La Sierrita, Palomino, Enero 22, 2025
Dear Family and Friends,
We are very grateful 🙏🐸🙏 for your support and inspiration, that have empowered us to bring our dream to reality. This newsletter captures our 🙏 and summary of MMXXIV achievements.
Campus and Walking the Path of Sovereignty
2024 was a pivotal year for us. We went from living in the 🏞️ to scouting new properties and investments that were suitable for the university campus. We mapped out feasibility of the lands of la Sierra to host the students and floating population. The Sierra Nevada, has enough land to build this beautiful dream.
La Mussaenda New University Hub
In 2024 we met La Mussaenda, and made it a university hub in the center of Palomino, as it is a gem for digital nomads, progressive youth entrepreneurs that invest in Colombia. It is walking distance to the pristine Palomino River (~15 min) and the Caribbean Ocean (~ 30 min). The location offers plenty of adventures and a vibrant night life. We liked it so much, that we end up living there as a strategical place to create new alliances and meet more people interested in joining our dream. You are welcome to visit this amazing place!
MMXV: A Year to Connect With Your Own Serpent
In MMXXV, we will experience the energies of the serpent and completion, opening doors to start a new cycle in life. 2025 in the Chinese calendar is the year of the snake, symbolizing the caduceus ⚕️, a well known medical symbol. We are going from 8 (2+0+2+4=8) to 9 (2+2+5=9), Nine is a divine number and means completion. It means the serpent is finally catching its tail. The snake, like the anaconda, mother kundalini, reflects the moving of the waters, which is our internal waters, our maternal DNA, our memories of our ancestors towards healing and finding bliss 💃🕺. We are encouraged in 2025 to mix love and business wrapped together as one integrated package of entrepreneurs with family and friends. A great time for family planning, healing, self discovery, and engaging in your own Spiritual Life Vision Quest.
ParchesU.com: Friends building wisdom
We moved our teachings from the minkacenter.com website to Parchesu.com. The name aligns better with our new collective dream shaping what we envision for the Gnostic University.
Parche, is a slang word amongst the young progressive youth in Colombia. It means a group of friends hanging together. The university is composed of independent parches (like independent states), in sovereign land and characterize by a specialty (e.g. music, construction). Parches contain hubs where students and locals meet to learn, share wisdom and perform scientific research. The students will be building the campus over the next two years assisting and helping with the property development of the University.
Alliances
We received great support from family and friends, empowering us to visit sacred tribes in Colombia and connect with complementary projects to form alliances. The meetings helped us shape the Spiritual Vision Quest and the Path of the Jaguar Leadership, Wilderness and Adventure Camp upgrading our understanding of weaving these paths together to ensure a sovereign world and amazing campus and experiences for our students.
Arhuacos
We journeyed to the Arhuacos tribe capital, Nabusimake, starting a dialogue to collaborate spiritual life vision quests, sharing of ancient wisdom, and recovery of the land. See full report here 📖.
Nabusimake the ❤️ of 🌎
This town represent the heart chakra of Mother Earth. Where ideas from our heart our spoken and manifested.
Kammash-Hu
We visited the Kammash-Hu elders at Pueblo Santo near Barranquilla, south of la Sierra Nevada. They hold Colombian ancestral wisdom and rituals. Is one of the few tribes that connect with psilocybin mushrooms for healing work. We had a beautiful experience while looking the historic Puerto Colombia.
Wiwa Tribe, Cacaito and Ambrsia
Another important alliance was with the Wiwa Indigenous tribe, who have passed the magic of the cacao tradition through generations. Marie provided us with her wisdom about this food from the Gods. Her cacao is used for the create amazing products under the Ambrosia brand.
The magic of cacao inspired this song:
Cacao Ceremony with my Parche & Happy Inspirational Words
Ambrosia Magic Cacao for Twin Flames
One of the companies created at Parches is Ambrosia, a magic cacao for lovers. In Greek mythology, “Ambrosia” refers to the food of the gods. Food that was believed to grant immortality or longevity to whoever consumed it. This endeavor is lead by Steven and Valentina.
Custodians of the Holy Mountain
🙏 to our soul tribe, family neighbors, Myriam and David, for sharing resources in the mountain, for fixing the road, for the water pipes up the mountain, and for the connection to electricity.
