SoilDAO Land Summit
A Symposium for the Genesis Bloom
October 17–20, 2025
Sonoma Forest Sanctuary, Northern, CA
What is “A Symposium for the Genesis Bloom”?
SoilDAO has been quietly incubating for over 3.5 years.
We’ve traveled the world, learning from land stewards, elders, sovereign builders, and regenerative communities across many bioregions.
Now, it’s time for the first bloom—and you are an essential part of this sacred process.
This symposium is NOT a conference or a retreat. The word comes from the ancient Greek symposion, meaning “to gather, share wine, and speak truth.”
In that spirit, we gather to share wisdom, forge trust, and activate the next era of land regeneration, spiritual sovereignty, and decentralized stewardship— a convergence where ancient Earth wisdom meets modern decentralized technology, where blockchains serve the soil, and where ancestral knowledge and digital infrastructure are braided together into systems that can endure for generations.
SoilDAO doesn’t reinvent the wheel—
it realigns the system, weaving modern technology with ancient wisdom and time-tested practices that endure.
What makes SoilDAO powerful isn’t invention. It’s integration—a sacred convergence of beings and ideas that have never shared the same table.
🌱 Regenerative land practices & permaculture
🔗 Web3 technologies & tokenized governance
🛡️ Trust law, sovereignty, and constitutional principles
🔥 Land-based spiritual wisdom
We call these the 4S:
Soil. Smart Contracts. Sovereignty. Spirit.
Three of these technologies are ancient. One is new.
All are necessary.
Together, they form the architecture of a future worth living.
The Weaving (Sacred Narrative Flow)
When we braid these forces together—soil, code, sovereignty, and soul—we unlock something ancient, yet utterly new.
We are not inventing a new world—we are remembering how to be in right relationship with it.
This is a convergence of the enduring wisdom of nature—abundant, circular, regenerative—
with modern code that, like the DNA within us, runs 24/7, quietly coordinating complex life.
It is the paradox of sovereignty: that true freedom cannot be found in isolation, but only within the dance of interdependence.
It is the unseen mystery behind all of this—the breath before form, the song before sound.
For a long time, we humans have stood outside of nature, watching her beauty in awe.
It is, in a way, our evolutionary gift: to witness the sunset and know it as sacred.
And yet, by standing apart, we have also felt separate.
And in that separation, we have felt alone.
And in that aloneness, we built systems based on fear and scarcity.
We hoarded what was once shared.
We rewarded those who learned to extract the most.
We mistook survival for success.
But something in us remembers.
That we are not separate from the sunset—we are the sunset.
We are not outside the Earth—we are of her, as she is of us.
It is time to build again—
Not in the image of dominance,
But in the image of life:
Integrated. Cooperative. Circular. Regenerative.
For the first time in human history,
We have the technology to match the wisdom we carry in our bones.
And with that, comes responsibility. And invitation.
You are not here by accident.
You hold a key. A piece. A prayer.
Something only you can bring to the circle.
The question is no longer whether a new world is possible.
The question is whether you’re willing to be part of it.
Why We’re Gathering
This is not a conference. This is a Symposium—in the truest, oldest sense of the word.
From the Greek symposion:
“To gather, to feast, to share stories, to speak truth.”
We are coming together to workshop a vision into existence. To steward its blooming. To bring our hands, hearts, and tools into one field. To speak what’s true, map what’s possible, and birth what’s next—together.
This gathering is small on purpose: 20–30 people.
Not so we can exclude—but so we can hear each other. So we can feel each other.
So the signal doesn’t get lost in the noise.
We will share our wisdom.
We will listen.
We will eat together.
We will dance together.
We will play and have fun together
We will map, dream, pray, and architect.
We will sit in council.
We will co-create what calls to be born.
This is the Genesis Bloom.
You were not just invited to attend.
You were called to participate in its becoming.
Who’s Coming
-
those who know how to hold people through transformation, and build containers where trust can root.
-
ready to engage with their land in a new way, offering it back to itself.
-
those who speak the language of the land, who know that the first metric of health is what lives beneath our feet, and who are devoted to restoring fertility, microbial life, and abundance back into the Earth.
-
not experts, but wisdom carriers of law, trust, and the sacred principles of self-governance.
-
those seeking more than ROI: Return on Earth, Return on Integrity.
-
those who shape the digital nervous systems for new civilizations, designing coordination tools rooted in integrity and transparency.
-
those who remember what the land remembers, and carry codes that cannot be written in books.
Many of us embody more than one of these roles.

What We’re Building
SoilDAO’s mission is simple to say: Tokenize land in a way that incentivizes regeneration.
Beautiful. But… how do you do that?
Simple: Live in right relationship with the land and its inhabitants.
Beautiful. But… how do you do that?
Steward the land, and the land will steward you back.
Also beautiful. But I don’t have the time, the resources, or the energy to do that.
So again—how do we do that?
You get the point. It’s easy to say powerful, obvious statements.
Yet one of life’s great paradoxes is this: The simpler a truth is, the harder it is to embody.
Kind of like that old wisdom your grandmother gave you: “Just be yourself, and everything will be okay.” Thanks, grandma… But how do I be myself? And what is even this thing—“myself”?
We could spend all our time philosophizing about what it means to be in right relationship—with the land… with each other… with value… And philosophy alone won’t regenerate ecosystems.
Philosophers aren’t very investable. And they’re not the ones building new worlds. And investors don’t fund metaphors—they fund systems. They want something practical. Applicable. Executable. Profitable. Something they can trust to hold their time, energy, and capital.
So here comes SoilDAO—offering exactly that with a system that is:
Practical.
Executable.
Transparent.
Highly beneficial for everyone involved.
A regenerative, cooperative, decentralized, sovereign economic structure that makes it obvious for any land steward to want to participate. Because it solves a real-world problem. A problem I’d argue is the biggest and most pressing one we face as a species:
The extinction of our topsoil.
And what do visionaries, builders, and entrepreneurs love more than anything?
Solving big problems—and being rewarded for it.
What Are We Building? We’re designing a system that honors land, protects it from harm, and lets it give life again.
There is a very practical and applicable way to protect and liberate land, and to give it back to itself and to those who want to steward it. And liberation and protection alone are not enough.
Those who steward land know there’s no such thing as simply “preserving” it.
Preserving land = stewarding land.
Preserving land = regenerating land.
This is where SOIL comes in—and the need for a very, very practical measuring stick, integrated with a robust oracle. Okay, now we can measure progress—but regeneration is a calorie-intensive process. Where do we get the extra calories to make it happen? This is where the power of modern technology, the empowerment of decentralization, and very smart, clever tokenomics come in.
Okay… but there are thousands upon thousands of tokens. Do we really need another one? Most of them are worthless. Why would this one be any different? This is where the power of real-world, hard assets comes in. The most valuable of them all: land itself.
We’re not building speculative tokens. We’re creating a token backed by the most valuable thing on this planet: the land. Its value is inherent, and easily measurable—not speculative.
There is no safer investment!
Okay… but now we have a bunch of valuable tokens. Why wouldn’t I just keep my resources in BTC? It’s already becoming more and more accepted as a “safe asset.” Well… Bitcoin, unfortunately, incentivizes hoarding. And hoarding is exactly what has led to the destruction of this planet. Those who hoard the most resources are the ones deciding how things are done.
We don’t want to hoard. We want to mimic nature, not dominate her.
So we create a robust and interactive, community-run marketplace for this token to come to life—and to serve the community.
Yes—this is all very doable. And it needs all of us to make it happen.
To activate it.
To bring it to life.
You are a key part of this.
If you’re reading this, it is no accident. This found its way to you for a reason. Something is calling you to be part of this. If that resonates—
Answer the call. Join us.
Why This Matters
The extinction of topsoil is not just an agricultural issue—it’s the silent collapse beneath every other crisis.
Without healthy soil, we lose:
Food security
Clean water
Carbon storage
Biodiversity
Resilience
Cultural continuity
No soil means no regeneration. No local economies. No real sovereignty. Just dust—and dependency.
And yet, soil rarely makes the headlines. Because it doesn’t collapse overnight. It disappears quietly—until it’s too late.
Meanwhile, we pour billions into tech—AI, biotech, climate modeling—but if those technologies aren’t designed to reflect and regenerate what happens on the ground, we're just rearranging chairs on the Titanic.
That’s why soil is not just the greatest threat—it’s also our greatest opportunity.
Because when we start with soil, we heal from the ground up: Economies. Ecosystems. Communities. It is the convergence point of everything that matters.
This is the foundation. And if we get this right, we unlock a future where life works again.
Your Role
You’ve been invited to be part of this origin moment.
Not because you have the answers— but because you carry a question worth bringing into the circle.
To walk this beginning with us.
To stand at the edge of something ancient becoming new.
To sit with stewards, builders, wisdom keepers, and weavers.
To bring your clarity. Your doubt. Your vision. Your yes.
This isn’t about leading or following.
It’s about redefining what we’re here to build—together.
Sponsorship & Support
This is a not-for-profit retreat, designed to nourish those actively building the future—across regeneration, decentralization, and sovereignty.
The event is sponsorship-based. There are no ticket sales, no profit margins—just an invitation to resource the experience together, for yourself and for others.
This is a retreat-style convergence, held in a beautiful, land-based sanctuary in Northern California. Everyone attending will be fully taken care of—on all fronts.
Expect:
Nourishing, chef-prepared meals
Daily yoga and movement practices
Sacred ceremony and council
Spaciousness to rest, integrate, and co-create
Connection with aligned stewards, builders, and landholders
Nature, silence, strategy, spirit—all in one rhythm
💸 Sponsorship Tiers
We ask that you sponsor your own presence at $1,500.
And if you’re able, we warmly invite you to sponsor one additional person—a land steward, wisdom holder, or builder whose voice belongs in the circle.
For those called to deeper generosity:
$3,000 → sponsor yourself + one guest
$5,000 → support a team of stewards
$10,000 → seed the long arc of SoilDAO’s emergence
Every dollar goes directly toward this experience: food, lodging, materials, coordination, and sponsorships for those called but underfunded.
This is how we build in right relationship—through trust, reciprocity, and shared abundance. If you’ve been invited, and you feel the resonance—sponsor your place in the circle. And if someone you know needs to be here, let us know.
