- We must teach our children to smell the earth, to taste the rain, to touch the wind, to see things grow. Our children have always decided the future. Let them choose one that aligns with our earth.
“Encourage your kids to look for nature everywhere you go.
It’s the weed breaking through the pavement,
It’s the leaves forming small clumps along the side of the road.
It’s the sky at any given time of the day or night.
It’s the wind doing what it likes to your hair.
Look around, it won’t take long to find it.”
~Penny Whitehouse

I took my children away from the city when they were small, where they could run and play outside, independently. Wonderful life!
💚
Me, too,...
Wise mama 👍
Can they do simple arithmetic?
i see a few of those children today .... 15 years, wanna go out, nothing there, they want to the city, not enough possibilities easy to get alone there .... these are troubles for the children when they growing up. its also a point we all should think about.. i think teaching them is possible everywhere. you dont have to change the environment. children should know about all possibilities in life. we shouldnt cut them off. they can find sense whereever they are.... depends on how WE trat them and what WE teach them in my opinion. but there is nothing wrong with such decisions.
We replaced television with discussion, books and our daily experiences ❤️❤️❤️
🙃🌈🐘
They choose life wisely ☯️
💚
Great parenting.. ill stick to experiences though sometimes books are helpful..
We moved from town to a 2acre homestead 11mnths ago. Lord willing, we will never go back. On our own land, surrounded by woods, fresh air, sun and moon, barefoot days, star gazing nights. So much gratitude for where we are...(and no TV out here! Brilliant!)
@Mary Wangen - Enjoy every moment of the new space. xxx
@@ReflectionsofLife We do everyday! Thank you
I just quit my job today and will be free to do what I want for the first time in 32 years and I needed to see this
@Tammie Hammett - What exciting adventures lie ahead for you Tammie - you must be bouncing with ideas. Keep us posted. x
This channel is very underrated. I just discovered it yesterday and I’ve been watching a lot of their videos lately. it makes me happy to see other peoples point of view across the world. i had to subscribe
@principeTv - YAY, welcome to our little online community. We're so glad that you've found these films and that you are finding value through the sharing of these personal experiences. We've still got to much more to share, so stay tuned in right here. And happy 'binge watching'- with over 150 films in the series so far, there is a lot for you to watch :) x
It shows, most people are just too busy to even think or watch about a different lifestyle.
Spent my first 8 years free in the country and the next 8 enduring my mother's unfortunate marriage. But the first 8 was enough to give me an underlying current of independence and knowing what is good to carry me through all my experiences.
"Connecting" or re-connecting is the key word. Our civilization is based on individualism. With pseudo connections from social media. Still....the choice is ours. Abundant possibilities....recognize what you really are and act accordingly. You are free.
"wait for things to come and they come"
That is the universal law in action.
I so admire these parents, especially the single mom. What courage!
What guys!
Not worrying about money, just trusting!
Such a huge lesson for me!
Thank you.
So true. I think is it s lesson for all of us.
Thanks agains for watching so many of our little films and writing to us.
I remember playing like that as a child. When I was that young, didn’t have a smart phone or any technology of any kind.
So do I. Yet we lived in cities and suburbs.
The best way of growing up, we used to play soccer in the street with no shoes on our parents couldn't get us to go in the house now you can't get these kids to go out and play because they're inside glued to their video games and computers, so sad
I agree 100 percent. I grew up running in the bush with my brothers. We made our own kites and toys. Materially we did not have a lot but we had a happy childhood. Because of war we had to leave our home and country and moved to a foreign place in the city. I have had to bring up my own child in an area where gangsterism and drugs is all around us. There are no safe areas where my child could play outside the properties boundaries. I feel like the children here have been deprived of their childhood and a good life. In order to protect their characters they have had to grow up too soon. No innocence and no joy. I have had to find ways to ground them and teach them skills such as carpentry and crafts to keep them away from the poison in the city. I have been quite successful in one way but because the children around them are invariably on the wrong path it has become a lonely life for them.
@Lamees Ahmad - Thank you for doing what you can to lead your children down the brighter path in life - the path of kindness, compassion, self worth. Respect!
So beautiful. Incredible way of living. The majority of society has gone into a terrible Direction. Some people think that it is progress that we are evolving as higher beings. I think that is false. The people in this video are evolving much higher spiritually than most. Again, thank you so much for your beautiful work.
I dont think why people think in order for us to grow, we have to move in the city. Farm life is so good. farm life teaches us to value and appreciate what we have. farm life gives us real happiness. no more cities pls, we need farm life.
I am with you Kyla.
I grew up being in touched with nature whiting a modest family and completely took it for granted. As I got older, I thought materialistic things would fill the void cause by abandonment. I took me several years of depression and couple of suicidal attempts to finally realized that everything I needed in order to filled the void; I so desperately searched for, was already inside of me. Going back to innocence, having a simple life -one that feeds your soul with love and compassion for everything, not just your senses temporarily. Slowing down- taking a deep breath embracing stillness, loving nature ....no materialistic possessions can even come close to the everlasting memories we are capable of creating; when we finally wake up to the reality of our divine nature.❤️
@28peruvian - What a journey you have walked, and to have arrived at such a precious place of self acceptance and peace. We salute you!
Fabulous filming!! I’m so thankful to have raised our children in the mountainous wilderness living off the land with no “modern technology”. 🌈💜
love it but stillwondering how to be able to pay this
So many beautiful souls, love these messages and focus on connecting the children back to earth, feeling a strong connection to that - Thank you
I felt the same, such beautiful people. I think part of what makes them so lovely is the feeling of being unencumbered by the rigors of society.
Parenting 101: free range your child in nature. Away from technology for the mean time.
I grew up in the country side in the Republic Democratic of the Congo. I grew up playing outside enjoying nature. No toys , I had nature only. My cousins, others kids from my neighborhood met everyday and played 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 the most beautiful memory
@Health With Grace - And how special that you can still hold those memories so close to your heart. Many kind wishes to you x
@@ReflectionsofLife yes🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😊😊😊😊
Beyond love this!!!! What a blessing for these parents and children

What a beautiful life! 🙏💖🧡🌲☄️🏡

I pray more children will be able to experience this beautiful innocence of childhood
💚
Beautiful filmmaking. You’ve captured the essence of everything. Thank you. 🙏
@Jezz - That's a big compliment - thank you x
What a great life that it!!! I also did that. Moved to a small town and now my little girl plays outside like crazy
Love THIS...so happy that life like my childhood can still exist. Thankyou for this beautiful channel.
💚
Memories, memories! Its so important to build up our memories with all senses gained from the nature. I'm so glad that there are some parents holding such wonderful idea to nurture their children on the other side of the earth. I remember when serving children with autism, we went hiking every week with the children and their parents. These children were excellent hikers as they felt so relieve in the nature, greenery, breeze, birds humming, forest, water sound from the creek, and the undulating trail provided all senses exactly what they needed as children. I still remember their smiles with great contentment while they were walking through the forest. Their anxieties and hyperactivity were surprisingly gone. The nature demonstrate excellently to the parents that the nature is the best healer, and it is free. It also allowed them to perceive their children with special needs from a different perspective. We can realize how much potential we have locked up the children when confining them in a classroom. The nature is the best "school" for all children. Thanks for showing us these wonderful parents! This film affirms those parents who scattered on the earth but share the same values, they are not lonely.
This seems to me so intuitively obvious. Not just for children but for adults. For everyone.
How blessed these children are!
💚
this channel is incredibly underrated, amazing video as always
@Cirrus - Thanks 💚
I dream about this every single day..
Oh, these beautiful children, these amazing families!!
💚
To live completely apart from the city is mostly suited to the young. It is a privilege for the few with the means to do it. I got to do most of the things the children were shown doing in the film, but I grew up in a small industrial southern Ontario city more than 65 years ago. That way of life is now gone with the closure of the mills and plants where our parents were employed. Now only the wealthy can afford can afford the area.
The city is not a place many freely choose, but it is a place to make a living. To me living in a small town is probably the ideal escape from the extremes of city living, if you can manage it. You can have space nearby to explore and enjoy nature, but still have the community of people. People are also a part of nature. When we isolate from the community of other people, we deprive ourselves from many of the pleasures of being human. As much as family, we need friends to have a full life. This pandemic has brought that point home for many.
Beautiful. And a big Amen to everything these beautiful people have said. And now...I have SO MANY questions as to HOW they all did it!
@Linda Parisi - Thanks, as always, for your messages that bring extra light to our day. As for the HOW - it was something that I considered bringing into the story, until I realised that it was just such a different and personal journey for each family. They all approached it in a different way, that worked for them and their lifestyles. And that's the magic I suppose - to find your own path, that works for you and the ones that you love 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife true, but a small insight would be a blessing as many have no clue at all (as myself)😉
Keep up this wonderful work,
@@Theskaterenegade we moved to a more rural area last year.
We are renting a house on some acres. We not ready to buy but we rather rent here than own in the city. Having skill it's very important to have to be able to be free range here. I was a cook he is a carpenter. I gave up cooking to grow food, that we sold and eat last summer. We raise chickens, getting goats next week, cows.... grow food, self renovation, using anything old to make new, recycling, composting, fermenting....do what our grandparents did. We must do that in order to heal earth and ourselves. No eating out because we enjoy growing food, cooking and have family over to enjoy it with... healthier and cheaper. Might be a sacrifice for some but we are so happy to have a life like this. Isn't always easy, but you adopt and learn. Start with 2 chickens then you get 4 then 8 ...you learn from your mistakes like we did, still do but, would never want to go back to the city. Perfect time to get away from the craziness that's coming.
@@mydear6788 what a great response and thanks a lot for that! I think for my family first starting our business from home and gradually taking it on our own patch when found something affordable. And knowing that some people still do rent takes a huge weight of my shoulders.
You made me a lot wiser,
Have a great day!
@@Theskaterenegade start by being outdoors as much as you can in whatever green spaces are available to you and in every weather - even if no one wants to at first. You will find the beauty, find that you all need it, and from there it becomes much easier to make the leap I think.
I love you thank you for all of those amazing videos❤💚🙏🏻💚❤
@Hiba Mohammed - And thanks to YOU for tuning in to watch them :) x
The video itself is so calming and re-affirming. Thank-you.

