I recently helped out with the development of a new website for Tamera, an intentional community dedicated to global peace. The website has gone live, and is a HUGE improvement on their previous website. Check it out here.
Dear carriers and supporters of the Tamera website!
On February 3, our new Tamera website went online finally – after 18 months of hard work. Hallelujah!
The first wave of feedback we received from the community here and our international network has been overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic.
We are proud of this work and, already now, we can say that this project is a success! We’re deeply grateful for the contribution of each one of you, without which this achievement wouldn’t have been possible.
More than 40 people worked actively on the website and another (around) 30 people helped in supporting the website (please see detailed list below).
For us, this was an unprecedented collaboration between community members and (external) professionals. A project of such a dimension and with such a broad support of external supporters was something new for Tamera and could serve a working model for our future projects. We especially want to honor that all of you professionals, who could have spent their name in well-paid jobs, offered your workforce and your commitment so selflessly in service. It was a real gift of love to the vision and work for which we developed the website and it’s incredible that we could build such a high quality website without contracting anyone. This power of commitment, anchored in the heart and the global consciousness, is what really makes miracles possible, as we all could experience together – time and again.
We also want to mention and honor that the process of creating this website was important for Tamera itself. Because as a community we became more and more clear about our position in the movement for global transformation – as a “Peace Research & Education Center.” The clear definition of our research areas and the birth of a new education structure were central outcomes of this process and will strongly determine Tamera in the time to come.
So, once again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH… And, for us this is really just the beginning of creating a broader communication strategy for Tamera and the Healing Biotopes Plan. In that sense, we look forward to our future collaboration!
With warm greetings, in solidarity and love,
Andy, Martin & Janni
