"Water is Life ! - a model for renaturation of dry regions"
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Practical seminar series for Sepp Holzer permaculture in Tamera, Portugal in 2009

directed by Sepp Holzer

We offer seminars with Sepp Holzer where one can learn the theory and practice of Holzer's Permaculture in conjunction with the actual development of the water landscape in Tamera.

“Holzer's Permaculture
means landscape design in a wider sense:
Correct the mistakes of past,
enable the symbioses of mutual effects,
letting nature work,
reestablishing natural cycles.“
(Sepp Holzer)

The essential areas of Holzer's Permaculture are the development of water landscapes for the ecological renaturation of the land, and the evolution of many mutually-supportive communities of plant and biotopes, which also create a self-sufficient supply of food for the people living there. In addition to dealing with these basic topics, each seminar has its own focus in such a way that the seminars can be attended individually, or as a series that complement each other.

Next Seminar: Water Landscape and AquaCulture
January 28 – February 04, 2009
Directed by: Sepp Holzer and the Ecology Team of Tamera

Topics:
Building water landscapes, ponds, wet and dry areas, taking the different geological situations of valleys and slopes/hills into consideration
How to create biotopes where water purifies itself naturally
Inventory of the flora and the fauna in the area of the water landscape water plants and fishes

“Learning to read nature”: Perception/Survey of a catchment area/watershed; recognizing symbiosis of mutual effects in dry and wet areas Shallow, shore, and deep water zones and their meaning
Continued development and design of the experimental areas designed during the October seminar: mixed and undersown crops in the cultivation of vegetables and grain
Installation of experimental grain areas with ancient grain, single grain, and emmer Building raised beds and terraces Planting fruit tress and bushes Continuation of the design of the “Sensual Garden” at vital energetic places in Tamera

General Information: Depending on the weather conditions, the contents of the seminars are subject to change.

Price: 850 Euro per seminar, includes accommodation in 4-bed Visitor Huts with your own sleeping bag and vegan food. You may book a room in the Guest House at an additional cost, if available.

November 9th "Global Grace Day"
About the book: "Grace. Pilgrimage for a Future without War"
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

November 9, 2008: Join the Global GRACE Day
What is the Global GRACE Day?

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, peace activist and cofounder of the peace research centre Tamera in Portugal. She is one of the most fascinating spiritual teachers of our time, 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 peace workers 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 Xavier Giraldo, Benjamin von Mendelssohn and inhabitants of the peace village San José (Colombia).

In 2005 Sabine Lichtenfels held a meditation in Israel/Palestine in front of the separation wall near the small village Baqqa al Garbye. 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 peace workers 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 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. (See the text “What is GRACE?” below) 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 force 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 peace movements around the world now use this day as a day of remembrance and 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 GRADE 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.

Tamera - Holzer Permaculture - Seminar Series
Related to country: Portugal
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Practical seminar Series for Holzer Permaculture

First Seminar: October 5th - 12th

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 5th - 12th
Presentation: Sepp Holzer and the Tamera Ecology Team

During 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, 2009
Presentation: Sepp Holzer and the Tamera Ecology Team

General information:

Caminata por la vida - Grace Pilgrimage 2008
About the book: "Grace. Pilgrimage for a Future without War"
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Caminata por la vida - Grace Pilgrimage 2008

by the Global Campus, Tamera, Portugal, in cooperation with the Universidad de la Resistencia,
Colombia and the Peace Village of San José de Apartadó, Colombia

“Walking Together for Peace”

The Colombia Pilgrimage Appeal invites you to support this peace action.

Approximately 400 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!
A media team will accompany The Caminata por la Vida – Grace Pilgrimage 2008.

“Creating Knowledge for a Peace Culture”

Following the pilgrimage an Educational Camp is to take place from October 7th to October 17th in San José de Apartadó. This event will mark the start of the Global Campus. In cooperation with the Campesino University of Resistance (Universidad del la Resistencia), participants will learn ecological and technological strategies for sustainability and self-sufficiency, for social knowledge, for conflict resolution and community development for peace villages, for social sustainability as well as non-violent resistance – knowledge that is needed to develop stable, nonviolent and self-sufficient peace villages.

