Living an authentic life in New Zealand's countryside | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

- Six kids and 50 wild horses, a beach, a mountain and a burnt-down house.
Against the stunning beauty of New Zealand's rugged Ruahine Mountains, Peter Karena and his wife Colleen struggle to instil in their kids the values of independence, courage and happiness.
The family has little in the way of material possession but they possess a physicality most of us can only dream of. The children ride bareback as they hunt and play in the wild. Unafraid and untamed, they are supremely confident, as if risk is an alien concept.
Documentary: "This way of life"
Direction: Thomas Burstyn
Production: Cloud South Film

What will you say to Peter and Coleen if you had the chance to meet them ?
The horses, the smiles, the heart ,I would ask the family to model my vintage clothes… and it would be so beautiful 🙏🏻😘🥰💐🌸🪷🌹🌻🌼🌺what not
Or eBay or both
People would love knowing the money was going to help provide stability for this dreamy team🌈🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼
I would say that I’m proud of you for keeping you beliefs & way of life. You don’t just have a family, you have a Tribe lol. Freedom is a Very important part of life & what I saw watching…. Well the free spirit of riding a horse bare back & hair flying in the wind just warmed my heart.
Many think material items is what they need…. How sad for them.😢
We learn by trial & error, let go & move on.
I cried when you found photos amongst the burned ruins. Pictures are something that can never be replaced once gone.
My love to you and your beautiful family

His father sounds like a sour lemon and is missing out on the love of a beautiful family. They are living a beautiful life we all could learn from.
I'd ask them how they pay for everything.
Brother Pete you are the Man , when you Said you didn't want your kids around Violence i knew str8 away you were a Good Man ... And Yes there Certainly is a God & in those times of Darkness there is Always a Ray of Hope... Your a Beautiful Man inside & out & you have a Awesome Family i wish all the Best for you & your Whanau ❤ *God bless* ❤
I love how this father really is interested in the personalities of his individual kids. He really gets them.
it is SO beautiful. LOVE is present here
God loves you so! John 3:16✝️

Now this is a childhood. So happy for these kids, they will never forget their childhood. Every child deserves this☺️
We lived just down the road from this family, when they were in the big house. I didn't know the parents but 3 of the children were going for a walk past our house when a rare black fantail landed on a small tree near to me. I called them over to watch the fantails.❤ Those children were absolutely delighted by the experience of the fantails fluttering around them, especially the black fantail. It was an experience I will never forget...like their energy synchronised with the delightful energy created by the fantails. Beautiful children... I hope you are all enjoying life.
I'm extremely proud that this man has chosen not to pass down abuse to his family...he's soooo much stronger than his Dad...hats off to you Peter
Sadly the docomaker & Peter hooked up soon after & destroyed the whanau
@@jennymaugerno way 🙁
@@jennymaugerso YOU say…but you are hellbent in invading all the comments section with your accusations and ZERO proof. Show is the solid evidence or kindly sit down and stfu!
@@alexiscolby9415 I’m not gonna go into detail. This is not the forum. Konohi kitea would be great. There was a trail of broken tikanga corresponding with the whenua. To see this ‘movie’ after all these years opens things that were best left to heal … being truthful
Stop lying. There was no 'hooking up' with the husband and wife team doco makers. You are implying impropriety. That's vicious intent. It's easy to fact check. Anyone believing this needs to check their heart.
I could watch 10 more episodes about this family and not get bored
I think they have there own UA-cam channel,I've seen it before
For surely, you're right!
@@cosmicwisdom999 Do you know what it's called?
@@cikiosos The movie is called 'this way of life'. This is only part of it, an edited down version.
Same love it the world's fucked they live good
The purity of love the mother and father have for their precious children is a wonder to see❤
The ultimate start of this story is the Father talking about his Tamariki.
He knew everything about them. Their joys, their vulnerability, their strength.
Oh, that the world would profile more fathers such as this ❤
We'd have a more spiritual stable foundation. 🙏 So truely humbled by this Whanau ❤
Great comment.
@@OTEAROA
Thank you 😊
Very true, he is a very good father plus his wife's strength..awesome story.
@@samael9445 absolutely
This was my absolute joy, I listened back several times. How many fathers know their tamariki, on the levels such as Peter. What a team they are, colleen aaah I wish everyone could embrace their level of 'beingness' and love. So so beautiful.
They deserve a parenting award. Those kids will create a better world. ❤️
To be pragmatic they LL only make a better farm
So Omahu where there whanau home and land was went through a full on flood in Feb 2023, the river banks broke and flooded right throughout our village.
Cleansing and a reset of our lands and whanau of Omahu. It was devastating to see it all under water.
I remember Peter when we were kids, i would come from Auckland for holidays, we would all run mad around our urupa and little LDS church ❤ i knew nothing of his sufferings as a child. But what i do know now is Peter your life is full cup with all your children, wife and horses and the calm of a simplified life. I do hope you are blessed with mokopuna.
You all deserve a happy life❤ ❤❤❤❤

