About this Retreat
Gareth is a cofounder of ColivingDAO which is a launchpad to build a federation of regenerative coliving communities. ColivingDAO gives residents shares in their community with every rental payment, and a real voice to shape their community. ColivingDAO uses collective decentralized decision making tools and new forms of ownership to enable multistakeholder agency instead of hierarchical control. Gareth facilitates workshops on collective decision making and decentralized ownership structures for community building. Individuals with higher consciousness can only fully step into their capabilities if they are given agency within community and organisational structures that are compatible with higher levels of consciousness. Communities that utilise advance decision-making tools enable higher consciousness individuals to thrive, and Gareth teaches and facilitates workshops to demonstrate the power of these tools.
Gareth’s vision is to plant the seeds of a regenerative economic paradigm shift by building regenerative communities that enable the construction of a bridge between today’s system and our desired Solar Punk future to enable all beings to thrive on Earth together.
Web3 Pioneer | ReFi Advocate | Coliving Visionary | PropTech RWA Innovator | Non-Zero-Sum Solver | Podcast Host
Shaping the future of living and engineering non-zero-sum solutions to complex problems.
At ColivingDAO, I am pioneering decentralized community living powered by Regenerative Finance (ReFi) principles. My mission is to create regenerative, community-driven spaces that enhance people's wellbeing, restore the planet, and drive profit through innovative and scalable solutions.
I leverage the circular economy to tackle the polycrisis - the interconnected global challenges of our time. By focusing on regeneration, I aim to build resilient and antifragile ecosystems that go beyond sustainability to restore and enhance our multicapital wealth.
I embrace the transformative power of Web3 and decentralization to reshape industries and reimagine human society. I believe in the potential of decentralized systems to drive social impact, improve governance, and create equitable, transparent structures that empower individuals and communities.
I cohost the podcast ColivingDAO Insights, where I explore topics like Web3, PropTech, RWA tokenizaton, NFTs, and community living, sharing perspectives on how cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices are redefining how we live, work, and connect.
I am also the author of two books on human psychology and personal development, aimed at inspiring others to reach their highest potential and make meaningful contributions to the world.

8 Days to Reimagine How We Live and Work Together
What if the future of living wasn’t just about where you are, but how you connect?
Join us for a one-of-a-kind popup coliving experience where creativity, collaboration, and community converge. Over eight transformative days, we’ll co-create a mini-project using the ColivingDAO Lite blueprint to demo the power of shared power and decision-making. This isn’t just a week away – it’s a movement creating a better future for all of humanity and all beings on planet earth.
Who’s It For?
Visionaries. Builders. Regens. Rebels. Anyone intrigued by the intersections of community, regenerative principles, new ownership models, Web3, network states and reimagined ways of living.
If you’re uninspired by cookie-cutter coliving and looking for an experience that’s raw, real, regenerative and revolutionary, this is for you.
What You’ll Get:
Connected Living: Dive into a collective project where every voice matters and every skill contributes. No spectators – only co-creators.
Shared Meaning: Live alongside changemakers, dreamers, and doers who are ready to challenge norms and create extraordinary new ways of living.
Co-created schedule: We will propose a schedule and also welcome proposals from the group to decide how to best allocate our time.
In-person DAO: Experience decentralized decision-making in action with an in-person DAO gathering. Shape ideas. Build consensus. Watch magic happen.
Fluid Productivity: Blend work, rest, and play in a way that feels natural and fully integrated. Work hard, rest hard, play hard.
Workshops & Guest Speakers: We will propose some core workshops, and invite the group to contribute proposals for workshops and the group decides which ones to host. We will deliver the first session on the ColivingDAO Vision, then some suggested core workshop examples include: Exploring Hidden Social Dynamics, Building a Regenerative Economic System, ReFi Basics, Intro to Sociocracy, How to Manage Coliving Communities Effectively. Confirmed speakers: Gareth Thompson & Daniel Aprea (hosts and Cofounders of ColivingDAO), and guest speaker Daniel Go founder of CoCoHub.
Local Activities: Group dinners and a local excursion to the beach and local town including a visit to world famous temples.

Fun & Social
Local excursions including a beach trip, restaurant group dinner and a visit to world famous temples will be included, and the group will also co-create or decide what other social activities will take place during the week.
