You’ll hear two long-time residents of the 23-year-old Imbiren Kin’s Domain Settlement in Siberia. Each speaker gives a presentation/talk, and then does Q&A with the live audience.
SPEAKERS
• Maria “Masha” Makshieva – filmmaker who first visited Imbiren at 13 and now documents Kin’s Domain life across Russia and Europe.
• Yulia “Yuliya” Lisunova – mother of three who has lived in several Kin’s Domain Settlements and birthed a daughter at home on her Domain.
Over three hours they cover:
Masha’s documentary trilogy – Film 1: life inside Imbiren; Film 2: tours of settlements across Russia & abroad; Film 3: raising children on Kin’s Domains.
Raising children in nature – real stories of kids hiking 60 km forests, building clay ovens, and thriving without kindergarten.
Land-ownership models – why some settlements buy back hectares to keep speculators out, and the gaps in Russian law.
Community life & infrastructure – ponds, workshops, folk-dance circles, and a log community center built only from fallen trees.
Health, home-birth & large families – how moving to a Kin’s Domain changed residents’ well-being and family size.
Global outreach – Masha’s 5 000 km film tour, German screenings, and plans for an English-language channel.
✨ Anastasia Foundation upcoming projects – July 23 world gatherings and fresh, hand-pressed Siberian Cedar Oil pre-orders opening soon.
