Just as the first 3 sessions opened the door for me to a new and amazing possible world. With the 4th session, a process of deeper understanding and learning began. Learning how to use the new tools, supported by the knowledge and impulses of the Motion-DAO community. Discovering new points of contact, exploring needs, expectations and capabilities, the MotionDAO profile is more and more defined…

December, a month of continuous learning, together and in synergy, full of inspiration and lots of love.

Each step forward broadens perspectives and encourages me / us to continue walking this path together, but it also raises a lot of questions and ist needed to learn more and more in order to answer them.

That is why I am now evaluating the possibility of attending structured courses for example kernel.community or near.university.

Very grateful to be part of this community, thank you!

Lenara / December/ Germany and Brazil

My participation in the group this month was mostly via Telegram. The group chat is very lively and serves as a way to continue the interactions between meetings, with many links and comments being shared between the group members.

It was a pleasure to be able to help with some questions that I could answer. Those were mostly on the practical and technological side - to the many philosophical questions posed I have no answer! But I am happy to see them being raised, and to come along in the inquiry journey towards understanding at least a bit more such deep and wide topics.

I’m also happy to see the group evolving at a fast pace, with participants engaging in several research and education projects, as well as the production of offerings for the wider ecosystem in the form of videos, texts, diagrams and NFTs.

Here’s me catching up with a meeting via recording:


Reyna _ December report/reflections./ Venezuela

A month with a lot of Motion! Incredible amount of information going back and forth through all the channels: Telegram, Miro, Meetings.

Participated in all group Meetings, lots of learning, lots of information to digest, lots of questions. Interesting process of co-creation exercises.

The Telegram channel is a booming garden, I needed to organize very well in between other life obligations to be able to catch up! Which was always fun!

And as my own projects are undergoing lots of revision and changes, I feel the push to bring it out in a comprehensive way, which is not easy due to the fact that it needs more experiential backup, as it is not a theoretical only project, and it is meant to be developed through practical experiential sessions.

I’ve had interesting exchanges with Sebnem and Jeanne about the use and intersection of the Embodied Intelligence approach I’ve presented very briefly, with a positive impact in a mini session, before the group exercise for Motivation and Contribution cards for Programming Values of the Community into its currency.

Many possibilities for the use of this approach as contribution for the co-creation of diverse projects that are going on.

Working on the presentation of a facilitation session as a workshop for the co-development of the experiential process of exploring the embodied intelligence framework.

Had a really rich and interesting interview with Kernel, where I was surprised that when I mentioned the exploration of an Embodied Intelligence framework in relation to the creation of Motion Dao, and then I related it with the theme of the Conversation, it became the hot and leading topic of the whole exchange with the other participants.

Very grateful for being part of this amazingly creative and ground braking group. Lots of knowledge, motivation, goodness and beauty shared.

Thankful for the bounty received to research the theme that moves my body, mind and soul at the moment and I am absolutely committed. I hope that can be a valuable contribution for the expanding community.

What I enjoy the most is the feeling of camaraderie, curiosity, openness for experimentation, safe to fail and respect to all voices that I believe is vital for such a complex and organic process. And a very important one…Humor!

Victor / USA

MotionDao is a place where I am motivated to work not because of a bounty but for a goal that is way beyond retribution> The desire to create an economy where one can work because “it is important” to me and my community. This is not an unique place but certainly a rare one. I am working on some videos/apps/NFTs that reflect the madness of global warming and the insatisfaction of the “little people” like me in relation to that monster called inequality. I am making synthetic images that visualize the inhuman slaughter of animals and its wastefulness. Also images that protests the disarray of 2020-22. Finally I will make a video with My colleague Platohedro to help other people start a wallet and become part of Dance-Tech so we can grow our economy.

We have and amazing pool of knowledge and desires at out telegram. I feel hopeful that we can grow and help people like ourselves by creating meaningful “work” that is not driven by the hunger of money but the desire to create a community where freedom and light are the norm and not the exception.

Sebnem / December / Germany

Excited to share [Ecosystem Valueflows]methodology with the group in a compact version, so MotionDAO can adapt and create their own practice. At the same time MotionDAO participants share a lot of insights from their domain of “movement” and “embodied knowledge”, especially Reyna and Jeanne. These exchanges inform an upgrade of the methodology that moves from systems thinking to systems being - we will incorporate and test it in Impact Pirates / Electric Circus. MotionDAO brings a new perspective into the Token Engineering ecosystem. Especially intentional communities will appreciate it.
