The Summer University is over. In two night actions, the talks of the young people had been typed and delivered to the participants. Here are some excerpts.

Ten days where 400 people from 26 countries come together to ask, what can we do to manifest a peaceful earth?  Now that the Summer University is coming to a close, many people will go home, back to their home countries.  Everyone will go back to their daily lives.
Ludwig Schramm and Vera Kleinhammas gave the closing speeches. 
"There is a saying," Ludwig said,  "'Love is the war and sex is the battle.'  Instead we can say, 'Love is my religion and sex is my prayer.'".

A time of harvest. The daily schedule of the Summer University was interrupted today by a time of silence. All participants went by themselves on power walks or sat down at different places where they meditated, wrote down thoughts, and digested the intensive days, talks, thoughts, visions and encounters - one and a half hours of being with oneself to form a decision out of what we have taken in. Before that, two of the co-founders of the project, Dieter Duhm and Sabine Lichtenfels, described in powerful words the global thoughts of Tamera.

„Children trust in adults when they see what we do. If we do what we say, and if we go for something.“
This day was dedicated to the children of the world. Gabriele Brüggemann, leader of the place of the children, gave the morning talk in behalf of her young team. She reflected the theater play what we had seen the night before with great enthusiasm.

The Stone Circle of Tamera now has a stone for Tibet, and a gate with waving Tibetan prayer flags. Tibet has been occupied by China for half a century, with most cruel methods people were taken into concentration camps, monks are tortured, a whole country, its nature and culture is going to be destroyed. Tibet needs our clear statement now, a clear voice of the whole peace movement.

Are we able to accomplish worldwide peace through local actions? The focus was on the Global Campus today -- especially Colombia. Talks by Benjamin von Mendelssohn and Sabine Lichtenfels opened the participants for the thoughts of global healing.


Benjamin: "The political theory of the healing biotopes is for me a channel for the energy of impatience when I look at the situation in the world."


Sabine Lichtenfels took us on a "vision trip" for the global effectiveness of local actions. Using the example of Colombia, she related a story of how a nationwide change for peace can be initiated through real experience of community and peace education, as part of a global perspective.

About forty people from the Middle East are participating in the Summer University in Tamera - about half of them Palestinians, and half Israelis. The speakers today were a Palestinian and an Israeli: Sami Awad and Uri Ayalon, who come from different backgrounds and yet work for the same goal of a Peace Research Village (PRV) in the Middle East. Uri, who has been a Monte Cerro student for several months, gave a talk in which showed he showed his deep commitment for life and peace.

I want to share with you some thoughts about my life as a peace worker in training. The anger at injustice was seeded in my heart when I was a child. My parents told me that all the human beings are equals and that we have to share all that we have with everyone. But I couldn't understand why other people lived in the streets while we lived in a comfortable house. I became a little bit older and my parents warned me that if I tried any kind of drug, I'd end up being a junky. But I couldn't understand how that fit together with their own addictions like cigarettes, coffee and shopping.

Energy through trees, fuel out of micro algae, nutrition by edible landscapes and synthetic gardens - the gateway to the future was opened wide today on the Summer University. The theme of the day was energy autonomy; there were talks, walks, performances and experiments about solar energy systems and future technologies. An experimental performance demonstrated the burning of oxygen as an alternative to gasoline. Not only the Tibetan monks, but also the participants from the Middle East, were very interested in the solar training perspective, the planned TTT platform in Tamera (Technology, Training and Transfer).

„Every new development on earth can only happen if it has been SEEN before. It is this geistig seeing which leads to manifestation. All that comes together here in Tamera right now is part of global transformation.“ Words of the speech by Dieter Duhm with the titel Masterplan of a global healing project.

He invited to look through the gate of the future like it had been done in history again and again
