Changes

Among those groups inactive today is e.g. Sexpeace which may have been readjusted during its existence, since it is sometimes described as a group of artists while other reports speak of a "project to save free love".<ref>https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/de.org.ccc/Uu13kb3qzOk</ref> Similarly, the drama group "The Unredeemed" and the youth projects "Undersky" and "Jetzt e.V. - Youth developing the Future" have become inactive.

This is also true of an organisation ZEGG describes as a humanitarian aid project by the name of "Aktion Perestroika e.V." which, however, is still existant in a list of associations; although the address supplies a different street number which may be due to a simple typing error, the phone number listed is an extension of the ZEGG telephone number.<ref>http://www.vereinsverzeichnis.eu/verein,13617,.html</ref> The association Aktion Perestroika e.V. was founded in 1990 with the claim of providing humanitarian aid and donating respective goods to Russia; one founding member was Sten Linnander who according to information provided by himself previously had been a member of "Bauhütte" from 1983 on; he became the president of Aktion Perestroika. Prior to joining Bauhütte, Linnander is said to have been a member of Muehl's AAO at Friedrichshof.<ref name="nadir_all">https://www.nadir.org/nadir/archiv/Antifaschismus/Organisationen/zegg/brosch_rosa/zegg_all.html#xtocid323348</ref> Between 1994 and 2002, Linnander lived in Arizona where he says to have studied indigenous shamanism.<ref>http://p2pfoundation.net/Sten_Linnander</ref> Phoenix/Arizona is the home of the headquarters of [[Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society|Deer Tribe]], with whom ZEGG cooperates in Bad Belzig; several vendors from Deer Tribe offer seminars at their premises.

Another inactive project is "Haven Arctica" which was also directed by Sten Linnander; it used the motto "Melt your Hearts and not the Arctic" and meant to combine ''"ecological, political, and spiritual research matters for healing and protecting the Arctic with ideas for human healing"'', for which one intended to call and whistle for polar lights in the north of Sweden.<ref name="nadir_all" />

==Cooperation with other Vendors on the Newage Market==

==Cooperation with other Vendors on the Newage Market==

ZEGG has been cooperating with other vendors on the Newage market for years. Some of them also organise seminars at the ZEGG premises in Belzig, like e.g. the [[Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society|Deer Tribe]]. As Deer Tribe has strictly hierarchical structures, intends to create an elite, prepares for a 'race war' against migrants from Meso- and South America, and called for a civil war in case of Al Gore winning the presidential elections, for which case DT planned to join forces with extremist right US militias<ref>http://www.goodguyswin.org/information/XcIBViewItem.asp?ID=467</ref>, there should be a sharp contrast to the grassroots democracy and to consensus decisions claimed by ZEGG; however, there is a common ground regarding the mutual approach to the realm of sexuality. It may perhaps be seen as an indicator of an emphasis of issues when such a cooperation lasts for years, with Deer Tribe apparently also in a position to organise their courses in self-defence and seminars within the framework of their hierarchical Gateway Process at the ZEGG premises.

Several vendors of Deer Tribe e.g. offered seminars in Bad Belzig in 2013 and 2014. These are e.g. Swiss residents Sabina Tschudi and Johannes Schröder who organised a seminar on "Body De-Armoring" in August 2013, the course taking a fortnight at a fee of € 1,950 plus cost for accomodation and food payable to ZEGG.<ref name="seminare-externer-anbieter">http://www.zegg.de/de/seminarzentrum/seminare-externer-anbieter.html accessed 18.07.2013</ref> Tschudi and Schröder operate a "Stardreamer Lodge" of Deer Tribe in Switzerland.

Fink and "Batty" Gold also did seminars on "Quodoushka 1" and "Quodoushka 3" which is said to enable a "shamanic approach to sexuality". Gold, an Austrian citizen, too, is a long-term member of the cult and also lived in its headquarters for years.<ref name="seminare-externer-anbieter" />

ZEGG further cooperates with plastic shaman Francis Talbot who poses as a Wampanoag Indian and medicine person and goes by the name of "Manitonquat" (Medicine Story). Zegg as well as Tamera have been cooperating with Talbot since 1992.<ref>http://www.communiversitymagazine.org/web%20pages/Circle%20Way%20Village.html accessed 18.07.2013</ref> In the section "Voices on ZEGG" at the ZEGG website, they publish a comment from Talbot whom they describe as a "spiritual teacher": ''"Thank you for having the courage to love, to live your dream and reach for rainbows.“''<ref>http://www.zegg.de/de/zegg-gemeinschaft/stimmen-zum-zegg.html accessed 18.07.2013</ref> ZEGG, and Tamera, came to aid in 2006 when Talbot, according to his claims, had run into problems with payments on the mortgage for his premises in the USA, and were apparently able to collect the amount necessary within short notice.<ref>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DisabledGreensNews/message/6261 accessed 18.07.2013</ref>
