  • Atypical Upbringing

    Biet Simkin's childhood was anything but ordinary, shaped by her father, Grigori Simkin, an awakened shaman who discovered spirituality in the woods of Russia. Her upbringing was marked by spiritual teachings and a lack of material wealth, as her father prioritized enlightenment over financial stability 1. Biet recalls the unconventional lifestyle, including mismatched socks and a rotating cast of women in their home, which made her a rebellious yet popular figure at school 2. Despite the chaos, her father's influence instilled in her a deep understanding of spirituality from an early age 3.