The teaching staff of the Educational Camp consists of:

Sabine Lichtenfels, founder of the Global Campus; Co-founder of the Peace Research Village Tamera, Portugal
Padre Javier Giraldo, Jesuit Priest, Human Rights Activist, mentor and tutor of the Peace Village of San José
Jürgen Kleinwächter, Physicist, Inventor, Specialist for decentralised solar energy, Lörrach, Germany
Sami Awad, Teacher for Non-Violence; Head of the Holy Land Trust, Bethlehem, Palestine
Gloria Cuartas, Human Rights Activist, Bogota, Colombia
Benjamin von Mendelssohn, Founder of the Peace Research Village Middle East, Tamera, Portugal, and others

The Caminata por la Vida – Grace Pilgrimage is an international peace action “in the Name of Grace.”
It is a concrete peace action as well as an exemplary initiative for the development of a global peace force for a future without war. We invite you to participate in the pilgrimage and the subsequent Educational Camp, and also hope you will support this action by financially sponsoring the participation of Colombian pilgrims.

The Peacevillage of San José de Apartadó
Eleven years ago the inhabitants of San José de Apartadó, located in the Northern part of Colombia, joined forces and founded the Peace Village. Between the fronts of the civil war they maintain non-violent resistance against murder and eviction. During these years more than 170 inhabitants of the village – women, men and children – were murdered by the military, paramilitary and the guerrillas. They suffered food blockades and energy shortages, and were attacked in many other ways. The Colombian government has so far refused to protect the village effectively; quite the opposite, President Uribe suspects them of cooperation with the guerrillas, thus declaring them to be outlaws. What is happening to San José is happening in this or in a similar way to many places on earth. It is a war of the armed forces, a war for power and natural resources against peasants and villagers who want nothing else but to live and work on their land. However, despite all attacks and threats, the inhabitants of San José carry on, practice the spirit of reconciliation, and work their fields.
Their vision is: a Colombia without war and displacement; a positive future for their children; a self-determined life in dignity; and a command of ecological, technological and social know-how for a sustainable life. Meanwhile they have found friends and partners all over the world supporting this vision. They have become the symbol for the hope of peace in Colombia. At least fifteen other Peace Village have sprung up. In 2007 the Aachen Peace Prize was awarded to San José de Apartadó followed by a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.The Peace Research Centre Tamera and the Peace Village of San José de Apartadó have been maintaining amicable relations for many years. Inhabitants have repeatedly visited Tamera and participated in the Grace Pilgrimage in Israel/Palestine. Andrea Regelmann and other members of the Colombia Team regularly visit the Communidad de Paz in order to help them with the school, the development of a health facility, and the installation of solar energy.

The leadership

Padre Javier Giraldo is a Jesuit Priest from Bogotà and a Human Rights Activist. For many years he stands up for the fate of the four million displaced peasants of Colombia. Because of his engagement and his clear commitment to truth and humaneness, he has lived under permanent threat of death for many years. Eleven years ago he encouraged the inhabitants of San José to found a peace village and helped them create the charter they live by. Since then he acts as their advocate and as the permanent mentor of the Comunidad de Paz.

Sabine Lichtenfels is a theologian, author, one of the “1000 Women for Peace” and co-founder of the Peace Research Village Tamera, Portugal. In the years 2005 and 2007 she led the Grace Pilgrimages through Israel/Palestine with up to 180 international participants. With her evolved knowledge of community she knows how to handle conflicts among different groups of people and how to turn antagonism into friendship, mutual understanding and solidarity.
In February 2007 she visited the Communidad de Paz as a guest and participated in an international meeting. This was when the idea of the Caminata por la Vida – Grace Pilgrimage was born. Sabine Lichtenfels coined the term “Grace” expressing a peace worker’s ethics.

“GRACE is the commitment to end it where ever you are rather than fuelling it. In the name of GRACE I am always looking for a non-violent solution, a solution which creates justice and healing and serves everyone involved. Judgmental behaviour is never an answer, instead, at times, voicing clear distinctions where ever they are necessary.GRACE says: I am willing to end war and to understand by which means this can be done and I am willing to put myself in the service of this solution.”
(quote from the book “GRACE – Pilgrimage for a Future without War” by Sabine Lichtenfels).

The Campesino University of Resistance
The University was founded by various Peace Villages and Human Rights & Peace groups. They convey the knowledge needed by campesinos, displaced persons, Indios and human beings living under the threats of war, to enable them to found and develop self-sufficient communities capable to defend themselves non-violently and to work their land in order to feed themselves.

The Global Campus
The Global Campus is a worldwide net of educational initiatives in the formative stages. In cooperation with its partners – the Holy Land Trust, Palestine; the Barefoot College in Rajastan, India, and the Peace Village San José de Apartadó - the Peace Research Village Tamera, Portugal, is to pass on peace knowledge at different places in the world with the intent of developing peace villages.
The subjects of study are permaculture, decentralized solar energy, low-cost architecture (clay buildings), conflict resolution and non-violence, as well as healing work and the release of traumas lodged in the core areas of the human being - namely love, sexuality, partnership and spirituality. Walking hand in hand and how you can participate!

