Retrospective 2009: Inspiration, Vision, and Achieving

One year in Tamera

Tamera gives thanks for an extraordinarily rich year 2009. It was a year in which one could learn how inspiration leads to vision building, and how a vision gathers different forces to achieve a common goal. In many fields there have been new initiatives, growth, and decisions. At the end of the year there was a pilgrimage which connected us in a new way with the country of Portugal, the Testfield inauguration of the SolarVillage, which drew a lot of public attention, and the Global Grace Day, which connected many young people in the world in a spirit of a new beginning and reconciliation. more...

Regional network for sustainability

An applicable vision for non-complicity with the system of violence

In Tamera, the first results can be seen after one year of intensive work in order to become independent from industrial and globalized products. Together with local organic farmers and regional producers, Tamera is developing a network for sustainability and autonomy in food production. The short term aim is to stop buying food from supermarkets by the end of 2010, and to produce all the electricity we need in a renewable way. The long term aim is to create a model for a society which no longer uses any goods for whose production people, animals or landscapes had to suffer.
