So glad you like what she shares. Not sure if you have watched the other two videos with her, 'My Wish for Humanity’ (ua-cam.com/video/dQRh0z3ckSc/v-deo.html) and 'A Life of Meaning’ (ua-cam.com/video/dInBDy4Oh7g/v-deo.html). Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I just found this series of videos last night, and I can't stop watching them. I'm a 53 year old married woman in Upstate, NY in the USA. We live on our small farm and try to be as self sufficient as we can because it enriches our life and our soul. But the last few years, I have felt that there is something missing in my life. I always seem to be so hurried, and have so much to get done, and it builds and builds in me until I'm in despair. After watching these videos, I actually feel a shift in me....to see life from different perspectives. And it is leading me to implementing changes in my life, so that I have a more simple, yet fulfilling life, however many more years I have. I can't thank you enough for doing this video series....you've changed my life...
@yvonne miller - I've got actual physical goosebumps reading your message. THANK YOU for seeing the value, for listening to each story with such an open heart. We'd love to visit the USA soon to tell a series of stories there - hopefully soon x
I just discovered these stories as well. Such good medicine at times like these they’ve really helped my heart. I was so thrilled when I saw how many stories you’ve done! Thank you.
I agree. I am a 51 YO man in Missouri, USA. These videos mean so much to me. I am not yet able to put it into words...other than these will change my life.
@Matt Thompson - We are very glad that you've found our films and that they are touching your heart and soul. Much love to you, across the seas from South Africa x
Carolien - it hasn't always been an easy road for Antoinette to arrive at this point. So keep walking your path, and finding your truth. It's a journey :)
@@ReflectionsofLife The path is where you are. Truth is not something you seek and find. It's always in you. So you don't have to go somewhere or work hard to get it.. You just need to realize that you are already that what you seek. "The way complete and present right where you are and yet if there is the slightest difference between you and the way the difference will be greater than between heaven and earth" 🙏❤🙏
What an awesome woman with such strength of spirit. Ppl like her should go around to colleges as a guest speaker! She could teach more in 20 minutes than one of the books for the course. I think sitting down and talking with her would be epic! Thank you for sharing and God bless.
Antionette Pienaar...for years already a very strong influence in my life. A woman that lives her truth unashamedly. Thank you for this beautiful and compassionate peek into her life and the wisdom that she is.
I love this video. I found myself longing to sit at her feet, for just a little more wisdom. In fact, I plan to watch this video morning and night for the next 7 days. What a confronting thing to do … shave your hair in winter so that spring will be celebrated deeply with a greater sense of awareness and appreciation. I won't be doing that, but without choice, my voice has decided to take its own hibernation, and the silence has brought with it, a sharpened sense to what is around me as it do my morning walk in the local park. Capturing the moments, I snapped many pictures to hold the precious gifts a little longer. It was wonderful. As for animals and their unconditional love … I wait for one of the locals to walk past my fence with his four large hounds, and when they do, each of them jump up for a pat. Their wet "kisses" just make my day. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Grace - what a beautiful sharing of your experiences that echo the story told by Antoinette. It is in those seemingly 'small' moments of interaction - recognising the morning song of the birds in the trees, the daily pat of the dogs - these can bring so much joy. We love hearing your stories - keep them coming :) xx
Love the comment about sitting at her feet for a little more wisdom, I feel exactly the same every time I hear her beautiful voice. She is a true story teller. A wise woman. 💚
I have been binge watching all your videos. I’m in a dark space, the videos are giving me hope and inspiration. Thank you to all who help make these videos and the people who are real and raw people. It’s so nice to see. Sending light and warmth from Arizona.
@SimplyDeeJae - And we are glad that these films can bring a little bit of light to your day. THANK YOU for being here with us. And we're working on so much more that we'll keep sharing regularly. Very big hugs of warmth and love to you. Justine 💚
@Berzerk LP2 - Antoinette has walked a long journey in her life so far, and has such a gentle and authentic way of sharing her views with us. She is a real inspiration.
I don't know much about the imagery in the Christian Bible, but whenever I am thinking about the human society, the imagery of the tree of knowledge comes to my mind. From the time when human beings choose to know more rather than 'exist' more, things become complicated, I think. It is a wonderful gift from God, to think carefully and thoroughly for the good of people and this earth. However, when we are super obsessed with thinking, like the lady says, the only thing we can see is the sign of nothingness(zero), not the 'everything' through that 'zero'. Thank you for the video, by the way :)
"To do what nature guides you to do". Those words can be heard as some kind of abstract concept but there is nothing abstract about the power of nature. If one can slow down enough while surrounded by nature it will offer its guidance. It is so amazing, with a very profound impact, a different dimension of life. Thank you so much for this beautiful message ❤️🙏
We are truly grateful that this video resonated with you so much. Our last video was also with Antoinette, called 'My Wish For Humanity', in case you haven't watched it yet. 💚
Antoinette Pienaar, you are a truly inspiring human. Thank you for your teachings and for coming to our small town to share your knowledge and your unique expression in the world.
I have been binge watching your videos this week and each one that I have watched have left me with a lump in my throat because they're all so beautifully done!
Kelly - you've made us laugh - glad that our films were intriguing enough to pull you into a binge watch session. Thanks for appreciating the story shared by each character, and appreciating what they had to say. We're working on so many more stories to come, so keep tuned in. A new does of inspiration every single Wednesday xx
Wat een prachtig mens ! In mijn optimisme hoop ik nog steeds dat het overgrote deel van de mensen deze "goedheid" ook hebben. Dit Zuid Afrikaans is voor mij goed te volgen. Dank voor het prachtige monteren van dit filmpje.
What a truly amazing and wise lady. Everything she said is so true and speaks deeply to me. Also, what a beautiful language, I could listen to her talk for hours. Thank you 🙏
Glad that you enjoyed listening to Antoinettes story :) In case you didn't know, she is speaking Afrikaans, which is one of the local South African languages, derived from Dutch.
That's nice that Antoinette's message meant so much to you Lynne. There are two more videos with her on our channel - ‘My Wish for Humanity’ (ua-cam.com/video/dQRh0z3ckSc/v-deo.html) and 'A Life of Meaning’ (ua-cam.com/video/dInBDy4Oh7g/v-deo.html). Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
This was EXCEPTIONAL. THANK YOU from the bottom of my soon to be 60 yo heart. This was exactly what I needed to hear today. I would love to sit and visit with this wonderful woman and her animals. I am sending much love and light to her for sharing herself with me. XO💚
@Donna Doble-Brown - Thanks for allowing Antoinette's story into your heart. We're hoping to maybe visit with her again in the months ahead. So keep an eye out for that. x
I just found this Channel today and I have been watching all day long and all evening. Three of them or more I have watched more than two or three times. Tonight is the debate in the United States between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I cannot tolerate any kind of confrontations or debates. I cannot listen. These videos have been a godsend for me I love them and they leave me speechless with just one huge WOW!!!!!!!!!!
@Chiefonelung - We are so glad that you have found our channel, and that our stories can provide you with an alternative to the mayhem and madness of modern day politics. Hugs to you. x
There is some powerful effects to this vedio. You see it as a any other but then slowly this amazing power of peace and calmness comes to your heart and mind. Then you realise life isn't about running and forgetting ourselves, but it's about being alive in each moment and then connecting with your true self. Contentment happiness and peace doesn't come from material things outside but it's found deep inside in each and every one of us.
A beautiful balance between words and images, the images tender, seeking, caressing, the words heart-felt, descriptive, deep, personal and shaped by her soul. Binnenlandskap, wat mooi...
It thrills us that that Antoinette's words touched you so deeply Julie. There was a second film with her released the other day - 'My Wish for Humanity', in case you haven't watched it yet. A further film with her will be released in the next while. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Interesante cuando dice "Ahí recuerdo quien soy". Antoinette, una mujer de cierta edad con gran sabiduría nos trasmite a su vez que cuando se cumplan nuestros sueños "vivir en la naturaleza con un pastor de ovejas" aún queda un camino por recorrer porque a nadie, sea cual sea la naturaleza de tus sueños, te van a grabar a cincel quien eres. La calma en la vida es una de las herramientas para alcanzar tus sueños. Un relato que llega a alcanzar mi alma con gran magnitud. Un ser extraordinario 💚 Gracias
@Suné Rennie - Hello again :) So glad that you're finding all of these older stories and that you are enjoying them all. GREAT that you've read Antoinette's books - she is a woman of many talents.
Such a wisdom!!! A video to watch periodically to remember what is important. Maybe simplicity and connection with oneself, nature and people is the secret for an happier life. God bless humanity and gives us perspective. Thank you Antoniette for your testimony and thank you to this channel for posting this experience of life!!!
You are so welcome Mariella, we agree with you that this lady has so much wisdom to share. We love going back to watch her film. We are planning in August t go back and visit her again and share more of her wisdom. Thank you for watching. Have a beautiful weekend. Best wishes, Michael and Justine
The secret is to be content 😇😇.............. I seriously can't take my eyes off dese gem of videos ... The depth, compassion , serenity, calm and poise of each and evry word uttered can't be explained in mere words .... 🙏🙏🙏
I was also wondering what language it was - but I didn’t know that Afrikaans had so many Arabic words (which i speak - and led me to think that this was perhaps Turkish or Farsi)?
This is the 3rd time I'm watching this video...and I have infact watched all your 197+33 videos...and watched them in a hurry...now I'm watching them slowly...reliving each moment as you shot them...love u guys...you are amazing...Justine,Michael,Warren, Jackie...you are blessed to be doing what you are doing...love u..
Amazing!! I love all your videos Green Renaissance. Keep making them. These videos give me strength, clarity and peace. I feel so much happiness after watching these videos that can't be expressed in words. God bless you all for doing such great work. Keep it up. Also my respect to all those beautiful and amazing people who shared their lives and wisdom with the world in order to help us to be better, do better.
@Priyanjita Bhowmick - This is such a special comment, thank you. Thanks for seeing the value that these stories can bring. Thanks for listening with an open heart and mind, willing to learn and find comfort. And for appreciating the individual story shared by each of these characters. It's great to have you along on this journey with us x
i love listening to her, ' see through it' !...afrikaans,...yet feellike this could be from the faroes or norse. this channel is fantastic, thank u, danku wel, diolch a mawr, sharing again, alot! c;

Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
@Dallas Du Toit - shooo - beautiful words Dallas. Thanks for the compliment, and keep tuned in for so much more to come in the weeks and months ahead :)
This movie was medicine for my psyche and helped the last tears wash out of me, leaving my lungs clear. Her dogs brought Anubis to make me see I am light as a feather. I am Zero. AllThatIs can be seen through me. So grateful
@Karen Leigh - Oh WOW Karen - what powerful words. Thanks for sharing your personal experience with us, and to know that you found comfort and resonance with Antoinette's story, really makes us smile. Thanks for joining us on this film making adventure, and we're working hard in our spare time to keep sharing a brand new film every single Wednesday - so keep tuned in. Much love to you. Justine xx
So profound...so beautiful. I wish I could sit by her and listen all day long. Thank you GR,these videos lift me up when I can't. I wish I can reach this sense to contentment and spirituality when I reach her age.
@Annesha Das Gupta - So glad that this resonated so deeply with you. We're all on our own journey, reaching different milestones at different times - step forward with self belief xxx
@@ReflectionsofLife Dear GR 💚💚 Reaching different milestones at our times so true! And the most appreciated part is that your effort of replying to your viewer's with your messages. Inspite of having millions of subscribers,who does that these days... we are all a family out here 💙 separated geographically but still so connected! Thank you thank you so much. Your videos helped me to heal so much. You guys are truly angelic . Much love, gratitude 🙏 💚💙
@Annesha Das Gupta - Ah, here we try to do things a little differently to everyone else. We believe in the power of connection, in the decency of a good reply.

