Online Course: Introduction to Tamera

Dara Silverman: Hi my name is Dara and I live here, in Tamera, a peace research and education center and an emerging healing biotope. This project was founded in 1978 in Germany, and moved to Portugal in 1995. Today around 200 people are living and working here towards an autonomous, decentralized model for a future without war. It’s a really complex project working on system change in all important areas of life.

Dara: We’re offering an introduction to Tamara online course trying to grasp the complexity of this project. Throughout one week we’ll use texts videos and live talks to try to convey the research insights and challenges with you. For now I want to take you on a really quick tour through the land and sub-projects of Tamara. Let’s go.

Dara: This is one of the rain basins in Tamera’s water retention landscape. It provides us with regenerative water autonomy, and no less important a growing consciousness of abundance.

Dara: Here we can explore one of tamara’s organic vegetable gardens. Following principles of ecosystem restoration, we’re working towards regional food sovereignty.

Dara: The sun radiates far more energy than all the needs of humanity. On sunny days this Scheffler Mirror provides the meals for 50 people in our solar test field. On cloudy days we use different models of biogas digesters. This technology transforms our kitchen scraps into gas for cooking and into a powerful living fertilizer for our soils.

Dara: Here many of the elders and artists of our community are bringing their knowledge into practice in the areas of herbal medicine, textile upcycling, art and pottery.

Dara: The children’s project supports the next generation to stay curious and trustful, and to develop into autonomously thinking people that will responsibly co-create this world.

Dara: We’re exploring communication between people and horses. Learning new ways of perception centeredness and awareness.

Dara: This is terra deva a place for spiritual ecology. Here we research the communication with animals plants and spirits.

Dara: We believe that a non-violent culture depends on ending the war in love. Tamara’s love school focuses on consciousness work and on developing a community life where healing and trust can happen in the areas of love and sexuality.

Dara: This is our political ashram. The place for internal education to expand our awareness and connect to the divine nature of life.

Dara: This is a forum it’s a tool for transparency and inner transformation it was developed over many years of researching the importance of daring truth for building community.

Dara: The stone circle is located at the heart of Tamara. Here we connect with the cycles of life and death. Trying new and old paths to connect with what we call the sacred matrix.

Dara: This is where the online education team is working. The institute for global piecework has the task to build a network for people and movements around the globe.
