nearest city, hospital, etc)
• 1 km / 5 min to store, ATM, cafe

Adjacent to the factory buildings, we have a 7 years lease for 4.6 ha of land with an option to buy  24.5 ha of land with beautiful hills and valleys, protected oak trees, a flowing river, an old rammed earth built farmhouse, and the old Abela’s community mill. Until purchase, we are free to use and regenerate (create a food forest, swells for collecting rainwater, natural ponds, etc) 4.6 ha of land right behind the factory.

In the initial phase, we are planning to revamp the old chicken factory into a coliving space that will be shared between 80-100 members. The space will be architected so that it offers mostly everything that one needs to live creatively, purposefully, and connected:

• Coliving quarters (14 large size suites, living room & kitchen)
• 3 loft studios + music production live-in studio
• Family (or group of friends) private house
• Open Coworking, Coworking pods & Jungle phone booths
• Indoors forest and tropical greenhouse
• Experiential Restaurant
• Café & Store
• Pop-up event space
• Monthly Cultural programs curated by cultural citizens
• Wellness area (natural pool, sauna(s), green roof yoga studio, massage parlour)
• Industrial kitchen & Pizza Oven
• Makerspace (Lab, Atelier, Artist Studio, Wood & Metal workshop, Music Studio)

1.2 MEDIUM TERM

TDF is the first physical location built upon OASA’s principles. Oasa is a platform for building and researching regenerative ways of living and travelling together that envisions a global network of 12 locations with approximately 300 members that will re-invent together the living model.

Additionally, we aim to:

• Create a business model for land regeneration and acquire land to be added to a Land Regeneration & Conservation trust.

• Co-design technology that will allow regenerative villages to easier and efficiently come to life and thrive by open-sourcing our findings onto Closer (a platform including on-boarding process, booking system, event platform, proposals, etc)

• Create a system for transitioning farmers towards regenerative practices by onboarding them onto different networks (Regen Network, Regenerative Organic Alliance, Open Forest Protocol, etc) that will increase their income along with the regeneration of soil, increased animal welfare, fair living, and working with dignity.

1.3 LONG TERM

Scale by having other future thinking communities replicate this model and move together towards REGENERATIVE living as a common planetary goal.

2. VALUES

2.1 INCLUSION

Inclusion means an environment in which all members, regardless of their abilities or non-abilities are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the creation and nourishment of a thriving community. Inclusion also means thinking about all stakeholders when making a decision - including the unvoiced - such as Nature, the future generations.

• Diversity - the collective blend of differences and similarities that include individual and common characteristics, values, beliefs, experiences, backgrounds, preferences, and behaviours. All are welcomed as long as they fit with the main vision and with the community values.
• Acceptance -  the individual assent of the reality of a situation or other individuals, recognizing and trusting the process or condition without attempting to change it or protest it. We shall embrace and learn from our differences and similarities. Accepting feedback and learning how to give feedback
• Compassion -  the capacity to understand or feel what another person or living being is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's shoes (or roots).  Seeing Life through different lenses and stepping into the challenge of offering whatever is in one’s capability to support and actively give with our attention and love to others.

2.2 EMPOWERMENT / INTERDEPENDENCY

Empowerment is a multi-dimensional social process that helps people gain control over their own lives. It is a process that fosters the capacity to implement (ideas, values, etc) in people, for use in their own lives, their communities, and in their society, by acting on issues that they define as important to them.

• Support - being supportive doesn’t just mean that we act as pillars that others can rely on or that sustain their weight. Support is the act of showing that you believe in someone or something and making yourself available to add value to their own process and ideas
• Challenge - from this position we can assure others that life is about learning and growth – even in the face of uncertainty. While telling the truth about reality without blame or judgement inspires one to reach for their potential and to learn and gain from any given situation
• Co-creation - offering to create together is more valuable than taking away a task from someone on the grounds of being better skilled or more knowledgeable. Joining forces is more fun and often the results of the co-creation are greater than the sum of individual creations. Co-creating traditions & welcoming the grain of sand.