Liewe Antoinette lief vir jou program, wou vra my ma het 'n krui gebruik wat sy bitter apel genoem het. Goed vir kinders se maaggie krampe en winde. Het ongelikkig nie ag geslaap hoe die plantjie rerrig lyk nie. Help asb
I just found this channel yesterday and i can't help but watch all of your videos. It makes me calm, It's as if i am connected to their life. Working in a fast phase city will make you feel like there is no enough time to do all the things that you wanted to do. But watching these people makes me realize that it is possible to live one day at a time and it makes me crave for a life with nature and dogs ♥
We're so glad that you've found these films Anne, and we hope that you enjoy many of the 200+ films that we have already shared... and still so much more to come. We send you love. Justine and Michael 💚
We would like to thank you for your contribution and support for our work L A. We appreciate it, it means a lot to us. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
We have two more videos with Antoinette on our channel: ‘My Wish for Humanity’ (ua-cam.com/video/dQRh0z3ckSc/v-deo.html) and 'A Life of Meaning’ (ua-cam.com/video/dInBDy4Oh7g/v-deo.html).💚
Unfortunately I haven't lived in nature like you. I have always lived in small city in an island, my first 13years of life. Later on, another big city, NYC, USA. I was a sad youth, looking to find myself and find another way of life. But it took me 74 years to come to the realization that "Nature" is in me. Life is in me through a Higher power WHO created me and gave me the gift of life. Although those around me created misery, I have been reaching for the STARS 🤩
In part, one gifts is calligraphy . I'd love to do a card with a simple ,"THANK YOU, " for her. She just fed my Soul in ways in which, I have no words to express.😭 (tears of gratitude)
@Eunida pieters - So glad to hear that you found resonance with Antoinette's story. I hope that you keep tuned into our channel - we release a brand new film every single Wednesday, and have so much more coming up in the weeks and months ahead. So be sure to subscribe so that you don't miss a thing :). Justine x
A great big thank you to the wonderful people of Green Ranaissance for creating beautiful works of art and inspiration. I subscribed to your channel months ago after watching this video and lately I've been watching it every single day. For me it is a meditative journey that brings so much peace, love, kindness, happiness and a deep understanding what life is really all about. I can't get enough of Antoinette's wisdom and the way she plays with words. Love to all of you💞
@Alta Pieters - I LOVE this message. To know that you still find value in these stories, even after watching them numerous times - that makes us smile. Thanks for appreciating the true depth of the story. Antoinette is an incredibly inspiring woman who has walked a beautiful journey through life. x
Green Renaissance,I'll be allways Grateful to all of u for creating this soul touching series which r helping me to go within myself & know the true purpose of my life.🌷🙏🏻🌷🙏🏻🌷🙏🏻🌷🙏🏻🌷
@Wendy Dunnico - Thanks for sharing these beautiful words of support and encouragement with us Wendy. It's great to have you here with us on this journey together :) x
I was starting to wonder where all the animals were. I thought to myself, this lady seems like someone who'd be surrounded by them, and then they started to appear. Joyous.
Absolutely agree James - her books are amazing. AND - we'll be sharing another two new films, featuring Antoinette, early 2022 - so be sure to keep tuned in for much more to come. Happy hugs for the festive season. Justine and Michael 💚
Hi again James. Just wanted to let you know to be sure to tune in this coming Saturday. Our new film launches, and it features none other than Antoinette 💚