Is wonderfull live like this i always remenber my childhood and i fascinate me .
The children are living their appreciation...🌺💖🌹😘🌷🌻💜

What a beautiful video and a beautiful project. Thank you so much for sharing all these videos with us
@Júlia Rosa - And big thanks to YOU for tuning in and taking the time to appreciate each story and each character that we share. Much love to you x
Ahh, this is how to live!
💚
This is what we are striving for ourselves. To take our kids out of the city away from the commercialism and to live free in nature. My husband retired from the military and loves to spend time in nature hiking etc and I grew up as a Girl Scout and love nature as well. Our kiddos light up when they are out in nature away from electronics etc. We are close to living our dream, just need to find the right property. I’m so happy for you that you live freely already, that’s wonderful!
@@AmySmith-hh5yn You can do it!!!
@@AmySmith-hh5yn Oh, sweetie, you will find the right property! I've got 2 acres in TN and love it!
This one has to be my favorite .
What a beautiful planet. ☺️🌎❤️
💚
Wonderful parents. How inspiring. If I was young again this is how would bring up my children.
💚
It is indescribable story that how much it is mean to relax while watching.
💚
There is difference between living and spending a life... And they here r definately living it..to its full.❤️
I wonder where this was in South Africa. I grew up there and it was an amazing childhood, I wouldn't change it for anything. I wish every child could have experienced that.
@AmericanPatriot - This story is filmed in a few different locations in South Africa - Prince Albert, Vermaaklikheid and Grahamstown. And then also on Eigg Island in Scotland :)
Beautiful! I am from suburban London, spent nearly 18 years living in Rome and now live in rural Umbria (Italy). It takes my breath away every day that I get to live in a place that feeds my soul like this, and your movie expresses all the wonderful experiences my kids are starting to have, and my hopes for them in the long term. I'm so glad I found your channel! xx
@Cleona Wallace - And we're so glad that you've found us. Sending BIG LOVE to you in Umbria, from South Africa. Justine x
I am lately so amazed when I see and hear people and children, who in their younger years, have found what I have come to in my late 50’s early 60’s(!!!)
I have had so much growing to do.
So much pain to process.
For anyone to find all they need in the earth people, the shy and winds, all that has been created for our benefit too- dogs cats, we have everything. Thank you for sharing your story.🌺🐣🤗✨✨✨✨✨
💚
What a beautiful and uplifting video that makes your heart sing. Thank you x

