About the book: "The Sacred Matrix"

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Dear Friends of Tamera,

"Change has come." US-President-elect Barack Obama has inspired millions of people with these words, regardless of how his politics will turn out. For example, a group of artists ("The Yes Men") published a fake issue of the New York Times with visionary headlines like: Iraq War Ends. We will know how big the movement has become when we can really mean these words -- in all their depth, and worldwide: "Change has come."

The change that Mother Earth needs, just like all her inhabitants do, is a worldwide coexistence without borders, in truth, trust and mutual help, with fulfillment in love, and a life without the exploitation of nature. We cannot wait any longer. Some of us were confronted with just how necessary this change is on our visit to the Colombian peace village of San José de Apartadó.

Eventually it will not be presidents and parties who bring this change about. Taking a closer look, we see that change already has started in many places. Tamera in Portugal is on the way to becoming such a planetary healing center. In this newsletter you will read about the current developments of Tamera and its peace work worldwide.


News from Tamera:
Global Grace Day: On November 9th, groups and individuals worldwide participated - from Katmandu to Nairobi, from San Francisco to indigenous villages in Colombia - and opened up for the thoughts of Grace: "Where there was pain, let healing awaken. Where there was anger, let the power of change emerge."
On the website www.global-grace-day.com you can find the complete meditation text by Sabine Lichtenfels as well as some short reports, pictures, and videos of the activities. You will see that some amazing things happened in the name of Grace.

You have two more chances to visit Tamera this year: "Tamera Introduction and Study Days in the Advent" is ten days of communal learning and celebration from December 6th to 16th. You are invited to spend this time in the Guest Center of Tamera, to get to know the vision and the life of Tamera, to be inspired by it, and to have it impact your life perspective, activities and surroundings. We also expect Tibetan friends from Dharamsalla during this time. More about the Advent Days at: www.tamera.org/index.php?id=517
And for the first time we are inviting guests to celebrate New Year's Eve with us - from December 27th to January 6th in Tamera and at the ocean for a special, deep and inspiring way to start the New Year. More: www.tamera.org/index.php?id=519

Grace-Pilgrimage in San José de Apartadó in Colombia: More than twenty co-workers and students from Tamera and nearly 150 people from Colombia and other countries took part in the Grace Pilgrimage near the peace village of San José de Apartadó from October 1st to the 6th, led by Sabine Lichtenfels, Benjamin von Mendelssohn, and Padre Javier Giraldo of Bogotá.

The complete diaries of the journey can be found here: www.grace-pilgrimage.com

Next Permaculture seminar with Sepp Holzer in January: In October, during the last permaculture workshop with Sepp Holzer, a new water landscape was created in Tamera. The former valley garden was rebuilt into an ecological model for food autonomy and the recultivation of destroyed landscapes. The next seminar with Sepp Holzer will be from January 28th to February 4th, 2009, when interested people can learn how to build water landscapes, ponds, wet and dry zones, and biotopes for natural purification. Everyone who knows Sepp Holzer knows that this will be an intensive learning time about very practical and comprehensive ecological thinking and action.
More seminars with Sepp Holzer in 2009: April 12th - 19th, June 3rd - 10th, September 25th - October 2nd, and December 2nd - 9th. More at: www.tamera.org/index.php?id=480

Plans and projects in Tamera: The first three-year Monte Cerro Peace Education will come to an end on April 30, 2009, when it will be time to evaluate the peace study and to find new concepts for the future. From January to April students and co-workers will live together and have an intensive community time.
The financial structure of Tamera is also being changed. It will be more decentralized and oriented more toward self-sufficiency. We will tell you more in a few weeks.

Many networking trips during this Fall took Tamera coworkers and students to different countries. Tamera was represented on four continents. Some examples: www.tamera.org/index.php?id=522
Tamera co-workers were seen e.g. at Bioneers Conference, in Findhorn ecovillage in Scotland, in Damanhur - ecovillage in Italy, in Kenya - interviewing Wangari Matthai from the Greenbelt Movement, and of course in Bogota and San Jose de Apartado in Colombia, in Iceland - at Global Ecovillage Educators for a Sustainable Earth - preparing the next Ecovillage Design Education in Tamera next May, and more trips e.g. to Hawaii - Youth Leadership Training, ...

We want to deeply thank all those who helped by their invitations, their generosity and their hospitality to make this journeys possible. The friendships have deepened by this and made it possible that Tamera is growing into the world.
Heartful regards!
