"Anastasia", the first book 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 fulfil 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 best-seller and has touched hearts of millions of people world-wide.Volume 3 of the Anastasia series.In 1994 Vladimir Megre met a mysterious young woman named Anastasia on the bank of the River Ob. She led him deep into the Siberian taiga, where she revealed her philosophy on Man's relationship to Nature, the Universe and God, as well as lifestyle, education, nutrition, spirituality, love, family, sexual relations and other plants. These teachings became the basis for the best-selling series, The Ringing Cedars of Russia, first published in 1996. In ten years more than 10 million copies have been sold. The series has been translated into 20 languages.The Space of Love, the third book of the Series, describes author's second visit to Anastasia. Rich with new revelations on natural child-rearing and alternative education, on the spiritual significance of breast-feeding and the meaning of ancient megaliths, it shows how each person's thoughts can influence the destiny of the entire Earth and describes practical ways of putting Anastasia's vision of happiness into practice. Megre shares his new outlook on education and children's real creative potential after a visit to a school where pupils build their own campus and cover the ten-year Russian school programme in just two years. Complete with an account of an armed intrusion into Anastasia's habitat, the book highlights the limitless power of Love and non-violence.The Ringing Cedars series offers material about living close to the Earth in a village of Kin's domains by creating a 'Space of Love'. The books have become the basis for a Russian and increasingly worldwide Back to the Land movement based on the Russian tradition of self-reliant simple living on the land, providing physical subsistence and spiritual fulfillment. It is one of a number of such projects in Russia.The books and communities combine deep ecology with traditional, even conservative family values, quite unlike the conventional Western hippie alternative lifestyle. This is based on the idea of "kin estates" or self-sufficient family homesteads. Before the publication of the first book in the series, there were virtually no eco-villages in Russia. By June 5, 2004, eight years later, a conference of the Ringing Cedars Movement in Vladimir, attracted delegates from over 150 eco-villages from across 48 of the 89 regions of Russia.Megre's ideas are similar to those of Russia's agricultural economist Alexander Chayanov eighty years earlier, referring to harmonious relationship with nature based on sustainable rural settlements consisting of individual family-owned homesteads. Also like Chayanov, Megr� presents his ideas in a novel-like format. He admits using this strategy to minimize initial resistance to his writings.In addition to Russia, Anastasia centers can be found in Australia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands,[12] New Zealand, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States.words : 78925Auszeichnung : isbn searched