You are doing such a wonderful job in creating these videos with such inspiring and beautiful people who have reconnected to mother earth, living a simple but rich, fulfilling, balanced, and peaceful life. They are truly an inspiration and example to follow. Peace out.
Thank you John for your very kind words. we hope to bring you many more films.
As always, absolutely inspirational .. it’s so humbling to be able to be touched by the lives of these wonderful people who have such meaningful messages about to share with us.. Thank you
@Frank Ward - THANK YOU Frank, for always having a positive word of encouragement to share. We love having you as part of our little online community 💚
This is the kind of life I want for me, and one day, for my children. Your videos give me hope that I'm not a lunatic for wanting something like this because I definitely feel like one from the view of people around me and it's really frustrating. I hope I'll soon have the courage to pursue life like this. Thank you so much for making these videos, they are so precious to me.
Tatjana, we are so glad our videos mean so much to you, may they carry you through each day and encourage you. Thank you for your kind words. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Hi to all the beautiful, inspiring people in these videos. I look forward to hearing your stories. Enjoy life for the moment. Thank you all north shropshire
@Geraldine Daly - Thanks for this special comment, and for taking time to absorb and enjoy these stories that we're sharing. 💚
This family reminds me of "Captain Fantastic" movie.
Amazing video, I was lucky as a child i spent so much time in Nature, then as I got older I got lost chasing material things which made me very unhappy for a long time, then one day at the age of 42 i had an awakening where I really thought about what would make me happy and it was all the things I did as a child in nature, so now I spend a lot of time in the Natural world camping, walking, growing plants that attract bees and butterflies and I see the beauty all around me just like I did as a child
Your comment is so beautiful. We are so glad you rediscovered again what you had experienced as a child. Wishing you many more happy days being in nature, growing things, etc. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife thank you for your lovely reply, it means a lot
I just discovered your videos today. They are so well done. Encouraging, inspiring, full of truth. Thank you for your efforts to capture such great moments in life on film for many to see and enjoy.

I have been watching all of your films recently and I'm loving all of them! I wish more people would grasp these messages and truly appreciate the simplicities of life, away from all the buzz and the worthless things. By the way, I'm an English tutor and translator here in Brazil and I would love to translate your films to Portuguese. If it's possible, please let me know =)
@Jonatha Koeller - Hey Jonatha. Thanks for this beautiful note and for recognising the value that our films have to share. We would LOVE to bring you on board to assist with Portugese translations - it's something that I've been dreaming about :) You can reach me on info@greenrenaissance.co.za - drop me an email and we can take it further from there. And - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Justine x
O Jonathan tem toda razão seus filmes são lindo !!Sou brasileira e amo seus vídeos .Gostaria de sugerir a colocar a tradução tanto em português quanto em ingles,porque seus vídeos são fantásticos nos tiram a atenção de coisas inúteis para coisas simples e belas .E pra quem faz aula de inglês aprende muito mais assim com assuntos gostosos e paisagens exuberantes !!!👏👏👏👏
@@silvaniagomes57 Oi Silvania! O pessoal do canal e eu fechamos um acordo e agora estou fazendo as traduções dos vídeos pra Português. O último que saiu já tem a legenda em Português, em breve esse vídeo e outros terão também! Recomendo esse canal pra todos os meus alunos hahaha these guys are amazing!
@@XxGhost46xX Que legal vou amar assistir .Tenho muito interesse em entender como vcs falam em ingles ,na escrita é mais fácil entender mas escutar e um pouquinho difícil .Mas amo estes vídeos amo a simplicidade amo a natureza amo escutar pessoas com conteúdo simples e autênticas .Amo tudo que é de Deus .
@@silvaniagomes57 Entender a fala é um pouco mais difícil mesmo, mas o segredo é continuar ouvindo todos os dias num nível que não seja muito difícil pra você. Uma das razões pelas quais a maioria das pessoas aqui no Brasil não aprende Inglês na escola nem nos cursos é porque foca muito em entender as regras e passa pouquíssimo tempo ativamente ouvindo e vendo coisas em inglês. Quanto mais você puder assistir e ouvir vídeos, vlogs, documentários, séries, podcasts etc. em Inglês, melhor pro seu ouvido se acostumar com a pronúncia e lentamente começar a distinguir umas palavras das outras. Eu aprendi Inglês sozinho porque fazia muito isso com rap e hip hop quando era mais novo, então meu ouvido se acostumou com a fala rápida dos americanos. Continua consumindo conteúdos que te interessem como esse em Inglês todo dia e pesquisando as palavras, você vai ver que conforme o tempo passar vai ficar mais fácil ;) Um abraço pra você, fica com Deus!
Love this… Shared with my friends who are parents that care. Thank you
🙏 🕉🌹☯️🌺
That's great - thanks for sharing 💚!
Currently living in the city, but this mindset is so beneficial to apply until my external environment changes.
@Daniel Hall - Absolutely, shifting the mindset is the first, and sometimes most challenging step. So you're on the right path friend.
Beautiful life style!
We agree!
Powerful video...getting connected back with what really matters and keeps us centered and grounded is everything:)...🙏🌺🙏
We are glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, sometimes we have to stop a while, and think what really matters in life. Justine and Michael. 💚
That was so beautiful so meaningful... Thanks for that....
You are so welcome
I am so in love with all of these Green Renaissance video's and the joy that they give me, what they have taught me and shown me is how I would like to live. They are some of the very best that I have ever seen. To the creators of these wonderful, touching, inspiring video's, thank you so much.
Thank you for these kind words, we a
e glad you are with us on this journey. 💚
I love all your videos. One of the best I think.
A great channel with many deep and short films to truly connect myself
@Harry H - Thanks for these kind words of support x
This is so touching. So full of hope. Freedom. And Peace ❤
It would be nice to know more about these people, where are they living? How do they support themselves in this calm life?
Well they don't have a fancy house or lots of gadgets. One of them is a blacksmith, one looks like he works in conservation. I expect they grow a lot of their own food and they have the space to keep livestock. They probably don't have foreign holidays and new cars so once they have bought a property they only have taxes and some utility bills to pay. In England this sort of life is expensive as property is very expensive perhaps it is less expensive in other countries?
@@nadiagoddard227 I meant more in terms of the storytelling within the video, to include some of this information would make the connection with the subject of the film more interesting in my opinion.
@@lsidjhgoshg Hi I do tend to take things literally sorry for misunderstanding you
@lsidjhgoshg in the description it says this was filmed in South Africa and Scotland if you read through it.
@@metislamestiza3708 I meant more within the storytelling of the video, to give a sense of who their subjects are. It is a comment for the filmmaker.
I was raised on a difficult old farm and had poleo but still love fatms.
I also grew up on a farm something special about being connected to the earth from a young age.
I've never experienced a proper childhood. But i know its not too late to pursue it, to experience that childhood i've missed.
So true - it really is never too late. Enjoy every new day, appreciating all the wonders with which we are blessed 💚
So beautiful !!
@Feeling Home in NATURE - Norway - LOVE this comment. The beauty of our natural world can be found, appreciated and celebrated no matter where we live. x
@@ReflectionsofLife YES ❤ And when people appreciate and love the natural world, the trees, the animals - they hopefully want to take care of it.
What a nice Camera Play you did- Great mix of different Style in order to emphasize the happiness and wildness of the Kids. Very good Regisseur + Camera !
Thank you Kristina. 💚
The right thing to do for you and your family. Living in nature is part of our soul. We all, humans and animals, are part of nature, of the universe. 👍Thumbs-up for you all. Cities are corrupted and divided ➗ people in cities, most of them, live for themselves. Survival is their motto.
We are glad the video resonated with you Rut. Justine and Michael. 💚
👍Yes yes yes 💝🙏🤗
Makes me wish there was a way to live this kind of life 👍
Being a 17 year old young lady, I already have a dream for my future children to live a childhood, to live a life in nature. I grew up in a small community, tall buildings around us, but I remember the kind of plants and flowers, and games that I had with nature, more than to the people and to the place. And until now, nature can still bring me back my sweet childhood. 🌱
So wonderful to hear that you have had, and continue to have, such a strong and beautiful connection to the natural world. We hope that it inspires others to see what you see too 💚
another amazing video. the cinematography astonishes me every time :)
@Eoz - SO glad to hear that you enjoyed it x