2.3 STEWARDSHIP

Taking responsibility for our life, our community, and our society and the changes or improvements we want to see at each level means being proactive.  If there are areas that are unsatisfactory or where there’s room for leaving a positive trace, each individual can do something about it. The situation won’t change as a result of wishful thinking. Taking responsibility means taking action.

• Ownership - at TDF we will be aiming to have members take ownership of the challenge. With that in mind, we own the obligation to take action and deliver the proposed solutions. As long as proposals come from a  thoughtful place, we encourage experimenting. Mistakes made in the process of leading challenges can be our source of learning. Fear of making mistakes should not prevent stepping up into a challenge.
• Do-ocracy - as creatives we constantly generate ideas. Having mere proposals is adding an information load to the others. Taking action on those proposals, forming teams, creating an MVP^[1], and pushing for the factoring of those ideas is what we stand for and want to see at TDF
• Macro-management - as opposed to micro-management. Allowing the others to carry out their responsibilities, tasks, projects, endeavours individually. Trusting the process and having in mind the final result rather than the journey to get to it
• Land stewardship, leaving a positive trace. In all actions, we shall remember we are not the owners, but stewards of the land with the responsibility to always be guided by OASA’s land principles.  

2.4 GIFTING

We foster a gifting culture where valuables, knowledge, skills, and experiences are not traded or sold, but rather given without an explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards. It creates experiences of abundance and gratitude.

• Each of us has numerous gifts to share with the world. It can be a smile, a hug, a yoga class, a piece of pottery, a moment of deep listening, feedback on a project, or coding a website. They are all gifts that can encourage a more generous community and create meaningful relationships.
• Give what you can from your own abundance.

2.5 CONSENT

Consent is permission for something to happen or agreement to do something. Apart from verbal, explicit consent, it’s also important to be sensitive to signals that can express certain boundaries.

• Personal space can be defined as the air between your body and an invisible shield, or bubble that keeps privacy and safety needed. In communities, often the personal space is usually smaller. We often need to move around the physical space bumping into the other members.
• It is important to acknowledge that personal space is not a constant unit of measure. Sometimes we feel like hugging, sometimes we are focused inwardly. Feeling chatty in the morning and quiet at night. Giving personal space means allowing each one of us to embody our ever-changing feelings and needs for interaction

2.6  CURIOSITY

Creating a white space for serendipity. Letting the creative flow emerge. Curiosity comes from purpose. Foster one’s purpose and curiosity.

3. PROCESS

• TDF is the first physical location of OASA and it is a sovereign entity within the OASA network, having its own economic and governance mechanics.
• There are two land titles:

• The old chicken farm, with the buildings (purple area). The initial purchase of this one was done by Sam Delesque through a mortgage, for a land value of  200.000€. Until the mortgage is paid off completely and Sam has been repaid, there is a lease with option to buy contract between Enseada Sonhadora (portuguese company with TDF members as shareholders, being transitioned to be fully owned by OASA established in 2021) and Samuel Delesque, with a set price of 200.000€. The option to buy will be executed at any time before 2030 when TDF accumulates sufficient funds, and no later than the GO LIVE^[a] event when TDF must have acquired the property and transfer the rights of use to the approved members.
• The beautiful land we are stewarding around the buildings (yellow and green area). Samuel Delesque is leasing these 25ha with the option to buy, in a contract that writes that whilst lease is being paid we can start regenerating the 5he just behind the buildings (yellow area). Samuel will transfer title to Enseada once TDF raises funds to acquire.

