Dear friends worldwide, we greet the peoples of the Earth. We greet the groups on all continents preparing the new age. We greet the newly developing planetary community. We are in a huge cosmic transformation. The great peace of which we have dreamt so long without avail can now be fulfilled if humanity remembers its sources and builds its culture on new foundations.

become a fan of Sabine Lichtenfels

become a fan of Sabine Lichtenfels
Sabine Lichtenfels : cofounder of Tamera Peace Research Center, one of the 1000women suggested for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005, heading the peaceeducation "Global Campus", leading political peacepilgrimages through Israel/Palestine and Colombia, this year in Portugal...

When a participant of a pilgrimage told her that she is the most courageous woman that he had ever met, she thought for a while and then answered: "I know what you mean, but it does not feel like courage. It feels like the power of trust." This power is felt in the presence of the fifty-three year old mother of two adult daughters. One likes to gather around women like her, one feels accepted, puts an old fight aside and buries an old argument. This quality, which she uses when putting together action groups or when establishing model peace villages and global networks, is her most effective gift of peace.


Ring of Power - Creating knowledge for peace - worldwide :
http://www.sabine-lichtenfels.com/en/index.html

After being asked repeatedly, I decided to begin an experiment. I called it the "Ring of Power". The Ring of Power addresses all those peace workers who know that spiritual research and political action belong together. You will only be able to realise as much peace in the outside world as you have realised within. In this time of the globalisation of violence, everybody who is active in peace work needs an active training. A training that provides the personal strength and knowledge to walk the path of trust and fearlessness. Close cooperation with all powers of peace is the connecting thought of the Ring of Power. We are drawn towards those spiritual sources that feed our capacity for free and loving action in this world. I, myself, do a morning attunement at sun rise to connect myself to the power of universal love and all cosmic peace powers. Everyday at sun rise I go to a special place for this peace meditation. I wish that a spiritual-political meditation ring around the globe begins, holding the Ring of Power. Thoughts create reality – may we strengthen the peace bringing powers through our meditation.

Enjoy, study, and support her amazing work !

15th Tamera Summeruniversity - Global Grace Village - Creating Models for a Future without War, in Tamera, Portugal


15th Tamera Summeruniversity Global Grace Village - Creating Models for a Future without War
Summeruniversity - 29th July - 07th August 2009 in Tamera, Portugal


Survival is no longer a private matter, it has become a global issue. This is an invitation to take part in a think tank and to build a vision for a future without war.


Planet Earth was meant to be Paradise. However, people seem to have forgotten it. Today we live in a time where extensive parts of humanity live in misery and destruction and ever more beings experience comparable fate on an every day basis, so it has become a question of survival to remember the grand original dream of a healthy planet, home to everything that lives.

Do we know our true power? Do we know what a small group of people following a clear vision of the future can change? Those who want to end war need a vision for peace.

After three years of peace research of the Monte Cerro Peace Experiment, Tamera Peace Research Center invites to a summer of vision building.


The vision of a Global Grace Village : How do future societies that are not based on fear, domination, and violence, but instead built on trust look like? Which kind of technological, ecological, architectural, and social structures will societies, resonating with the cosmic order of life, display? How will future societies, where children fully trust their parents again and where lovers never have to leave each other ever again, come into being? Which professions will they have and how will young people learn how to invest their strength for peace?

We call this vision of peace Global Grace Village. We assume that when the first planetary peace model is fully realized in all its depths, it will be a decisive contribution to a future without war.

Next steps of realization: Peace Research Village Middle East. Currently a group of Israelis, Palestinians, and Internationals are preparing the concrete construction of the first peace model. They will present themselves and their project. After the Summer University they will head off to the Middle East and check if the first Peace Research Village can be built there. We will also host representatives from the Peace Village of San José de Apartadó, Colombia, as well as many other guests. Visionaries, scientists, youth activists, love adventurers : With global crises overlapping, it is becoming evident that we are close to facing a paradigm shift; so let´s get together and learn to SEE!


Please note: You can stay longer!


Youth Future Village - Global youth summer with Mara Vollmer - July 18th to August 31st.

How does a Movement for a Free Earth arise? Tamera International Youth Center invites young leaders for a 6-week intensive workshop.
We also invited people from crisis areas like San José de Apartadó, a peace community in Colombia, young representatives of indigenous cultures, and people from Dharamsalla, a Tibetan exile haven in India. The gathering will serve to establish and deepen contact between cultures and religions, to awaken towards a global thinking, loving, and acting. Let's have a new love affair for a future without war.

