Most important with<strong>in</strong> the ecological concept <strong>of</strong> Tamera is a healthy<br />

social ecology among people. When the hidden resistance <strong>of</strong> fear and<br />

violence between people have disappeared, then self-heal<strong>in</strong>g forces <strong>of</strong><br />

love, trust and co-operation can unfold. Fear has to disappear first, as<br />

fear is the ecological bottleneck <strong>of</strong> communication among people and<br />

with nature. Lov<strong>in</strong>g without fear and liv<strong>in</strong>g without lies, this could be<br />

the motto for the Tamera project. But not regarded as a law. Anyone<br />

who wants to live and permanently work at this place can purchase his<br />

own power spot. The first group are build<strong>in</strong>g their cab<strong>in</strong>s close to each<br />

other to preserve the natural surround<strong>in</strong>gs. There is no one religious or<br />

spiritual commitment, but a communal direction which determ<strong>in</strong>es the<br />

character <strong>of</strong> the place. A number <strong>of</strong> courses and work camps are tak<strong>in</strong>g<br />

place all over the year, but it is necessary to call us, if you want to visit<br />

Tamera. Office time: Monday to Friday 9.00 -12.00 a.m. local time.<br />