Thanks so much for your kind words. We're not an organisation - just a tiny team of three people who use our spare time, and our craft, to create and share these stories of inspiration. Glad that you're enjoying them - and keep tuned for much more to come xx
HERE I AM AGAIN......IM GONNA TAKE HER ADVICE.......WHAT A BLESSINGS SHE IS......NO WORDS......

I just discovered these stories as well. Such good medicine at times like these they’ve really helped my heart. I was so thrilled when I saw how many stories you’ve done! Thank you.
I am Dutch and am absolutely in awe of the beautiful Afrikaans, such a rich and poetic language.
That's awesome, yes it truly is beautiful, and so descriptive 💚 Look up some Afrikaans poetry and prepared to be deeply moved!

"To be born is enough"
What a beautiful jawdropping statement
The truth is so simple and makes my heart wide, deep and full of serenity.
“If you look at at zero, you see nothing. You look through it and you see everything”, such uplifting words.
Absolutely beautiful 💚
Just pearls of wisdom 🙏
Yes indeed they were . ♥️🙏

Contentment happiness and peace doesn't come from material things outside but it's found deep inside in each and every one of us.
A beautiful balance between words and images, the images tender, seeking, caressing, the words heart-felt, descriptive, deep, personal and shaped by her soul. Binnenlandskap, wat mooi...
Thank you Marc, so wonderful that Antoinette's message, this video meant so much to you. Warm greetings, Justine and Michael.💚
Such a deep truth being lived in this woman. She has touched my heart and reminded me to love myself with kindness and respect. ♥️
It thrills us that that Antoinette's words touched you so deeply Julie. There was a second film with her released the other day - 'My Wish for Humanity', in case you haven't watched it yet. A further film with her will be released in the next while. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Interesante cuando dice "Ahí recuerdo quien soy". Antoinette, una mujer de cierta edad con gran sabiduría nos trasmite a su vez que cuando se cumplan nuestros sueños "vivir en la naturaleza con un pastor de ovejas" aún queda un camino por recorrer porque a nadie, sea cual sea la naturaleza de tus sueños, te van a grabar a cincel quien eres. La calma en la vida es una de las herramientas para alcanzar tus sueños.
Un relato que llega a alcanzar mi alma con gran magnitud. Un ser extraordinario 💚
Gracias
Thank you for sharing your peace + wisdom Antoinette 🌛🌞💙
Somebody who knows that all life is one life. So peaceful. Beautiful being and beautiful film.