The development of a global perspective for a future without war is based on the direct solidarity between human beings of the “first” and the “third” world – including financial solidarity. We therefore ask you to financially support the Caminata por la Vida – Grace Pilgrimage.
When the total costs of the action – including transport, food, organisation, technical gear and the travel costs for speakers (no speaker fees) – are divided by the number of participants, it adds up to EUR500 per person.

Adopt one (or more) pilgrim(s) and become his/her or their sponsor!

With each sponsorship of EUR500 you open up the possibility for one pilgrim from Colombia to participate!

Your participation in the Caminata por la Vida – Grace Pilgrimage is sincerely welcome! International participation is essential for all actions in Colombia. Only international escorts can protect the Columbian peasants and displaced persons from violations from the police, the military, the guerrilla and/or paramilitary groups. We therefore invite a limited number of international participants to take part in the Caminata por la Vida – Grace Pilgrimage.
For you the pilgrimage may turn out to be a special experience, a challenging time of personal growth, a time of awakening to the world situation and of becoming aware of your own power for change. It is a special experience to be hosted by the courageous people of a peace community, to experience their care and hospitality, their knowledge, their power of vision and to share their unbroken joy of life despite the attacks and threats they suffer.
The participation fee for the pilgrimage and the educational camp amounts to EUR 1.500 excluding your flight or any other travel costs. With this contribution you also finance the participation of two Colombian pilgrims.

Walking hand in hand – this motto is an invitation for direct financial solidarity.

GLOBALIZATION OF PEACE AND HEALING OF THE EARTH
About this event: Be the Change - Youth for a Future without War, Summeruniversity in Tamera, Portugal

GLOBALIZATION OF PEACE AND HEALING OF THE EARTH
THE CONCEPT OF GLOBAL HEALING BIOTOPES

(TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY STEN LINNANDER)

DIETER DUHM
TAMERA, MAY 2008


The apocalypse lies in the heart of the cells,
engraved in the genetic core of humanity,
as a result of a five-thousand-year-long era
of war and separation, violence and fear.
Our task is to change the core
with the help of a new code of life.

Humanity has reached a dead end street, which, if we continue down this road, can only lead to a catastrophic end. Forty years ago people were full of the illusion that everything could continue to go well, but today this illusion is gone. The number of human beings and animals that are killed every day has risen immeasurably and keeps on rising daily. In order to save life on earth and be able to look forward to a future worth living,we need a new starting point,a new mindset,a new essence in the innermost part of the whole.We need something that changes the entire organism ofhumanity.

To change a living system, we must change its operational center, its center of information, its genetic code. If one succeeds in inserting a new set of information at a central location,the entire system changes.The earth is such a system.The end ofglobal destruction is not a question of the exterior balance of power, but of the genetic information that is inserted into the overall organism.The organic world oflife functions according to the principles ofhomeopathy,which means that the overall organism is not changed by mega-systems but by micro-substances. An intelligent desire for overall healing definitively avoids the “gargantuan-mania”ofour time.

A future without war is a real possibility;it is contained as a possibility in the “implicit order”ofour world.We must create the necessary inner and outer systemic conditions in order to take it from the implicit order to the explicit (manifest) order. Relatively small groups,distributed across the earth,will suffice to give evolution a new direction.
The current globalization ofviolence can only be stopped and overcome by globalizing a new power of peace that is “stronger than all violence.”The creation of global peace requires a fundamental change in our forms of life, forms of love, forms of economy, forms ofvillages,forms ofthought and forms ofbelief.In the beginning,these new forms must be developed and tested within small pilot projects and research centers,before they can manifest globally. Global healing work therefore requires such centers.We call them “healing biotopes.”It is not the futurological super projects that are being planned today, but the small planetary models that take into consideration the innermost issues of human beings that will create the change needed today.
Healing biotopes are places where all those involved - human beings, animals,plants, nature spirits and cosmic beings - live together in joint evolution and cooperation. Old fears and separation are replaced by trust and contact.The reestablishment of TRUST is one of the most central tasks of planetary renewal. Healing biotopes are greenhouses of trust. Nonviolent cooperation, in solidarity between human beings and all fellow creatures,is a foundation for the coming era.

