‘USF is the flame of Freedom that lives in each of us. These are goals, the goal of self-realization and the desire for change, both in relation to yourself and in relation to everything that surrounds you. This is a free space that gathers around people who are charged with the rays of Freedom, who know exactly what they want from life and aim to go to the very end.’