Such a wisdom!!! A video to watch periodically to remember what is important. Maybe simplicity and connection with oneself, nature and people is the secret for an happier life. God bless humanity and gives us perspective. Thank you Antoniette for your testimony and thank you to this channel for posting this experience of life!!!
You are so welcome Mariella, we agree with you that this lady has so much wisdom to share. We love going back to watch her film.

I’ve been sending these to friends. I’m addicted to Green Renaissance and when others watch them they are feeling the same. I feel so grateful.
Thank you so much for sharing, much appreciated. We are so happy you enjoy our work so much. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
So beautiful to hear Afrikaans spoken like this. What an amazing and brave person!
Thank you, I was wondering what language that was.
It sounds similar to Old Norse, to Icelandic, to some Norwegian dialects, quite different from Dutch.
I was also wondering what language it was - but I didn’t know that Afrikaans had so many Arabic words (which i speak - and led me to think that this was perhaps Turkish or Farsi)?
Beautiful reminder. We all need to hear this from time to time.
This is the 3rd time I'm watching this video...and I have infact watched all your 197+33 videos...and watched them in a hurry...now I'm watching them slowly...reliving each moment as you shot them...love u guys...you are amazing...Justine,Michael,Warren,

These words are such a lesson to practice for me. 🙂

@Dallas Du Toit - shooo - beautiful words Dallas. Thanks for the compliment, and keep tuned in for so much more to come in the weeks and months ahead :)
This movie was medicine for my psyche and helped the last tears wash out of me, leaving my lungs clear. Her dogs brought Anubis to make me see I am light as a feather. I am Zero. AllThatIs can be seen through me. So grateful

Liewe Antoinette lief vir jou program, wou vra my ma het 'n krui gebruik wat sy bitter apel genoem het. Goed vir kinders se maaggie krampe en winde. Het ongelikkig nie ag geslaap hoe die plantjie rerrig lyk nie. Help asb
Wat is deze vrouw een prachtige vrouw!!!
Every video you put out is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you so much for helping me to heal my heart and soul during a difficult time.
@Humans Are Okay - We're sending you much love and kindness xxxx
I just found this channel yesterday and i can't help but watch all of your videos. It makes me calm, It's as if i am connected to their life. Working in a fast phase city will make you feel like there is no enough time to do all the things that you wanted to do. But watching these people makes me realize that it is possible to live one day at a time and it makes me crave for a life with nature and dogs ♥
We're so glad that you've found these films Anne, and we hope that you enjoy many of the 200+ films that we have already shared... and still so much more to come.
We send you love. Justine and Michael 💚
Och, wat mooi, dankuwel voor deze vrouw, voor deze video, voor het delen van deze wijsheid....zou u zo even willen omhelzen om te danken...
Wonderbaarlik
Thank you for sharing such wisdom. It's a beautiful way to start my day.
We would like to thank you for your contribution and support for our work L A. We appreciate it, it means a lot to us. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
We have two more videos with Antoinette on our channel: ‘My Wish for Humanity’ (ua-cam.com/video/dQRh0z3ckSc/v-deo.html) and 'A Life of Meaning’ (ua-cam.com/video/dInBDy4Oh7g/v-deo.html).💚
Unfortunately I haven't lived in nature like you. I have always lived in small city in an island, my first 13years of life. Later on, another big city, NYC, USA. I was a sad youth, looking to find myself and find another way of life. But it took me 74 years to come to the realization that "Nature" is in me. Life is in me through a Higher power WHO created me and gave me the gift of life. Although those around me created misery, I have been reaching for the STARS 🤩
Thank you for sharing. There is a second video with Antoinette, 'My Wish For Humanity', not sure if you have watched it.💚
What a wonderful peace about herself like someone else commented I would love to sit at her feet and listen and learn God Bless her
💚
In part, one gifts is calligraphy . I'd love to do a card with a simple ,"THANK YOU, " for her. She just fed my Soul in ways in which, I have no words to express.😭 (tears of gratitude)
@Lordy Maah - I'll share this message with her :)
So much wisdom from someone I did not know....may God bless you....
Sjoe! In these trying times, I feels so blessed with this enormous message of gratitude, and contentment...THANK YOU!x