• The Traditional Dream Factory is a DAO that governs the land project. TDF DAO acquires its legal recognition in the articles of the OASA Swiss Association. OASA is a non-profit Association working on protecting land for future generations while giving its members access to exceptional living amenities. It was established in Switzerland as this is currently the only European jurisdiction that offers legal recognition to DAOs.  Read OASA’s White Paper.
• OASA will own entirely Enseada Sonhadora (Portuguese company that holds the land titles and does local operations). OASA requires that all the projects in its network abide to its  Principles of Regeneration and Land Stewardship, which assure that the land based projects (like TDF) and their contributors mantain soils, native vegetation, water bodies and other resources of the land based projects in their healthiest forms. It also assures that the communities are governed on the basis of rules that are just for its members while representing the interest and voice of Nature.
• $TDF tokens are issued by OASA, which will fund Enseada Sonhadora for the renovations of the buildings, the regeneration of the land and all local project operations are made by Enseada Sonhadora.  
• TDF is the Guardian of the land and entitled to operate as long as it respects the regenerative guidelines of OASA ensuring regenerative practices are in place indefinitely.

4. FUNDING

4.1 TOKEN DEFINITION & RULES

A $TDF is a utility coin that paired with membership gives the token holder the “right of use” of the TDF property and facilities at a privileged cost (utilities only).

• A $TDF gives the approved guests the right of use of TDF property and facilities.
• 1 $TDF corresponds to 1 day intended to spend at TDF. Bookings will be done over the TDF digital platform, developed by Closer.
• $TDF does not give rights to stay in a specific room. We will optimise occupancy for maximum use and enjoyment of the facilities and community growth and nourishment. The bookings will be done on a first-come, first-serve basis. The living quarters will be all equipped similarly and this should not be an inconvenience.
• The utility of $TDF renews every year. If a member has 60 $TDF, they can book 60 nights every year.
• $TDF can be bought or earned in different funding rounds at different prices and token holders can become members after going through the onboarding process.
• $TDF can be purchased after the GO LIVE event at the marketplace price.
• 20 % of  $TDF’s first minting round is reserved for equity distribution. Tasks for the building phase of the project are attributed with a $TDF value and those who complete them get rewarded.

4.2 INSTALMENT PLAN FOR TOKENS

$TDF can be bought in instalments - please reach out to the team to learn more.

5. GOVERNANCE

The governance model is structured in different layers according to the type of involvement and financial contributions.

5.1 STAKEHOLDERS

5.1.1 TOKEN HOLDERS

• $TDF holders are supporting the project financially by contributing capital to the treasury that can be used to build the facilities and regenerate the land.
• Being a $TDF holder alone does not give privileged access to TDF facilities and DAO governance. For that it is necessary to also go through the onboarding process and be vouched as a member - or have your booking approved by a space-manager.

5.1.2 MEMBERS

• Being a member means that you are part of TDF DAO.
• Members get privileged access to TDF (instant booking on the platform) and get to participate in TDF DAO governance based on their Proof of Presence, and Proof of Sweat.
• To become a member see the Onboarding Process and submit your application at Traditional Dream Factory.
• Memberships are non transferable and must correspond to a single individual.
• For an in-depth understanding of what being a member entails, check our Membersheep Agreement.

5.1.3  TEAM

The executive team is responsible for the execution of the architectural masterplan, in charge of operating the Enseada Sonhadora company and managing the resources of the company to achieve an outcome elected by the TDF DAO. The team is led by the executive director, in turn elected by the DAO. Eventually, there might be both an operational team and a development team etc.

5.1.4  STEWARDS

• A cohort of Stewards is composed of at least three members, who can comfortably lead and share the three hats that are the pillars of TDF operations on the ground: social, economic, and environmental - while also supporting the community, continuing the development of the masterplan etc.
• They get access to embodied learning, and get to work alongside the team running and building TDF. They also contribute back educational opportunit        ies in the field they hold a passion for to their fellow Stewards, to the team, and to the rest of the community on the ground and digitally.
• Educational resources are made available to the Stewards, so that every week of a stewardship will likely be composed of both more intellectual learnings along with the ground activities.
• Stewards commit their time and energy towards the building, care and stewardship of TDF on the ground.
• Stewards commit to run operations of TDF on the ground for a full season (spring, summer or autumn). They help the  execution of the project according to its current roadmap, alongside the team.
• Stewards are folks that already experienced TDF in multiple facets (building, cooking, hosting, events, etc) and are willing to tend and grow the playground and evolutionary experiment that TDF is.
• Stewards can propose events, retreats and festivals.