Following the Tamera Summer University: Vision Quest with Ofer Israeli - August 12th to the 17th. A vision quest is a sacred ritual for the healing of people and Earth. The core of it will be to spend four days and nights alone in the wilderness.


Price (including Food and Accommodation) : 640,- Euro, reduced price for people up to 25, students, people from Portugal and poor countries: 320,- EuroYoung people, please note:We invest for a future. Tamera has created a contingent for 30 young people who can take part in the Summer University for the symbolic price of 100,- Euro. This contingent is meant for active and committed young people up to 20. Please apply for it until the 30th of June. Once the 30 places have been taken, you can still register for the reduced price of 320 Euro. Please only apply if you cannot come for the normal price.


For those who are interested in investing for a future: You are invited to increase the number of 30 people with a donation.


Warm Welcome !

Monte Cerro Peace Education


„"Monte Cerro Peace Education" includes comprehensive studies in peace work and the creation of peace villages. At its core lies the knowledge about community and the development of trust, truth and transparency including the areas of love and sexuality. An essential part of the education is the study of the political theory of a global change through local actions.„

Based on the experience developed during the first three years of the Monte Cerro Peace Education program with more than 80 international students we now start a flexible study program. The first part is a three-months basic semester, starting on May 4th with a four-weeks UN-recognized Ecovillage-design Education (EDE) course. For further information on this course, see the link below.

Monte Cerro Peace Education :

May 4th - August 15th 2009


Those who are interested only in this comprehensive overview of the themes regarding the development of a Peace Village can take this course independently of the remaining program. The first part of the Basis semester continues for two weeks including an evaluation time. The second time of this intensive basic semester will then continue for another eleven weeks and include the Summer University. In the Basic semester the students will get to know Tamera and its work in an overview: The projects of Tamera such as the Solarvillage, the ecology group and the provision of basic needs of a community as well as the core issues of research in Tamera: community and trust between people with questions like: Which inner steps in these areas create inner peace and thus have an effect on the whole?From now on we offer our studies in Tamera in modular form and in short-stay courses. This means that long-term-residence in Tamera will no longer be necessary, which also makes it possible for people from other projects and from crisis areas to take part in our education. The further curriculum you (will) find here under events.We are pleased that international peace workers can use this curriculum to train themselves for their engagement in the world and we wish for the field-like spreading of this knowledge and its practical application in the lives of many people -- in the name of love.

The global economic crisis, the consequences of which cannot be completely forseen, shows once more that the contemporary capitalist era is going to end and must end for humankind to have a chance to survive. But what will come after it?Will civil wars and chaos be unavoidable after the breakdown of the big systems or are there alternatives? Will we also be able to live safely and well without globalized capitalism, or even better? How can we develop and design a sustainable economy? What will new social and economic structures look like, that are not based on the exploitation of human beings, animals and nature? For years, communities, Ecovillages and Peace Villages all over the world have been doing research and working on the development of alternatives. Now they offer their social, ecological and spiritual experience and teach a knowledge of survival.We cordially invite you to the fourth EDE course that is going to take place in Tamera!The goal of this international course (the course language is English) is to learn the basic knowledge for the development of Ecovillages/Peace Villages. It is a course for people who intend to actively participate in the necessary change that is happening on planet earth.The course will give an overview of the four elementary areas which form the pre-conditions for the development of sustainable models: 1. Worldview: Seeing the world as a whole, understanding why we have an influence on the whole. What does a socially committed spirituality which gives us the power we need to make our contribution look like ?2. Social Issues: For decades, Tamera has been gathering particularly profound experience and knowledge in this area. What are meaningful structures for a new co-habitation? How can we develop a kind of understanding/communication which creates truth and trust – also in the core areas of community, in love and sexuality? The world needs models in which people really live together without continually reproducing war on a small scale so that a new culture of peace on earth can develop. 3. Economy: How do we deal with the issue of money in a healing way? How can we direct money into the development of sustainable systems instead of war and consumption? We will study the themes of Spiritual Economy, Barter Systems and Alternative Currencies. 1. Ecology: The material building blocks for the construction of new models: We will study in practice – based on existing examples for all areas, as well as in theory and get to know the areas of Ecology (Permaculture, particularly according to Sepp Holzer), new Technologies (Solar Technology – particularly according to Jürgen Kleinwächter) and sustainable building (particularly loam construction.)


The EDE education is a program of GAIA Education by GEN - Global Ecovillage Network (www.gaiaeducation.org; www.gen-europe.org), an official contribution to the “United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development 2005 – 2014” and recognized by UITAR (United Nations Institute for Training and Research).
