About us
Creating alternative visions of life
The HOUSE OF CULTURE of the Magna Fraternitas Universalis Foundation was founded by Dr. David Juan Ferriz Olivares and is dedicated to creating a space that promotes the cultural arts, sciences and education. Our purpose is to create an alternative and greater vision of life centered on collective healing and spiritual and intellectual growth.
Our Toronto chapter organizes local activities such as talks, cinema forums, panel discussions, art workshops, art pop ups, yoga classes, eco-trips and children’s leadership and wellness workshops. We delve into both the abstract and concrete, working within the diverse branches of human thought, to develop a synthesis for this New Era.
Focus on Spiritual and Intellectual Growth
The House of Culture is present in various countries such as: Australia, Italy, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, Panama, Puerto Rico, Chile, Argentina, El Salvador, and Bolivia. Our Toronto branch represents the first brick and mortar storefront in Canada. In addition we organize activities in Hamilton and Oakville.
Our founding principles stem from Tolerance, Truth and Peace, working towards the ideal of a world united by wisdom and understanding, reaching a true and authentic sense of fraternity. Our work lies under the ideals, methods and teachings proposed by Dr. Serge Raynaud de la Ferriere and Dr. David Juan Ferriz Olivares.
The House of Culture also seeks to collaborate and partner with organizations that are humanitarian, philosophic, scientific, artistic, esoteric, spiritual and Initiatic, being one of the objectives of the Magna Fraternitas Universalis Foundation.
Our Affiliations
The Magna Fraternitas Universalis has existed since the remotest of times, in different parts of the world. It has always been represented by an active Mission of individuals affiliated to the most diverse scientific, cultural and spiritual organizations. It has had times of silence and times in which the Grand Institution has manifested. During these times of silence, the Magna Fraternitas Universalis was limited to secretly conserving the teachings in Sanctuaries. During active times it has publicly presented itself through an Order whose instructors offered the traditional teachings. This Great Universal Brotherhood encompasses more than 150 movements in the world.
