Hello From Ecuador!
I’m JT, writing from a valley in southern Ecuador where my family and I are building an adobe home, expecting our third child any day now, and learning what it means to root into place across generations.
We’ve been at Finca Sagrada—a 7-hectare intentional community in the Valley of Longevity—for just over a year. When several people kept pointing me toward the Ringing Cedars books, I finally picked them up. I haven’t put them down since.
What struck me was more than just resonance, it was recognition. What Anastasia describes as a kin’s domain is remarkably close to what we’ve been building here without even knowing the name for it. The science of imagery, in particular, has given me language for something I’d been practicing intuitively.
But here’s what’s been burning in me since I started reading:
Why hasn’t this taken root in the West the way it has in Russia?
I know there are many plausible answers to this question, but I think part of the answer is structural. Vision without architecture collapses. And the legal and financial architecture to protect kin’s domains in the Western world has been obscured and very challenging to unravel, until now.
I’ve spent the opening weeks of 2026 practicing what Anastasia teaches: holding a coherent image and letting it pull reality toward it. What emerged is a three-part series exploring a potential bridge—the legal structures, the technology, and the platform that could allow kin’s domain settlements to finally flourish outside Russia.
I’m not here to sell anything. I’m here because the image I’m holding is too large for one community, and I want to find others holding pieces of the same vision so that together we can pave the way for all of us.
If you’re dreaming of land, struggling with how to make it real, or curious about what’s becoming possible, I’d love to connect.
The series:
Part I: The Missing Piece — What the science of imagery actually is, why communities fail, and what Anastasia understood that we forgot https://trewregenerative.substack.com/p/the-age-we-forgot-how-to-imagine
Part II: Where Vision Meets Ground — A space of love taking form in Ecuador, the founder’s threshold, and an invitation https://trewregenerative.substack.com/p/where-vision-meets-ground
Part III: The Bridge — The legal architecture, the tokenization platform, and what becomes possible when communities recognize each other https://trewregenerative.substack.com/p/the-bridge
Looking forward to being part of this community.
