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

noreply@blogger.com (Peter Koll Tamera) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:31:00 +0000

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.

Monte Cerro Peace Education

noreply@blogger.com (Peter Koll Tamera) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 09:06:00 +0000

„"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

http://www.tamera.org/index.php?id=408

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.

Tamera Ecovillage Design Education
May 4th - 30th 2009

The curriculum of the four-weeks EDE course will consist of the basic knowledge for the development of Peace Villages.At the same time this training is the first phase of a three-months basic-semester of the Peace Education Monte Cerro, which will include the Summer University “Global Grace Village“, from July 29th – August 15th, 2009.

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).

Directors: Juliane Eckmann, Jana Mohaupt, Saskia Breithardt, Rico LütscherPrice, including food and accommodation: 1200 Euro, 600 Euro for youth (up to 21) Price for Portuguese participants: 800 Euro, 600 Euro for youth (up to 21)

Nov 9th - Global Grace Day - worldwide

noreply@blogger.com (Peter Koll Tamera) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 08:37:00 +0000

November 9th - Global Grace Day http://www.global-grace-day.com/
Welcome !
Grace is the power that may overcome all violence because it is at home in the hearts of all human beings.
(Sabine Lichtenfels)
The GLOBAL GRACE DAY is a special initiative by a growing movement of individuals all over the world. The movement cannot and should not be identified with a specific group or organization; it is an expanding movement of those who have started to develop the quality of GRACE in their hearts. You will recognize them not by their signs and signals, but by the way they behave, act and talk.
One core figure in this movement is Sabine Lichtenfels, peaceactivist and cofounder of the peace research centre Tamera in Portugal. She is one a the most fascinating spiritual teachers of our times, connecting political actions with female peace knowledge in a unique way. She leads international pilgrimages through crisis areas and is the initiator of the "Global Campus", an education program for young peaceworkers which will eventually have bases on all continents.
GRACE activists around the world on the GLOBAL GRACE DAY read a meditation that Sabine Lichtenfels "receives" each year on a special place in a special way. In 2008, the words will come to her while she is leading a pilgrimage in Colombia with more than 400 participants , together with Padre Javier Giraldo, Benjamin von Mendelssohn and inhabitants of the peacevillage San Jose de Apartado (Colombia).
In 2005 Sabine Lichtenfels held a meditation in Israel/Palestine in front of the separation wall near the small village Baqqa al Garbiye. In 2006 she gathered a group in Berlin, Germany in front of the Holocaust Memorial. In 2007 she was again in Israel/Palestine, where a night vigil took place in Bethlehem. More than 120 international peaceworkers joined this event in Bethlehem and about 70 groups participated with their own actions all around the world. More information about the past events : http://www.grace-in-bethlehem.net/ .
In 2008 Sabine Lichtenfels will do the meditation in Guatemala.
The meditation serves as an energetic and spiritual sign, that we, as humanity, can no longer accept both the inner and outer walls built on a global scale.
More and more groups and individuals worldwide are joining the GLOBAL GRACE DAY with their specific actions. Whatever they do, they agree on the following points :
1. The action is held in the name of GRACE. Whoever wants to take part commits to study thoroughly what is meant by GRACE. ("What is GRACE ?" : http://www.global-grace-day.com/index.php?id=6) We also recommend reading the book "GRACE. Pilgrimage for a Future without War" by Sabine Lichtenfels, where the idea and effectiveness of GRACE is described within the context of peace activities in the Middle East.
2. At some time during the event, the specific meditation text by Sabine Lichtenfels is read out loud and thus serves as the common bond between all participants.
Why November 9th ?
Throughout history, November 9th has seen both the forth of cruelty and the power of liberation. On November 9, 1938, known as the "Reichspogromnacht" (Crystal Night), synagogues were burned and more than 30,000 people were forced into concentration camps. On November 9, 1989, the Berlin wall, acting as a barrier between two ideologies, was finally taken down.
Many peacemovements around the world now use this day as a day of opportunity to create a common peace power that no longer allows cruelty and separation between humans and our planet.
Whoever wants to join the actions of the GLOBAL GRACE DAY initiative is invited to do so and to contact Anna Bandini info(at)global-grace-day.com .
Once more : Please study beforehand what it means to act in the name of GRACE.