5.1.5 GUESTS

• Guests are people staying at TDF that are not members or residents. They are probably friends and family of TDF members.
• They book their stay through the platform, and must be approved by the space manager.
• Members can host a guest in their room (with a fee) or, upon availability, book extra rooms for them.
• Guests pay a full price for their stay at TDF (market price).

5.1.6 RESIDENTS

• Residents are guest artists and/or skill experts invited by Stewards to add value, bring knowledge and/or expertise during a stewardship.
• Residents and Stewards agree on an appropriate contribution from the Resident to the project with clear deliverables and timeline in exchange for a free stay at TDF, cash or $TDF.
• Residents get to use special facilities (lab, atelier, crosslam factory, ceramics, etc) as long as they need to complete their project (respectful to other needs of the project being met).

5.1.7 VOLUNTEERS

• Volunteers stay at utility cost, and work 9-13. Volunteers can be put into teams for specific topics - or be generalists and work on whatever the ground team requires.
• Volunteers stay for a minimum of 2 weeks

5.1.8 CHILDREN & PETS

• Children under 16 can stay with their parents at no additional cost. Children can access the facilities under the responsibility of their parents.
• Pets are welcome under the supervision of their owners, with a limit to the total number of dogs on the property at the same time. Maximum of 5 dogs can be at the property simultaneously and must stay within the limits for animals. Dogs are not accepted for events.

5.2 DECISION MAKING

5.2.1 PROPOSALS FLOW

Our favoured modus operandi is do-ocracy. Any member should feel empowered to take action at TDF, building out their own and the community's dreams. However, this do-ocratic model limits its scope to any action that does not have a significant impact on other members, on the ecology, or the economy of TDF and its surroundings. Furthermore,

A member should describe their desired action in a proposal. The proposal should clearly establish if and how it affects the masterplan (see maps linked below), as well as proactively do a holistic impact evaluation to see how it affects the project on an economical, social and ecological level.

The proposal flow goes like this:

1. A member has an idea/dream they would like to implement.
2. The member describes that idea and evaluates its potential impact on the above TDF stakeholders.
3. A draft proposal is submitted on Charmverse with a resting period proportional to the scope of the impact & its permanence is initiated (on average around 1-2 weeks). If the scope is large, the proposal should be publicised during a monthly community call.
4. During the resting period, all other members of the community are encouraged to review the impact evaluation and add their concerns & potential strategies to improve the proposal.
5. Once the resting period is over and comments have been addressed, the proposal can be promoted to Snapshot for community consideration.

Ideally, disagreements will be voiced around the “WHY” not around the “HOW”. The How is up to those that propose something (the doers) and the why is about the community and its values.

Proposals are reviewed against the master plan, and checked for constitutionality: the proposal must not compromise the utility status of the $TDF token or severely endanger the future viability of the project in any way.

5.2.2 PROPOSALS RESTING PERIOD

A resting period of one week is currently defined Snapshot - in order to balance between efficiency and safety of the governance protocol. Additional deliberation time is given prior to that on Charmverse and by giving visibility to the proposal on community calls and communication channels.

5.2.3 CONSTITUTIONAL DECISIONS

Some decisions (related to the use of land) are designed to be discussed outside of the governance described in this document.

The Principles of Regeneration and Land Stewardship 🌳 must be respected by the present agreement, as well as be put into practice on the ground by any members of TDF.

5.2.4 TOKEN HOLDER AGREEMENTS

• Stakeholders holding governance weight decide collectively how to evolve the project
• Decisions concerning radical changes to game rules (Pink Paper, Whitepaper, Citizenship agreement), masterplan changes,  vision changes, election of executive team are communicated and elected by the DAO

5.2.5 LIVING AGREEMENT

• Decisions regarding the day to day operations (how we live together) is governed by members on the ground during that time
• Decisions concerning: food, Interaction with the local community, events, schedule, organising labour for internal activities, etc
• Decided weekly & monthly by the members present

5.3 MEMBER ONBOARDING PROCESS

Being a TDF Member means that TDF is one of your homes. That comes with many advantages and also certain duties and responsibilities. With great power, great responsibility.

