Myra and Jason Gerdes

We design living ecosystems of presence based experiences. This includes Lumasphere as a mobile app as well as our in-person gatherings.

As we met with so many of the spiritual community online and in person throughout our travels it became apparent that while this a deeply powerful and beautiful experience it can also feel isolating and confusing especially as old relationships fade away. Lumasphere began as a way to make our shared presence visible on the planet , to help people experience that they are not alone, and that they are a part of a living planetary whole. It has since grown into a living ecosystem of presence-based experiences that explores a different foundation for technology: one built around connection, coherence, and feeling.

Myra practiced as an ENT PA for 20 years , one of the top in my field. One of my biggest highlights was having the strength to step away from something I loved doing and leave a career behind to hop into a van with no idea of what I was to do and explore myself more deeply and learn a whole new way of living in presence, letting go of every framework that once supported an old way of living. And now being able to meet each new moment with a heart full of love and joy and acceptance for all that is. Jason has been a contractor for both Microsoft and NASA with a software engineering career that spanned over 20 years. I wanted to make software that was successful which is why I continued my education through a PhD in business. I wanted to better understand my clients needs so that I could Deliver software that solve their individual issues. My greatest career highlights is seeing the look in my clients face when they receive software that actually solves their problems.
