Events Announcement

I am pleased to announce that I am now offering events for those interested in history and art: lectures, tours, museum visits, crafts and much more. On the new website page you will find the schedule of upcoming events, their description, and sign-up forms.

The events will be held both in English and Russian. All events are designed for small groups of up to 10 people. This allows for plenty of discussion and answering of questions during the events. The majority of the events are designed for adults and interested teenagers and children.

If you are interested in a certain event but none of the planned dates fit you, send me an email, and I would be happy to organize a private event for a group of at least 5 people.

“Orthodoxy in Russia” Event

In March of 2025 I was able to organize an educational event at St. Olaf College, Minnesota, in partnership with the Russian Department and the Lutheran Centre. Together with Father Paul (Hodge), a graduate of the neighboring Carleton College, we served an akathist in the college chapel that was open to anyone wishing to participate or simply to observe. We served in a mixture of English and Church Slavonic, with the students being given brochures to follow along. He then led an introductory talk about Orthodoxy and answered the students’ questions. For many this was the first Orthodox service that they had ever witnessed, and therefore the goal of this event was to give the students, especially those studying Russia, a insider’s introduction to this religious tradition.

Looking for a hiking / backpacking buddy?

I love nature, and I like to go on hiking and backpacking adventures. So far I have mostly explored the Sierra Nevada mountains. I would love to connect to more people who love the outdoors. Please reach out if you are planning a trip!
