Tamera has invited water specialists and policy makers of many countries. Examples like the water retention landscape of Tamera shall show how desertification can be reversed and the water cycle in all climate zones of the Earth can be cured. Among the speakers are: Sepp Holzer, permaculture specialist and rebel farmer from Austria, who supports groups building water retention landscapes in many countries, Rajendra Singh, "Water Gandhi" who has built hundreds of lakes in Rajasthan, John D. Liu, a film maker who accompanies large scale landscape healing projects in China and the USA, Madjid Abdellaziz, founder of Desert Greening, Algeria, Nora van Cauwenbergh, UNESCO, Belgium, Martin Vilela, Fundación Agua Sustentable, Bolivia, and many others.
Most
of the so-called "natural disasters" that we experience all over the
world today are human-made disasters caused by an incorrect handling of
the elements and beings of nature. If humankind wants to survive on this
planet, we must learn to think differently and to cooperate with the
forces of nature. This is where water could be our best teacher.
We have convened this symposium to introduce a concept – through the
example of the water retention landscape of Tamera – of how
desertification can be reversed and the water cycle cured in all climate
zones of the Earth within a short period of time. Water experts,
politicians, scientists, media representatives and specialists from
around the world are invited to this conference to share their
knowledge, exchange ideas and present their work publicly.
Water
is not a chemical formula, but a central organ of the biosphere, in
which almost all the secrets of the universe are included. The proper
handling of water shows us how we can change destroyed landscapes back
into blossoming gardens again. It shows us how we can live on a planet
that is able to provide all living things – for free! – with enough
water, food and energy. And it shows us how to connect the cosmic and
earthly realities in a way that a global culture of peace emerges from
it.
Building water retention landscapes is in most places of the
Earth the first step for the healing of nature and the development of
modern subsistence economies. They form the basis for a comprehensive
future perspective, for the liberation from dependency and exploitation
and a future without war, which the Tamera founder Dieter Duhm described
in the "Plan of the Healing Biotopes". This plan explains why only a
few such centres worldwide could suffice to "tip" the information system
of violence. All speakers and participants at the conference are
invited to learn about this plan and participate in its implementation
The water retention landscapes are an integral part of special training
centres as part of the Global Campus, which besides the global
ecological issues also addresses the technological, intellectual,
spiritual and social problems and develops an appropriate solution as a
model. Preparations for the establishment of such centres are actually
happening in various countries right now.
In the name of a future worth living!
Welcome.

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PDC VerifiedPeople who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation. |

PDC TeacherPeople who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world. |

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
