Game rules

• Participation: 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.
• Leave a positive trace: 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.
• Consent: Bring awareness to your boundaries and needs and respect those of others. If it’s not a fuck yes it’s a no.
• Gifting: What is your deepest gift that you can share?
• De-commodification: 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.
• Radical Self-reliance: 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.
• Communal Effort: 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.
• Civic Responsibility: 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.

Chose your accommodation

From bringing your own van to staying in a shared dorm, we have a range of options to fit your needs. We recommend staying for 1 month to get the full experience of our community, but you can also come just for an event.