Diary from the pilgrimage :
September 27th 2008
by Leila Dregger
In the Anandamayi hostel in Bogota, our team has prepared a beautiful camp for the international participants arriving for the pilgrimage. The organization team has been doing a great job preparing all the actions that are planned: the five-day walk through the rain forest to visit the remotevillages of the peace community, the Global Campus with different seminars and practical training, and the media coverage by a film team.
In addition to the participants from the peace research village, Tamera, more participants have arrived, including Sami Awad from Palestine, and Hernan Braveheart, a Lakota shaman from the USA and Peru. Unfortunately the inventor Juergen Kleinwaechter had to cancel his participation because his company needs him at this time.We hear daily from San Jose de Apartado and our team there about the preparation of the place. A large group of Indigenas is planning to participate.
The short time in Bogota is not enough to really get to know this town.
We live in the old city which sometimes look like a village because of its little houses. We see many beautiful people, but also many uniforms and guns, and many poor people as well. Beauty and suffering come very close.A seller of "minutes" - which is one of the many people whose mobile you can use - told us, "Internationals are not in danger in Colombia. The only ones who have to be afraid are the poor people, because our president hates the poor."
Meanwhile we get into contact with a rich and beautiful group of people who want to create a different world.Some of us visited a conference of the ecovillages in Colombia which took place in a University. Among the speakers were Dorothy McLean, cofounder of Findhorn. Many there know about Tamera and were stunned to see us here. They want us to help to get in contact with the peace villages, and this connection can become very important.
We also met the shaman Taita Orleando Gaita, who had received the alternative Nobel Prize and represents a Colombian Indian nation. He and his group maintain sacred places throughout the country by protecting them, and also through rituals. He is an impressive man, full of humor and spirit. He invited our group the prepare for the pilgrimage with a intensive ritual lasting an entire night. Twelve people are presently taking part in it.
As soon as they come back we will head towards Apartado via Medellin by bus.We will continue this diary as soon as we can.Visit with Gloria Cuartas
Thursday 25th September 2008
by Sabine Lichtenfels
We start early in the morning - Meike, Anna Conte, Benjamin von Mendelssohn, Sami Awad, Airilio(our guide), a driver, and Sergio who drives the other car. He is a professor at the university for environmental research. We stop in a ministry in Usme to ask for permission to visit the biggest area of lagoons in the world, called Paramo. This is a name for places which have a very special botanical variety that only exists here.Two young women who work for the ministry join us. Anna Marie is a very special person that we get to know. She is about twenty-five years old and deeply connected to nature. We pass excavations which are 25,000 years old and an equally old cemetery which was discovered just this year.Later Anne Marie explains the meaning of the name "Usme." It is "nest of love." In former times two lovers met here, a Spanish man and an indigenous woman. The other people were against this pairing, and they had to escape to the mountains to live their love. Anne Marie recalls many beautiful indigenous tales of this kind.It is a beautiful mountain range, and we drive for two hours until we stop at the first lagoon which is 3700 meters high. It is a sparse area with dark rocks and special mountain plants. What touches the soul is something different and beyond words. Quickly we climb up the mountain; a light earth receives us and gives us the feeling that we are walking on sacred ground. Immediately I feel connected to my dream. It is like flying. In our silent prayer we get the feeling that we are welcomed by many beings. Two eagles fly above us.Anne Marie speaks words of welcome, so simple that they go immediately into the cells. They could be our words. Where do these people get the deep empathy with the world and with nature, and with the future of the earth? I am not used to meeting these kind of people outside of community. Anne Marie has developed a school where children and parents and teachers come together and learn together. She spoke in a very committed way about her country and her love for it.We stop again and again to connect with the land. I feel a living spirit everywhere. Two eagles fly and the sky is light. Anne Marie is very touched and says this is a special welcome. Eagles are protective spirits, "Muiscas," and the sky becomes clear only when people are welcome, because they come with great respect and a special mission.Time moves fast. It is an unusual delegation. I have never before come together with officials from Ministries and professors in such an intimate prayer and meditation. I take this place into my heart deeply. It is as if we were called.We stagger back home. The richness of the impressions and the change of the climate is a lot for the organism. Ten minutes of deep siesta, and then we continue to an official date with Gloria Cuartas who receives an important award for human rights from France. First I didn't like the idea of going to an official reception - big tables, everyone sitting around a bit helpless, strange music.Orlando is sitting at our table, and we are very surprised that he is here. I ask him if it is really right to join his ritual the following night if we have to continue afterwards to the pilgrimage. He just says that it is the best way to prepare:"If there are unconscious fears in you, they will reveal themselves and you can overcome them. In addition, you might foresee a lot. It will purify body and soul and prepare you. Some say you are weak when you are sensitive, but this is wrong. This is the actual strength."The evening with Gloria becomes much more moving than expected. A journalist who had lived with her for a short time in prison reads a moving text about her life and commitment. Revolutionary songs are sung, and Gloria speaks with such a big heart about her life and her work that we are really touched. The people are much less formal than they would be in a German event. The hearts also speak.Gloria also mentions Tamera in her talk and she says in deep appreciation to me how much power and hope she has gained through our work and how many wounds she could heal. I am deeply touched and firmly embrace her afterwards.We were introduced to many people in the peace movement; for example, Pietat Cordoba, who is another carrier of hope like Gloria. She is very threatened in the moment. Immediately a feeling of love flows. She thanks us very much for how much we take care of Gloria.

