Starseed Universe

Lake Atitlán, Guatemala
December 14th - 20th

Join us on a transformative journey into the heart of Mayan culture, where together we will co-create a living blueprint for global land stewardship and intentional community.

Apply to join us and develop the best version of yourself.

Our goal is to create a collaborative experience to each others visions and solutions from the future. We will have so many experiences that will be nothing short of spectacular. From December 14th to 20th, 2025, in collaboration with Will Blakey, and the Prophetic DAO Conference, you’re invited to an immersive gathering dedicated to reverse-engineering the future of DAOs - a living laboratory where visionaries, technologists, community builders, and cultural pioneers will co-create the next chapter of decentralised, regenerative governance.

Most of the magic of the UP Game will remain a mystery until you experience it… But to give you a taste for what is in store…
