I am so proud of the year 2025 we just had. It has been our best year ever in many ways.
This year, we hosted 74 events!
33 In-person Events (Book Clubs, Reader’s Meetups): North Carolina, California, Texas, Hawaii, Arizona, Tennessee, Vancouver Canada, Croatia
41 Online Events (Community Calls, Book Clubs, Russia-America Exchanges): With participants from all over the USA, Canada, the UK, many European Union countries, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Asia, and even Africa. Listing out all the countries would be long.
This was a huge increase from the ~40 events hosted in 2024.
Beyond this, our community has steadily continued to grow. More readers in the Western world are connecting than ever before.
With all my heart, I truly want to see the movement continue to grow.
In order to do that, I would like to ask for your help.
I have been so blessed to be able to give the last 11 years of my life to the Ringing Cedars movement and helping readers connect.
For years, I have carried the Anastasia Foundation largely on my own capacity. What you may not know is, I do not do this work full time. I have run a web design business for many years, which has taken most of my time away from the Foundation work. I considered it noble to support myself in this way, but at this point it’s becoming a limitation. With the demands of the business, my family life, and the Foundation work, I am running thin. The “double life” is unsustainable.
In order for this work to grow and thrive the way it deserves to, the way it needs to, I need to put my full time and attention into it. What we’ve been able to achieve so far has only been with a fraction of my time. I cannot imagine how far we will go if I was able to pour my life into this, day in and day out.
To that end — to see the International Ringing Cedars Movement grow and thrive:
I am launching the Anastasia Foundation 2026 Annual Fund.
The goal is to raise $3,000 a month in recurring donations. This would help buy the stability and focus needed to accelerate growth. This would be the first step into taking the Foundation to the professionalized level it deserves to be at.
If we reached that goal here is what would happen:
The completion of the International Kin’s Domain Settlement Directory: My crown jewel project. It is a super modern, easy to use, highly detailed directory of Settlements worldwide. This would help everyone outside of Russia answer the questions of “Where are the Settlements?”, “How can I learn more about them?” and “How can I connect with them?” I have spent hundreds of hours since late 2023 on this already and have it roughly 60-70% complete, but have not been able to finish it due to lack of time. There is so much that completing this project would change for the entire movement, but I will share more about that in another post.
More in-person Ringing Cedars meetups, book clubs, and events — worldwide.
More online Ringing Cedars events like our Community Calls, book clubs, Russia-America Exchanges, and the new Kin’s Domain Settlement Development call where Settlement Founders can present about their projects and anyone interested in joining or learning more can connect with them — directly facilitating the development of settlements across the world.
More high quality Ringing Cedars content created on YouTube and across all social media. More articles, interviews, podcasts, and inspiring insightful content to spread the message.
Reaching more Ringing Cedars readers who have not heard of the Foundation, and them joining the community (most readers still don’t know we exist!)
Reaching new people who have not read the books, helping them get started and joining the community
All of this connection between readers leading to thriving and prospering Kin’s Domain Settlements worldwide and the fulfillment of Anastasia’s dream
The eventual republication of the books: The giant amount of activity related to this demands complete focus
Building out a team in the future to support with content creation, editing, community management, website management, administrative tasks, etc.
I am humbly asking for your support in reaching this $3,000 per month milestone.
Whether it’s $5, $50, or $500 a month, your support is a direct investment in the growth of the movement, and buys back the most valuable resource we have: focus.

Over the next few days, I will share more with you about this bigger projects I’m working on — including the International Kin’s Domain Settlement Directory — so you can see exactly what your support will build.
Your support would mean the world to me. No matter what, I will continue to serve and build the Foundation because it is my life mission to do so.
As Vladimir Megre wrote me in an email in 2022: “Gabriel, I intuitively feel that you could create a large and powerful community in the English-speaking countries. It could present the world with a new paradigm for overcoming the crisis. The correctness of my assumptions has been proven in practice. In all countries where I have ever spoken to readers, they expressed their desire to create and be friends. I am grateful to you that you feel the situation well and are able to do a great deal for all the people in the world.”
Let’s get there, together.