Tamera, Portugal : Holzer Permaculture, Practical Seminar Series

noreply@blogger.com (Peter Koll Tamera) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 18:09:00 +0000

Warm invitation !

First Seminar: October 5-12, 2008

Ecology is the central theme in a model for a global Peace Research Village (PRV) especially at a time when destruction of the landscape, hunger and desertization are rampant. In close cooperation with the permaculture expert, Sepp Holzer, we want to find answers to these issues. Therefore in Tamera (134 ha) a permaculture and water landscape has been developed to offer answers to the following social and ecological questions:How does a non-violent and ecologically compatible village model look for the human being to live on planet earth?How can one heal the water situation so that there is enough water for everyone and the fertility of the soil can be improved?How do human beings, animals and plants co-exist in cooperation and harmony?How does one develop a regionally self-sufficient food supply?In October of this year a continuous series of seminars for Holzer permaculture begins. It will be practical learning based on current projects. Interested and experienced people are warmly welcomed to co-create and mutually brain-storm.First seminar:“Development of retention space, mixed seeds, and the symbiosis of interaction”October 5 - 12, 2008Presentation: Sepp Holzer and the Tamera Ecology TeamDuring the seminar the following core issues will concern us:How does one build water retention spaces?How does one build high beds and terraces which form the basis of the Holzer permaculture?How can one develop and continually increase the fertility of the soil and the entire biotope?How does one best use the symbiosis of interaction between the various mixed cultures of fruit, vegetable and helper plants?Which type of green fertilizers and mixed seeds are beneficial to this process?Second seminar:“Water Landscape and Aqua Culture”January 28 – February 3, 2009Presentation: Sepp Holzer and the Tamera Ecology Team General information:- Content is liable to change due to weather conditions. - The third seminar will take place from April 13-19, 2009.

Support the Peacevillage San Jose de Apartado
About this event: Caminata por la Vida - Grace Pilgrimage 2008 Related to country: Colombia About the book: "Grace. Pilgrimage for a Future without War"

Share our support for th Peacevillage San Jose de Apartado !Help to spread the information !Thank you !Approximately 500 people will go on a Peace Pilgrimage from October 1st to October 5th, 2008.Peace workers from Israel, Palestine and many more countries - including representatives of the “new South American spirit of resurrection” from Mexico, Ecuador and other countries - will be led by Sabine Lichtenfels and Padre Javier Giraldo, together with experienced regional guides. The idea for this pilgrimage grew out of the long standing cooperation between the Peace Research Centre Tamera, Portugal, and the Peace Village San José de Apartadó. Together with the inhabitants of other Colombian Peace Villages, they will show with this peace action their commitment to build up a global peace force which no longer stops at national borders.The pilgrimage will pass through villages and hamlets surrounding San José, where, due to their remoteness, people live near military posts, police headquarters and other significant locations of the rebellion, totally unprotected between the fronts of the civil war. The goal of the pilgrimage is to become familiar with the threat to which Colombian peasants are exposed, to develop peace strategies, and to strengthen the Ring of Power – a confraternity for a future without war!
