Visiting Tamera with Children
Given the present global situation, many parents are seeking prospects for a life worth living for themselves and their children, as well as alternatives to existing educational systems.
As a result, many families are exploring alternative forms of living and community building and wish to learn from Tamera.
We would love to support this search as much as possible; however, at present, we are not able to offer special times during which parents can visit with their children.
In general, we recommend visiting Tamera without children for a first visit. A first experience at Tamera is often exciting, moving, and inspiring, and sometimes even turbulent and life-changing.
In order for you to fully immerse yourself in your own experiences within a group or course, we recommend that your first visit be without children.
Current possibilities
As we do not currently have the capacity to offer meaningful integration for children while parents participate in courses, family visits are not regularly possible at this time.
However, we hope to be able to create special times again in the coming years during which families are welcome.
Occasionally, though, the team of a hands-on-time does have the capacity to receive families and include them in the experience.
For further information on what is currently possible, please send an email to our guest centre.

Our Children’s Place
The “Children’s Place” plays an important role in building a Healing Biotope. Alongside the fundamental question of how children grow up in community, we are deeply engaged in accompanying children in the process of learning.
At the moment the children learn through home education (homeschooling) and are prepared for the official Portuguese equivalency exams (provas de equivalência). We also carry a vision for a free school, “Escola da Esperança“, but haven’t been successful with the legalization yet.
In our on-site course “Introduction to Tamera”, you will gain insight into the work of the Children’s Place, the vision of the “Escola da Esperança” and our approach to raising children in community.
A deeper look into the topic is offered in our online course on “Raising Free Children“, which looks at childhood development and draws on the decades of experience gathered in our community.
In case you are interested in getting to know our learning space, the team at the Children’s Place regularly offers open days with a guided tour and Q&A session. For the concrete dates, please contact them directly at: office (at) escola-da-esperanca.org
As the daily life and learning of the kids needs continuity, we’re unfortunately unable to temporarily integrate guest children into our learning spaces.
