Plan Your Stay
Welcome to Tamera – a peace education and research community. As an emerging Healing Biotope we aim to live in contact with the sacred alliance of life by honoring social, ecological and ethical principles based on cooperation and trust.
Our vision is:
To birth Terra Nova – a world beyond war – by building Healing Biotopes as centers to research and model a new planetary culture.
We offer to share our learning and support people around the world who share our vision of a planetary culture of autonomous and interconnected communities, a post-patriarchal civilization free of violence and war. With our 40 years of experience we know about the importance and balance of inner and outer peacework required to affect change individually, regionally, nationally and globally.