David has a flying platform 100 m. below the castle, where we can spot parapentes gliding over the ocean, over the rivers, and kissing the peaks of the Sierra.
An added bonus to the university to have a flying school, where astrology, astronomy, physics will be co-studied in real time. New flying machines 🚀, 👍! 👀 4ward 2 it. This is the year that are we going to learn to 🦅 and we are very 💃🕺 about it.
K44 Twin Worlds
Our vision is to have a highly sensor monitored campus, to understand the mind, synchronicities, hidden patterns of the matrix, while we heal and create worlds. The K44 initiative, driven by Carlos and Carlos, father and son, use transmedia technologies to bring experiences in virtual worlds, incredible complementing the movie that tells the story of this dream: The Building of a New Earth Esperanza Movie.
University of Medellin – Meliponario
Let us present you a bee that doesn’t sting ➡️ Meliponas. Also called Angelitas, they belong to the family of stingless bees and produce excellent quality of honey that is used for medicinal purposes. We are weaving an alliance with the University of Medellin to become honey sovereign, while we learn and impart wisdom about this precious creature. Even scholars enjoy and smile with the tickling of a Melipona dancing slowly through his nose 😀.
US Generation Wealth Trusts
🙏Iryna and Tatiana for planning and discussing generation wealth and trusts for the students in our university. We found that a possible mechanism to provide generational wealth, via life trusts, are a great way for parents to fund their children’s education and Spiritual Life Vision Quest at the University, ensuring the children are using the family wealth wisely and consciously to creat a sustainable and prosperous world.
Casa Encuentro de Saberes
The alliance with the Casa Encuentro de Saberes, enables scholars at ParchesU to explore, visit, and participate in wisdom exchanges. Scholars benefit from the natural medicine, sonopuncture, and music therapy that the Casa provides. It is lead by Alejandro, a wise scholar of the campus.
Scholars
We are very grateful to Steven, for creating the logo, that we like soo much and that we brought from Minkacenter, allowing us to embed the essence of Minka in Parches 😀.
To all the scholars, youth, that crossed our path last year 🙏, inspiring us with ideas for a futuristic campus: Tati, Mr. Happy, Alejandro, Martin, Anisah, and Martin…
Botanical Garden
Our dream is to document species of trees and plants to better use our resource that Mother Earth give us. We continued the work of documenting species in the region, sharing wisdom of healing with natural remedies from la Sierra Nevada, as we walk the path of sovereignty.
La Sierra Nevada of Colombia is rich in plants, fruits, herbs, etc, 👍 4 our health. One tree friend excel in 2024, the candy of the forest, we called him, Mr. Mamoncillo.
Test Kitchen
Food is key to maintain our body healthy. We share insights and created new recipes. The biggest gift was when we moved to La Mussaenda, and got in contact with other food lovers. Master Chef Esperanza, delight us with a Christmas Focaccia. In our U🧪channel we share this and other 😉 recipes.
Vibrational Medicine
Intension is key on everything that we do. It is particularly important when we are creating remedies and essence from Mother Earth resources. We experimented and created oils and creams. We opened a new endeavor opportunity between friends advancing research on the properties of Calendula, Mussaenda and other flowers for the body, mind and spirit.
Faith and Miceheleium G Vibes Podcast
Our faith got stronger, while we interacted with indigenous tribes, scholars and parches. We realized that the fuel of live is the love and joy that we see in others when we reflect on them and they mirror us, understanding that we can uplift emotional state of others with just a smile.
We realized that we love doing what we do, creating awesome websites, recipes, songs, cosmology realizations, poems, projects, engaging with philanthropist, and sharing wisdom of tribes that hold ancient wisdom. The result is this web site, where the ❤️of our co-creation is represented in our podcast. It is our way to also practice our faith, since we study sacred teachings, create spiritual songs, discuss our life experiences, unravel miracles of live, and discuss a life of virtue.
Angels Investors
We greatly thank our Angel Investors that allow us to make our dreams come true: Sra Elba Bermudez, Nina Makarova, Nikolay Makarov, Lewis Bloom, Ella and Rob H., Brooke, Kona Wilkinson, Patricia and Gloria. God bless your kindness 🙏.