In order to reach this goal, we need to develop a way of living together that is free of fear and violence. The main area of crisis in our times lies in the relationship between human beings.Several thousand years ofwar history have deeply shaken the relationship of human beings to one another. The legacy of collective suffering has resulted in the creation ofhuman structures ofhatred,distrust,fear and propensity to violence, blocking all attempts toward peace.A collective trauma has imprinted itselfon the genetic core of humanity as a whole.Within the framework ofglobal peace work,we are now faced with the task of dissolving this traumatic core and the energies that are bound up in it and giving them a new, life-affirming direction. This is not individual therapy; it is a transformation of the deepest archetypal forces and images of the soul. The life images that have been characterized by thousands of years of persecution, separation and deprivation must be transformed into archetypal powers ofreunification,abundance and love; the matrix of separation must be transformed into the matrix of unity and a sense of belonging. The great transformation that is just beginning will not end before the powers ofreconciliation and solidarity with all beings have been fully imprinted into the mental, spiritual and bodily structures ofour existence,our brains and the nuclei of our cells. Humanity needs a new code of life. The genetic material must be reconditioned toward peace - not through technical genetic manipulation,but through new experiences in the great space ofour earthly-cosmic existence.

At the core of healing biotopes there is a new relationship between the sexes. The collective trauma relates especially to these relationships. Behind the anguish of unfulfilled love relationships and unfulfilled erotic dreams,there is a latent (or open) war between the sexes, which today claims more victims than traffic accidents. The world is suffering from lovesickness. Millions of lovers and married couples would give anything to experience again the joy that they shared with each other in the beginning. The unfulfilled longing for Eros, love, trust and a feeling of home is the core issue that lies behind all the facades ofour time.There can be no peace on earth as long as there is war in love. One of the most central tasks involved in the creation of a new culture is the dissolution of the trauma between the sexes and the restoration of an honest, happy life together between men and women. Only then can the subliminal potential of hatred be dissolved, so that children can grow up in a future worth living. We can only speak of “healing biotopes”when this,the most difficult point,has been fulfilled,at least in terms of intent, and when people are courageous enough to create new perspectives for the erotic core ofhuman culture.
In the living tissue ofthe earth,healing biotopes are small acupunctural centers with a few hundred inhabitants, who in their own lives are able to realize the new planetary forms of villages. The success of such models will determine if we can hope for a real future without war.

The new centers are very complex systems. Evolutionary success does not depend on strength but on complexity.The things that have been separated for a long time must be reunited with each other: Eros with religion, science with spiritual experience, archaic world consciousness with modern cosmology, indigenous tribal culture with modern organization, and female sources of knowledge with ecology and community. Art and ritual will come together,opening up the shared source from where they came.
A high level ofcomplexity means a high level ofsynergy.The healing effect ofthe new centers is not tied to any individual approach, but to the synergy of the whole.
Interdisciplinary work,based on mutual communication and transparency,is one of the preconditions for these new research communities. Ethics, being the connecting moral bond of the human family, will rediscover its authentic source in the truth and in being there for one another in functioning communities.The first thing that must be learned is to live in functioning communities. This was the first task of the project that we established thirty years ago - and it still is today.

The new centers are largely self-sustaining.Within the framework ofan economy with a high degree of self-sufficiency, new technologies are used in the areas of energy, information, water and food. The necessary knowledge is already largely available; the models have been developed and tested for the last thirty years, and they must now be combined in a productive way.The solar village that is being created in Tamera/Portugal (with the new solar technology ofJuergen Kleinwaechter) is a multifaceted attempt in this direction. It is to be combined with the ecological aquaculture and permaculture that have been developed by Sepp Holzer. Further developments will be added. Here, no doubt, further research is needed - as well as research money!
Healing biotopes are global research centers in which concrete peace research is conducted on the basis of living communities - thus the term “peace research village.”
This “peace”is meant to be global.Correspondingly,great emphasis is placed on creating models that can be generalized. Here, globality means generalizability. As soon as some core points and guidelines for the new villages of our planet have been found, a global field effect will arise on its own. The planetary organism then integrates the new information. In the social and cultural areas we get what Rupert Sheldrake called “morphogenetic field creation” in the area of biology. Comparable centers will be established at many places on earth.It is from a network ofsuch centers that the coming planetary civilization will emerge.
A new humane world can only arise through a fundamental change in the human being. It is not the technical mega-systems of current future planning, or colonies on Mars or floating cities that will bring peace. Instead, thanks to their highly complex structure and integration, and their activation of the powers of life embedded into the universal order oflife,it is small futurological models oflife that will change the genetic structure of the biosphere. They are the acupuncture points within the global organism ofthe earth.Ifsomething new occurs here - as in the acupuncture ofthe body - the whole shifts and changes.

In the name of love.
In the name of the children.
In the name of all living creatures.
