Book 1 of the Ringing Cedars Series, tells the story of entrepreneur Vladimir Megre's trade trip to the Siberian taiga in 1995, where he witnessed incredible spiritual phenomena connected with sacred 'ringing cedar' trees.  He spent three days with a woman named Anastasia who shared with him her unique outlook on subjects as diverse as gardening, child-rearing, healing, Nature, sexuality, religion and more.  This wilderness experience transformed Vladimir so deeply that he abandoned his commercial plans and, penniless, went to Moscow to fulfill Anastasia's request and write a book about the spiritual insights she so generously shared with him.  True to her promise this life-changing book, once written, has become an international bestseller and has touched hearts of millions of people world-wide. 

Many of the readers of this series have decided to create communities such as the ones described in the books so that they can be surrounded by others of a like heart and mind and so that they too can go back to a way of life aligned with the original intent of God.  When God made Adam and Eve he placed them in a garden.  Our intent is to go back to the garden and build a green sustainable village where we can once again know peace and joy in central Florida.
