Common Vision
The university is the fruit of the experiences and reflections of Nadezhda Makarova (Esperanza) and Luis Bermudez (Lucho) regarding the need for creating a more harmonious and peaceful world grounded in the teachings of Mother Earth, a space for conscious creators, and connecting us with our true purpose of our soul.
Here is the story of their lives, injustices and the reason to being inspired to create a new world in peace and harmony.
In 2001, they created the Minka Center in the US. A family center where based on an infusion Montessori/Waldorf system and the use of Earth Medicines, empowered individuals to find their own life purpose, while healing themselves and families, by walking the path of sovereignty. In 2023 they moved to la Sierra Nevada in Colombia, to support a new way of living, by creating the foundation of a Gnostic University of Philanthropy to support a world of peace based on sovereign land from the ground up, by developing the concepts of parches, villages and micronations.
Common Tapestry Weaving for a World of Peace
Their relationship based on their astrology archetypes and the current universal energies that rule the world make them a “power couple” to build peace on earth. Here is the analysis:
They both emigrated to the US. Each one of them had three children and both had a son that was categorized as a challenged kid. Both kids had IEPs and went through multiple doctors including psycologists. They both found a better way by creating a new learning way that encompasses a thriven environment, using of Earth Medicines and conscious educators using philosophies of education like Waldorf’s and Montesori’s philosophies.
Esperanza and Lucho have both lived and traveled abroad extensively giving them a progressive understanding of cultures. Both have 3 children and have advanced research on using earth medicines to heal body, mind and spirit. They both have kids with challenges and they dreamed of a university where children can thrive by transitioning the use of synthetic drugs to the use of earth medicines in a proper environment.
They are passionate about fostering an environment, in peace and harmony with Mother Earth and our own nature. An environment where humans can thrive, following their own passion and freedom to build a new world, for humanity and by humanity, paved by the Aquarian Age.
They met in 2020 and agreed to walk the path of ascension following the spiritual teachings of Samael Aun Weor, in particular the Three Mountains by enhancing the path with Earth Medicines. After experimenting themselves and learning from hundreds of clients they develop the soul reading methods, as well as archetype astrological matching. They found a way to proper use Earth Medicines to heal karma, open consciousness and live in dharma.
💃🕺 opened the 1st Minka Center in Gaithersburg, MD in 2021 and the 2nd one in la Sierra Nevada in Colombia in 2023. The centers infused Luis’ and Nadezhda’s backgrounds creating unique learning and healing centers.
The centers provide teachings on gnosis and sacred union principles based on modern gnosis textbooks of Samael Aun Weor, enabling individuals to find their purpose in life, aligned with a grandiose purpose of building a thriving world in peace and harmony.
The centers also provide a place for hosting earth medicines ceremonies and advancing medical research. They are also based on Montessori and Rudolf Steiner philosophical approaches, including expressive dance and holistic healing, in particular, for youth with social and learning challenges.
Music Always in our Hearts
Esperanza has always being connected with the world of music. In her childhood years weekends were full of celebration. The immigrant Russian Families in Melbourne met and honored their culture around Bayas, Accordions and Balalaycas. Her father played the accordion and harmonica. Her Mother, was the director of the church choir, and was singing all day long joyful tunes.
Lucho, is the son of one of the most famous musicians in Colombia, Lucho Bemudez, who composed more than 1000 songs and is considered the father or popular rhythms like the Cumbia, Gaita, and Porro. His mother always dancing and inviting others to dance, was the queen of the parties, sharing her bliss and true escence.
Lucho studied piano and basics of music in his teenage years, but went through another path (Engineering, Business, Environmental Information Systems), until an Ayahuasca ceremony in Thanksgiving of 2018 changed his life. Lucho felt a heart explosion to sing and play guitar. He has lead peace drum circles and his favorite is to play in Earth Medicines ceremonies, drums, shakers, flute, harmonica, and his magical guitar. He has composed with Esperanza over a hundred medicine songs, with messages to promote love, peace and harmony. They can be found here:
