Join us for the second year of an inspirational gathering where two visionary intentional communities – Tamera (Portugal) and ZEGG (Germany) – come together to explore elements of a new, peaceful culture. In a spirit of co-creation, we will inquire into how love, community and trust in life can guide us towards building a culture of inner and outer peace in these challenging times.
Born in 1978 with a small group, Tamera has grown into a community of around 160 people (plus a growing international network) committed to building decentralized, autonomous models for a post-capitalist world.
We believe in a future without war and in love without fear. Our mission is to build “Healing Biotopes” — research-centres that serve as examples and laboratories for a new planetary culture based on strong ethical foundations.
Our vision is “Terra Nova,” a planetary culture built on a network of non-violent, decentralized, autonomous communities that live in cooperation and trust.
Founded in 1991, the combination of living community and educational centre makes ZEGG a special place. In the midst of our social and ecological model project, living and learning are interwoven.
Our educational programmes impart lived knowledge and offer experiential spaces that combine self-responsibility, touchability and open communication. In this way, we promote social change - towards more awareness, cooperation and sustainability. Our seminars focus on topics such as communication and social competence, art and ecology, love and relationships and community building.
From this point on, the information on this website refers to this year's festival, which took place in June. We will update this page as soon as new information about next year's festival becomes available.
At this festival, we want to harvest what has been learned in the work of Tamera and ZEGG, while together exploring — as a community — what is needed in this unique and challenging moment, both individually and collectively.

Opening circle, shared dinner, and guided dyads to arrive within. Context input on grief, spacious Popcorn Sharing, and ending in noble silence.