A member is a person who has spent at least 14 days at TDF and has been vouched by other members to be a part of the community.  In order to become a TDF DAO contributor and participate in the governance, in addition to being a $TDF token holder, a membersheep is mandatory.

Check our Membersheep Agreement to see all details about membersheep here.

5.3.1 Becoming a member

• Spend at least 2 weeks at TDF
• Ask the Community Curator or Steward to become a member.  
• Community Curator or Steward will bring applications to be vouched by other members.
• Depending on the vouching process result, membersheep is approved or rejected.

5.3.2 Membersheep Benefits

• Booking a stay at TDF without a need for approval (when there is availability) and get access to all dreamy facilities.
• Booking stay at TDF with $TDF tokens and staying at utility costs.  
• Earn $TDF tokens in exchange for contributions to build TDF.
• Participation in DAO governance system and decision-making processes with Proof of Presence & Proof of Sweat.
• Access to member platform.

5.3.3 Membersheep Duties

• Be an active member

•  Actively participate in developing TDF by spending at least 2 weeks on site every other year
• Actively contributing for 1-2 land projects/tasks when on the ground

• Participate in the online members calls (at least 1 every season cycle)
• Live up to TDF values  and respect and inforce the Principles of Regeneration and Land Stewardship
• Respect TDF Visitor Guide & Pink Paper norms while staying at TDF
• Participate in DAO Governance.
• Be active in the vouching process for new members.

5.4 OUTBOARDING PROCESS

In case of inappropriate behaviour, a member can get reported, and admins can block their access to the platform and the culprit can be asked to leave the land.^[b]

In the event a member is not aligned with the values of the community, the members should engage in a conversation with the community curator. The Community Curator should attempt to mediate the situation and engage in constructive conversations and can ask the member to re-evaluate their behaviour and propose a mitigation plan. If the plan is not followed through, an un-vouching process occurs - all members are informed and can vote on the outcome.

At the end of the outboarding process, a learning circle should collect feedback from the members and see how we can best improve the model.

Members who haven’t been present for 2 years are considered inactive and can lose their membership. Re-activating the membership requires a soft re-inbording or a new vouching process.

6. PROJECT INCUBATOR

Stewards and Contributors, as involved members of the community, can vision, prototype, build and run their dreams (projects/businesses) from within TDF.

During the initial phases, they can access the facilities and tools (for as many hours corresponding to their level of membership)  and support networks to launch their ideas.

They can use the TDF services, accounting, and billing without having to open their own business (which in Portugal can be at times lengthy and bureaucratic). In return, a percentage (20% or custom agreement per case basis) of their revenue or a profit share in case of pop-up/ irregular projects will be retained by the TDF. They can also use the internal resources, material library, and human capital in a mutual credit system, so there’s the least amount of monetary transactions and encouraging in this way an internal economy.

If after launch the business  requires the further use of facilities, space and tools beyond the hours allocated for their type of membership, rent will be determined on a case by case basis in addition to the percentage of revenue distributed to TDF.

6.1. RESTAURANT & CAFE

The restaurant and cafe will be fully equipped as an initial investment for TDF. The restaurant is staffed - there is a daily menu that reflects the season and the local produce available. Members can propose popup/experiential dinners and co-create them with the staff.

*** restaurant & cafe adds direct income to Traditional Dream Factory

*** the pop-up/experiential dinner organisers and TDF will share the profit (split to be determined)

6.2. EVENT SPACE

During the build time, the whole TDF can host a variety of events that fit with the current build phase of the space that will generate additional income streams for TDF.

Once the monthly Cultural Programs are set up, the event space will be reserved for those events pertaining to the Programs with events created for the internal community during the month and an OPEN HOUSE weekend. During the weekend the TIPIs can be used for additional accommodation and the cultural citizen can book vacant spaces for weekend visitors.

