TDF Stewardships: Learning by Living
Stewardships are immersive 12-week learning journeys hosted at Traditional Dream Factory — designed to prepare the next generation of regenerative builders, organizers, technologists, and stewards of life.
More than a course, each stewardship is a co-created experience where participants integrate into the living organism of a regenerative village.
✨ What Are Stewardships?
A hybrid between a residency, a workshop series, and a build crew — stewardships offer structured learning around weekly themes, paired with hands-on contributions inside TDF’s operational systems.
You live, learn, and build — together.
🎓 What You'll Do
Daily Practice: 4–6 hours/day of land-based or operational contribution
Team Integration: Choose your track — Land, Kitchen, Meta, Construction
Weekly Workshops: Learn from visiting tutors and TDF elders
Community Life: Participate in governance, rituals, care work, and festivals
Project Participation: Contribute to builds like biopools, food forests, or open-source infrastructure
🗓 Example Topics Covered
While each season is co-designed with the cohort, common themes include:
Soil restoration, swales & syntropic design
Decentralized governance & token economics
Mushroom cultivation & bioconstruction
Consent, care, and conflict transformation
BioPools, rewilding, and water system design
Operating a regenerative kitchen
Designing cultural programming and ritual

Tutors are invited to address real-time needs and steward requests.
