<h3><strong>The Power of Connection with Nature</strong></h3><p>A deep emotional and spiritual bond with nature can be transformative, offering healing and a sense of belonging through direct immersion in the natural world.</p><h3><strong>Creating Community Through Forest Sanctuaries</strong></h3><p>Forest sanctuaries serve as communal spaces for healing, gathering, and co-creation while preserving ecological integrity and fostering deep connections between people and nature.</p><h3><strong>The Role of Art in Activating Spaces</strong></h3><p>Artists and creative expression bring vibrancy to community forests, turning them into dynamic, interactive landscapes that blend culture with ecological restoration.</p><h3><strong>Expanding the Movement and Inspiring Others</strong></h3><p>The vision of forest sanctuaries extends beyond local projects, inspiring global communities to adopt similar models and create a network of rewilding efforts.</p><h3><strong>Reaching Different Groups of People</strong></h3><p>Engaging both experienced ecological activists and urban dwellers requires different approaches, providing accessible entry points for deeper transformation and connection with nature.</p><h3><strong>Urban Green Spaces as a Gateway to Regeneration</strong></h3><p>City parks, botanical gardens, and other urban green spaces can serve as stepping stones, introducing people to ecological awareness and encouraging them to participate in regeneration.</p><h3><strong>Learning from Plants and Deep Listening</strong></h3><p>Nature offers wisdom through deep listening and personal experiences with plants, revealing insights that guide both individual and collective healing.</p><h3><strong>Art, Gatherings, and Community Activation</strong></h3><p>Cultural events, artistic installations, and interactive experiences attract people to regenerative projects, fostering a lasting sense of connection and participation.</p><h3><strong>Designing and Embedding Forest Sanctuaries</strong></h3><p>Each forest sanctuary should reflect the spirit and needs of its community, integrating ecological stewardship with cultural and spiritual significance.</p><h3><strong>Seeking Wisdom from the Land</strong></h3><p>Nature itself holds answers and guidance, inviting humans to engage in a reciprocal relationship of listening, learning, and co-creating with the land.</p>

Rather than simply taking from nature, how can we give back? This video explores the idea of mutual healing between people and the land—how deep listening, observation, and participation in natural cycles can transform both ecosystems and our own well-being. Drawing from indigenous wisdom, personal experience, and the power of place, we explore the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of reconnecting with nature in a meaningful way.

Bring your own gear, or ask us if we can borrow you some. We recommend a camping mattress, a sleeping bag and a pillow. If it is winter, make sure your gear is warm and waterproof.

Carrots provide you with a seamless way to make your booking without the need for traditional currency - with Carrots you can cover any Accommodation Fee at TDF. It mimics our $TDF system, except that it does not contain governance influence.

Carrots can be harvested monthly with a pioneer subscription or earned by completing 👾 quests (coming soon).

Get cosy in a glamping tent for you, and two or three more folks. It's spacious and comfortable, don't worry - they are 5m in diameter. There's a lamp to give you light, and a plug for your electronics. Usually the tent will be inside our warehouse.

Get cosy in a glamping tent for you, yourself and you again. They are 5m in diameter! If you're sharing it with your partner, you'll get a double mattress with warm blankets and fluffy pillows. In case you want two singles, please let us know.

There's a lamp to give you light, and a plug for your electronics. Usually the tent will be inside our warehouse, or maybe there'll be availability in the land.

 $TDF is a utility token backed with real-life value - it gives you access to yearly accommodation at TDF, TDF DAO governance, and really good friends.  

 By purchasing $TDF you are supporting the purchasing and reforestation of the TDF land and the renovation of the facilities, whilst making it your home for the now and the future. 

Bring your auto-home to TDF. We have spaces in the land that are flat, with shade and with electricity. Perfect for your home on the road.

Token sale Now OPEN!

Fox was invited to participate in $TDF's private sale. She can get her $TDF at lower prices, as the token price increases for every token sold and she's in first hundred purchasers.  She's not sure of how her life is going to roll in the next few years, but she decides to buy 30 $TDF - she can support the project construction for now, and if later she decides not to spend time there, she can sell her tokens after the go-live event.
