The Tamera & ZEGG Festival – From Crisis To Connection

Be(coming) human

11. - 15.08.2027

See the Festival - Homepage for more detailed information on the festival.

Join us for the second edition of the English-speaking Tamera & ZEGG Festival, where two visionary intentional communities – Tamera (Portugal) and ZEGG (Germany) – come together to explore the foundations of a peaceful culture.

Rooted in decades of lived community experience, we harvest practical wisdom and open a field of loving presence, deep encounters and collective exploration.

Together we create a space to remember, rediscover, and embody what it means to be(come) human.

What if becoming human is not about becoming better, more evolved, or more complete, but about deepening our connection to life, to each other, and to ourselves?

BE – We are already human. Something within us is already whole.

COMING – We are on a lifelong journey of discovering what it means to live our humanity more fully.

Our societies carry the wounds of collective trauma, generations of separation, and a profound loss of belonging. Particularly in Europe, histories of violence, displacement, and disconnection have left us deeply uprooted – from the land, from each other, from spirituality, and from our sense of being part of a greater living whole.

In a world that increasingly emphasises individual achievement, independence, and self-optimisation, we often forget that becoming more fully ourselves is not something we can do alone.

We become ourselves through relationship.

Through trust, honesty, vulnerability, and mutual support, we can begin to understand and transform the patterns of fear and separation we have inherited. We can rediscover what it means to belong – to one another, to the land, and to the sacredness of life.

Community can offer a space for this journey. Not as an escape from the world, or a place where everyone has already found the answers, but as a living field of learning, healing, and remembering.

BE(COMING) HUMAN is an invitation to explore this journey together. The festival offers a small taste of what community can make possible: how being held in connection with others can help us become more deeply ourselves, rediscover our roots, and experience the transformative power of belonging.

Perhaps becoming human is not about becoming someone else, but about finding our way back to who we are – together.
