Here is the dance.
I live in the woods and I see MotionDAO growing roots and branches.
As a DAO, we are aiming to the sky with the strength, support and nurturing of the soil. Colombia, Brazil, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Venezuela, Canada, Argentina… countries here but we are people: Alexander, Tatiana, Antonio, Stef, Jeanne, Sebnem, Mariana, Reyna. Sammy, Lenara, Victor, Amber, David, Anibal…
Beautiful artists always envisioning, speculating with futures, living nuanced presents with different histories.
Near is helping us to grow, to dream and to do; I see we are injecting imagination to cryptowallets; to hack the present hyper-capitalist violence with CARE.
How do we reconcile the problems of globalization with the potential of the local contexts; the trees that may grow are different. Can we be a forrest with new species…new ones, recently mutated and undiscovered.
We are artists that make stuff with fungi, spores, electricity, light, heat, space, money, movement, software and hyperlinks. Artists strategies that complicate motion with stillness and paradoxically produce art problematizing production.
We are process warriors.
Can we create an economy beyond transaction of goods, labor and services?
Sounds funny and scary.
On more month. Near support helps us to create money arts and defend process.
I am hopeful and here are the traces.

Reyna J. Perdomo _ April Review
- Participated in MotionDAO weekly meetings until it was moved to Monday. It is not possible for me to participate this day.
- Had the pleasure to be invited and participated in “Conversaciones Dificiles” Podcast organized by Platohedro in Spanish. Very heartwarming experience and a gift for the eyes to see the beautiful space and community in full blooming. I want to thank @Platohedro for giving me the time and space to talk about my creative proposal, and the vision/mission to include the inner wisdom as the vital source for the new world that we want to create. A host full of gentleness and respect for the other.
- Continue the research/development of the “Fact-of.Exisitng” , hybrid phygital platform/app project and integrating the ideas that I have shared in MotionDAO with the Kenel community for Wbe3 and beyond! The project is having a major update.
- Writing a Journaling essay as KB5 fellow to share the learning and developing experience with MotionDAO.
- Following on the same proposal offered to Motion DAO on “Embodization before Tokenization”,
the short-embodied intelligence facilitation sessions I offered for the purpose of supporting the mapping of the needs and motives of the DAO for the Tokenization process, from the inner experience, utilizing the Design-Being approach. Similarly, I’ve Co-created with @Jeanne Bloch a Conversation on Kernel, or Convo, how they call it there, on:
BEING THE WEB 3 - Embodying the KB5 Flow
by Reyna J. Perdomo
BEING THE WEB 3
Embodying the KB5 Flow
Part 1: Mapping the body-mind journey
Following up and watching many of the recordings, it came clear to me the idea that this approach can be of service to the community as an ideation method and as part of the Kernel journey. Would love to open up space for the reflection through the inner presence design approach, Design-Being.
I propose an encounter with the unheard language of the body as a silent witness beneath all words that have been said during this journey and let it speak. Following on the words mentioned about: ” the healing patterns as a discovery process, in uncensored learning and grounded in the inner desires, the more agency as a gift to the individual, the more collective action without losing sovereignty, feeling one with nature in the enjoyable environment”
A guided journey to reflect on the Kernel experience through inner presence, to give space and voice to our body-mind rich source of meaning and sense-making. We will explore a body-centric design approach that expands strategy and focus from other ideation approaches, based on transformative embodied experiential methods and practices, and then applies them in real-life projects.

“Design Being” EMBODIED CO-DESIGN AND SYSTEMIC THINKING “Design Being” Is an approach that applies embodied intelligence into Co-Design and Systems Thinking practice. With this approach, you will experience very clear and effective frameworks, that…
A second part will follow, the idea is to create a recurring space to explore this realm of the body-mind connection. Everybody is welcome!

HubMotionBR April Report
The hub is starting to consolidate and adding core members.
The On-boarding process for core members includes an introduction to blockchain and its possibilities, which is a very new concept for many of them, and they have to be able to see how it can play a role and connect in a deeper way to the dance and movement practices they would like to explore in this decentralized community and DAO environment.
The in depth onboarding was conducted by Tatiana, taking advantage of a “beginners eye” that can relate to people in a similar situation.
To be able to have enough knowledge to stand as a bridge between the “beginners eye” and the “advanced tech understanding”, Tatiana and Lenara conducted several one on one sessions, each one based on questions that emerged from the previous session, in order to allow for an organic emerging of topics that were considered relevant for the context in question.
From the candidates identified for core members, Clara Trigo, Jussara Miranda, HeloisaGravina and Luiza Moraes joined the HubMotionBR.
The Hub started in Porto Alegre (BR). All members are Brazilians
living in different places in Brazil and Europe.
There are intense conversations with other people going on, who preferred to know more about blockchains, web3 and DAOs before joining MotionDAO.
The different responses to the invitation and onboarding process came to be the most significant experience and the very matter of what a performative onboarding could be. It’s about being aware of the conditions for trust and, thus, for collaboration and descentralized decision making. At the same time, it’s about approaching this very process as art.
mind the emotion and take a picture
We find important to make sure that core members are committed to the project and bring involvement, curiosity and engagement, so this was a very productive process so far.
Tatiana also created her own performative onboarding videos, dancing checkpoints of how the body feels to enter the MotionDAO space. The dance performance will be tokenized as NFT and a minting contract for HubMotionBR will be created as a next step.
Among next steps is also:
- the performative onboarding NFTs from the other members and devising of a policy for how to manage this collection of NFTs, possibly with a child DAO for HubMotionBR;
- expanding the On-boarding rhizome, with core members onboarding more participant members to HubMotionBR and to dance-tech;
- start of the resource library.