I just found your channel. Going to binge-watch. Amazing content. Thank you
@Neisha Cedeno - WELCOME to our little online community. Happy watching. And we're working on so much more to share, so keep tuned in right here x
Hi, I recently found your channel and binged watched a lot of your videos. I really just want to say that what you produce and create in this channel is really inspiring. I don't have the funds to support your patreon page since I am still in university and struggling to scrape funds for myself too. Lately, I've been really burnt out because of all the deadlines and requirements I have to meet + the pressure of friends and family to succeed, and the only thing that's pushing me through is the idea that when I graduate, I can buy things that will find me comfort. These kinds of videos help me realize that the simple things in life, the things we take for granted almost everyday, are the only things that we really need to find satisfaction. I was so caught up in the "future" that I forgot that the most important right now is myself , and taking care of myself and my sanity. I grew up in a materialistic mindset and my family pressures me to be rich and that is the only time I can be comfortable. Your videos made me rethink my life course and I might have to change it soon.. Thank you so much and godspeed.
@Mark Steven Reyes - What Mark, thank you for sharing this comment that made us really emotional reading it. Comments like this mean so much more to us than any kind of donation ever could. We're so glad that these films are touching your heart and mind. Life is a journey, we get to define how we want to live. BIG love to you on this adventure. And keep in touch x

I have been watching some of your films and I totally love the awareness it's creating to live an alternative lifestyle. Most media is so inundated with consumerism of all kind, that there is no imagination that such a life is also possible
