The Castillo Santa Maria de la Mar is the heart of the University Campus at the Esperanza.land . It serves as the sacred place for 7 twin flames and main research activities, for melipona bees, astronomy, devolpment of flying machines and more. It requires funding for phase 2, for 1) infrastructure improvements walking the path of sovereignty, and 2) Multimedia communications for movie recording, transmitting lectures, and connection to the Aurora Network.
The Castillo Santa Maria de la Mar (Castle of Santa Maria of the Seas) is the first Minka Center in Colombia, at eSperanza Land. Minka Centers, serve as main centers for parches, sharing space for ceremonies and research.
The castle is a maloka in the mountains of la Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta. It is an open temple with three floors. It serves as an eco lodge, healing center, ceremonies center and main facility for sharing ancestral wisdom.
Here are some videos, so you can experience the essence of the 🪄🦄🪄 of the castle.
The construction started in Dec 2022 and the roof was available in early 2024. The founders of the university lived in 2003 in the castle, complementing their hieros gamos journey by connecting with the spirits of la sierra, learning to live with the basic elements, enjoing the pumpkin from their land, and hosting various sacred medicines ceremonies. In March 2024 Esperanza and Luis moved to Marquetalia and Palomino central locations to make their dream a reality. They curently live in La Mussaenda, a center for performing arts in la Sierrita, pathway to the indigenous tribes of the Sierra Nevada, the new tibet of ancestral wisdom.
The maloka requires finishing the construction to make it safely available for living, soul tribe gathering, lectures, ceremonies, etc., as well as basic infraestructure resources to make the land completely sovereign and disconnect from the grid.
Phase 1 of the university was to build the barebones of maloka in la Sierra Nevada. This was partially completed in 2023. Phase 2 is to update the structure for safety, for enabling proper communication systems, to transmit the lectures, and to finish the construction to host 7 couples in the third floor, as well as allow 100 people attending an event.
The Maloka is 20 min walking up the mountain, and currently has no electricity and water connection. Devices are charge with solar panels and water is capture from the rain.