Additionally, POP-UP events can be proposed and voted on by the community. The organisers bear all costs (in credits or money).

Retreats & festivals can also be proposed and will be voted on by the community.

*** a reasonable rent amount will be determined for the use of space

*** the pop-up event & TDF will share profit (split to be determined)

6.3. FOOD TRANSFORMATION

Products can be transformed in the industrial kitchen & lab and sold within the TDF store or other venues. If the transformation is done within the limits of allocated use per facility, rent is not necessary. If more time and/or storage space (including walk-in fridge) is required,a rent agreement is negotiated.

*** a reasonable rent amount will be determined for the use of the space & tools (if necessary)

*** a percentage of the revenue will be distributed to TDF

*** examples: Hum(b)us, Kimchi & fermented products, Honey, Kombucha, Hot sauce, etc

6.4.  PRODUCT DESIGN

New products can come to life in the Dream Factory! Whether it is a physical product or a digital product, you will have access to the atelier, tools, and machinery, co-working space, a network of various skilled people that you can also hire by paying internal credits, and a physical store to show & sell your products. If products are produced in the atelier, using tools and machinery within the limit of use allocation/ facility per membership, rent is not necessary. If more time is required and/or storage space is used, rent can be added.

*** a reasonable rent amount will be determined for the use of the space & tools (if necessary)

*** a percentage of the revenue will be distributed to TDF

*** examples: Dream Neon, Digital agency, etc

7. CULTURAL PROGRAMS

7.1 MONTHLY PROPOSALS

After the GO LIVE event, TDF members can apply for monthly cultural citizenships on the community digital platform.  At this point, cultural citizenship is tied to the cultural program that they want to bring to TDF. A proposal for becoming a cultural citizen should be accompanied by a full proposal for a cultural activity for the month that the member applies for.

E.G. Arturo can submit a proposal over the TDF platform to become the cultural citizen for the month of August 2022. The program submitted is: “Blockchain technology & cryptocurrencies”.  

• In case of a single proposal,  the proposal will pass as long as nobody is strongly opposed (see “decision making” chapter)

• If there is more than one proposal for a specific month, the proposing members can discuss and agree on submitting for different months. If there are time constraints, the proposals will follow a vouching system, similar to vouching for members where those that have booked their stay to TDF for that respective month have a double vouching power than the rest of the members.
• The programs that are not chosen can re-apply to other available months.

A cultural citizen position is rewarded in credits, equity & other currencies. The reward amount and methods will change over time according to the project’s evolution.

7.2 THEMES

Cultural programs are month-long programs submitted by cultural citizens. Proposals and schedules will be voted by the members. When creating a proposal, cultural citizens should consider a holistic impact evaluation: members, TDF, local community & nature (see more: decision-making article).

Cultural programs should evaluate which of our Impact KPIs can benefit from its implementation.

Examples:

Mycology

• Land and nature
• Reforestation, and planting diverse species

Local craftsmanship: tapestry, ceramics, open source hardware…

• Equity and local economy
• Materials and products

Film festival

• Culture and community
• Equity and local economy

Digital month: creating digital products at TDF

• Culture and community etc

Cultural citizens can invite guest artists and/or experts to add value, bring knowledge or expertise during a cultural program. 10% of the occupancy is reserved for that purpose.

During the month, activities, workshops, and other events related to the monthly theme are created for the internal community (whoever is present at TDF during this month).

Events pertaining to the Programs can make use of all common spaces and events can be added to the calendar beforehand that will lock those spaces and resources needed.

8. EXPANSION

After GO LIVE, TDF can follow two different paths. Either an expanding economy or a retracting economy, depending on the constellation of members, the desired way of living and sharing resources, and other hard-to-predict factors.

If adopting an expanding economy:

• We can build more living spaces, increasing the total supply and thereby enabling the DAO to mint more $TDF
• Possible actions: renovate farm, build on the 4000 square metres urbanisable lots (can be a good option for families and long term stewards), renovate the old mill, etc

In case of a retracting economy:

• We would have fewer members
• Would lease some of the assets
