Sabine Lichtenfels
Born in 1954, Sabine Lichtenfels, a theologian and one of the women listed in "1000 Women for for the Nobel Peace Prize 2005".
Sabine Lichtenfels is the founder of the "Grace Foundation for the Humanization of Money" and a co-founder of the peace research center Tamera in Portugal.
She is engaged in international peace work with a focus on the Middle East and has led several peace pilgrimages through Israel and the West Bank (2005, 2007) and through Colombia (2008) with up to several hundred participants. In 2009, she led a 240-kilometer pilgrimage through Portugal with the focus of awareness on forgiveness for the immense violence which has been inflicted on the peoples of the planet throughout many years of history up to today by powers which have their origins in Europe, and on reconnecting with the peaceful tribal roots which predated those destructive forces in Europe.
One strong basis for her political work is the reconciliation of the sexes and a new women's consciousness - issues in which she has worked for more than 30 years, both in theory and in practice. With her feminine wisdom and radical commitment, she is an ambassador for a global peace perspective.
