Sabine Lichtenfels - in the Name of Grace
To all Peaceworkers,
With this Ring of Power we warmly recommend the meditation for the Global GRACE Day and invite all of you to participate The Global GRACE Day will take place in one week´s time, on November 9th.
At that time I will be in the North of Portugal to quietly take stock and bring in the harvest of this past year.
During this year the network of peace forces Tamera cooperates with has grown to such a large extent that we are confronted with many new conceptual questions. I shall therefore spent the Global GRACE Day at a place in nature, in quietness, while contemplenting these challenges.
This year the organisation of the meditations, concerts and other events are being handled by some of the young people of Tamera. I thank them for their exeptional committment and will now pass over the word to them.
Dear Peace workers worldwide, dear friends,
For us, the Global Grace Day is a day of planetary friendship and hope which we will celebrate together with our beloved ones and cooperation partners in all over the world. It is day where we learn to stay with GRACE in all things we do.
We will spend this day in Lisbon together with Portuguese friends and bands and have a day of celebration. Others of us will be in Berlin at the same time and hold a creative meditation at the Holocaust Memorial. In Sao Paulo, Claudio Moura de Miranda, a Brazilian peace worker and musician will make a big feast of music and peace in the slums that are usually dominated by the drug war. Also people of different indigenous tribes will take part and peace workers in crisis areas and other parts of the Earth will join in. This day is a meeting point of the Movement for a Free Earth, many people who connect all over the world with the strong commitment to create peace wherever they are. This is what revolution means to us. Mutual support and unconditional understanding because you have a common goal. May this day help to rise of field of truth on this planet Earth!
In the name of GRACE and the Movement for a Free Earth!

Text of Empowerment: Global GRACE Day
Meditation by Sabine Lichtenfels
Where there was pain, let healing awaken.
Where there was anger, let the power for change emerge.
Where there was fear, let safety and trust grow.
Where there were enemies, let the awakening of mutual compassion begin.
Where there was oppression, let freedom reign.
Where nations were divided, let sympathy for planet earth lead to shared responsibility.
We have come as a reminder:
If we want planet earth to survive, then all the walls of separation must fall, the walls between peoples, between Israel and Palestine, between Europe and Africa, between the so-called first and third world. And likewise with the walls that we have erected in our own psyches, the walls between the genders, and the walls between humans and all creatures.
May all displaced people find a home. May the pure indigenous wisdom and source gain recognition and respect. May the people who are willing to risk their lives for truth and justice receive the protection they need. May the voice of justice and truth and compassion and solidarity with all beings be heard all over the world, and may it spread and become a powerful movement that stands for the protection for life and planet Earth. May the seed of peace communities blossom and may the first self-sufficient communities be a sign and show that it is possible to develop societal systems which resonate with the universal laws of love and compassion, and of truth and abundance of life. May we become carriers of hope for all who come after us.
May we set visible signs which show that the eternal life will win over all systems of wrong power, of destruction and exploitation.
We have come as a reminder of the original beauty and truth of life:
Every living being has a right to be free and to unfold, a right to love, and a right to genuine truth and trust. Let us set examples for overcoming violence wherever we are. Let us stand up for life and for love so that fear can vanish on earth. Let us form a worldwide circle of power to safeguard all creation.
In the name of all those who had to give their lives, in the name of justice and truth, in the name of all that has skin and fur. In the name of all creatures, and in the name of GRACE and the movement for a free earth.
May this prayer or something better come to be.
Thank you and Amen.
Sentence of Empowerment: Where there was anger, let the power for change emerge.
