We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. All participants are asked a very simple rule.

Participation

We are a regenerative playground. So far we’ve planted over 3000 trees and shrubs, with 60+ species. Come and leave a mark that future generations will appreciate.

Leave a positive trace

Bring awareness to your boundaries and needs and respect those of others. If it’s not a fuck yes it’s a no.

Consent

What is your deepest gift that you can share?

Gifting

In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

De-commodification

When you come to TDF, you are responsible for your own survival, safety, comfort, and well-being. There is food and drinks available for sale at the center camp, and you are also welcome to bring your own food - but please note that we do not provide a kitchen, and that bringing alcohol to the playground is not allowed.

Radical Self-reliance

Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.

Communal Effort

TDF is nested within the village of Abela. You are invited to meet our neighbours, and please be respectful and aware that their needs may be different to yours.

How to visit or dive in

Volunteer

4 000+ trees are already rooting the soil, with 10 000 more fruit and nut trees—almonds, olives, citrus, berries—on the blueprint. Contour swales capture rain, feeding our existing and planned lakes and keeping the land lush year‑round. Our strictly organic methods rely on compost and natural pest control, turning excess biomass into biochar that locks away carbon while boosting fertility—so every harvest nourishes both the ecovillage and the planet.

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.
