Terra Nova describes a vision for a new culture: an Earth free of war, a society free of violence, a love free of lies, and a life free of fear. The author outlines this new Earth not only in theory, but also writes from his direct experience of its emergence. This book presents the essence of nearly forty years of pioneering work in establishing functioning communities. "How do we generate a new form of humaneness based on trust and mutual support? Where could the solution for the topics of sex, love, and partnership be found? How could the human community be integrated into the community of all beings and eventually into the order of the universe? Only if we succeed in answering these questions can global healing be possible." The book is a blueprint for the creation of a society based on trust: trust among people, trust between people and animals, and an original trust in life.

A BEAUTIFUL AND REALIZABLE PATHWAY TO PEACE

March 30, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

In the Terra Nova book, Dieter Duhm offers a comprehensive vision of a concrete utopia grounded in nearly forty years of research in community. What he details is literally a New Earth evolving not from our shared human history of war and collective trauma but rather from the newly emerging information field of peace. This is a world based on trust and mutual support, ending the long assault against life and love characterizing the patriarchal period of the last five thousand years. Essential to this work, this revolution, is “issue number one,” the restoration of the proper relationship between the sexes, the freeing of love and sexuality from existing patterns of power and control and, most importantly, from fear.

Inspiring a practical utopia

February 22, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

While psychotherapy addresses healing on the individual level, Duhm encourages us to consider the diseases that psychologically afflict us from a cultural, global perspective. Terra Nova explores how to build new communities or “healing biotopes” that eradicate fear and celebrate the transformations that arise from fulfilling our basic human needs for trust, love, and connection. A read that Inspires us to challenge the core beliefs and cultural norms that have been formed though centuries of war, patriarchy, and violence, to risk a paradigm shift that will heal the collective and fulfill the ideal of heaven on earth.

Really good

November 7, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It was a really good journey through the concepts at tamera and what they’re trying to work towards. I found it very helpful and interesting and gave me quite a lot to think about concerning community, capitalism, society and spirituality with a nice new lens towards a future construction of a new global society.

Not That Resonant

January 4, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

"Terra Nova" is a book written by an old German man named Dieter Duhm who founded an intentional community called Tamera in Portugal in 1995. The book is about his worldview as lived out in the past twenty years at Tamera.

Much of their study at Tamera has gone into researching the sexual dynamics between men and women. Here is an excerpt along these lines:

Basic Guidelines for Love [p. 120]
- Love is the ultimate treasure of human culture.
- Trust between man and woman is the basis of a future without war. Never lie to your love partner.
- You can only be faithful if you are allowed to love others. Free love and the love between a couple are not mutually exclusive, but complementary.
- Jealousy is not part of love.
- Partnership does not derive from mutual possession, but only from mutual compassion and support.
- Sadism and masochism are the result of humanity’s mistreatment of sexuality. Violence is not part of sexuality and submission does not belong to love.
- No sex with children.
- Sexual acts must never be conducted against the will of any person.
- There is no ownership in love. Relationship problems cannot be solved legally, but only with the help of a supportive community.
- If you have a choice between love and something else, follow love.

Although the language in the book was great [using terms such as Field of Potentiality, Implicate Order, Morphogenetic Field, Akashic Records], I didn't feel a strong resonance with the book. I live and work in communities looking at some of the global issues that Tamera has been involved with, but for some reason I feel a bit of a cultural disconnect with this piece.

Duhm brings Christ into the picture again and again. A bold move; most modern alternative communities stay clear of religious figures. But I think that Duhm has found a way to work with the Christian archetype that doesn't detract from his message.

As a side note, something I noticed about this book was it's poor printing quality. Usually I don't pay any attention to printing quality [except when it's outstanding, such as with letter press books]. But the side of the page closest to the binding was often streaky and faint in my copy. Apparently the publisher is at Tamera, so maybe they don't have professional quality printing equipment.

I wish everyone would read this book and take it to heart before we completely ruin the planet!! Tamera is leading the way in how a community should be built and blossom. They don't have all the answers but ask the questions regarding the possibilities.

A very clear powerful and inspiring vision of peace on earth, based on 30 years of living in a peace research community in Portugal. I have been there! And they really are moving toward and living in a replicable model for peace on earth!

Format: Paperback

This is one of the most powerful books I've read on impending Great Transition. It should be required reading for anyone interested in exploring what the post-capitalist world could look like.

I've actually written a book review on Terra Nova, contrasting it with another popular account of what will happen to the planet in the next 20 years, The Collapse of Western Civilization. You can read the review here:
