Our Kin Domain is nestled deep in a valley beside the Santa Clara River in southwestern Utah, about 25 miles north of Saint George. A deep canyon runs north from our home all the way to the Baker Reservoir. Unlike the surrounding high desert environment in which our Kin Domain is located, our property is covered in massive cottonwood trees and crack willows that make you think you are living in the southeastern United States. Deer, herons, and turkey roam our property every day. We are slowly converting our property into a true food forest garden based on Permaculture principles and the beautiful descriptions Anastasia has given. While our Domain is not a hectare, we are making the most effective use of our space to create a blessed spiritual sanctuary for each other, our family, and the wildlife that shares it with us.