A little sadness does
Go a long way
And a lot of sadness can get in the way
@@jennymauger really?
How are they doing now and do they own their own land ?
Peter Karena dad is a toxic monster. Peter is an awesome example of what a real father should be.
Yes. His kids are fortunate.
Sadly what is portrayed here fell apart fairly quickly as the filmmaker & Peter embarked on a relationship. If only it were only a movie …
@@jennymauger WOW! That's really sad.
Seems his father knows a bit more about his weak character.
Not true, trying to ruin the family, probably the dad, troll.
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 what a beautiful couple, with beautiful children and beautiful horses.
I wish I had grown up in a family like this.
Even though evil was thrown into their lives, they didn't let it define them or influence their future.
Loved this story.
🇦🇺Also watching today near Maclean with 54 horses. Wonder how it goes with them ? 😊
@@eugenio1542 this was quite afew years ago, and since then theyve split

These are the salt of the earth!! These are the people who rule the world. It's really sad. Tyrants hate these folks. But they will survive...
@@lxopenfirexl7007 ⚡️That’s heartbreaking🥺💔🙏🏼
I saw this years ago and have never forgotten this amazing family and the sadness of the victimisation they have suffered because if one obviously unbalanced man who is eaten up with jealousy over his son who has grown into a decent thoughtful husband and father. Heartbreaking and I hope their lives turned out ok.
I agree wholeheartedly 🙏 Best of luck to them ❤
I also saw this year's ago and loved this family a sad time they had.
Thank you for sharing with us what is a true loving family...So So beautiful ...❤❤❤
@@jennymauger What a shame.....pushed to step out of bounds to keep being the bad sheep and prove his dad right? who knows but sounds pretty sad if true.
@@jennymauger ⚡️💔😢🙏🏽
That Granddad is a nasty piece of work, who just wanted to control his stepson's every move. And when the father started disagreeing with him, when he started thinking for himself, granddad thought it would be a good idea to do everything in his power to try to get him under control again. Good on Dad for not continuing this cycle of abuse with his kids
Narcissists feel entitled to treat anyone however they want.
His pure heart and positivity can only attract good vibrations, his is an elevated consciousness. I only want the best for him, his lovely wife and their amazing bunch of kids,
Only pity and sadness for the step-dad, missing out on the vibrancy if the dynamics with his moko but mostly for his karma
What an amazing young family, the children living the best life riding horses being free not computers and violent games. I take my hat off to the parents and the beautiful way they are bringing their children up.
The hell with his stepfather he's the one missing out .
What a terrible way to treat these beautiful people. Mum and Dad are a lovely couple and the children are living a fabulous life and have an understanding of nature and how to treat animal properly and kindly. I wish this family nothing but the best in life. Their love and respect for themselves and each other will carry them through the hard times. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Don't worry too much about your kids future, your love and wonderful life will give them amazing characters that will help them cope with a modern world ....,❤
How beautiful for a Man to say He needs to be Worthy of His Wife. ❤
@@jennymaugerLiar.
I know I couldn't believe that when I read about it online that he actually did that
Yes. This is what true “marriage” must look like
@@rmf9567 So its true he actually cheated?
This family is so special. Mom and dad are raising amazing children who will grow up to think for themselves and treat others with kindness and respect. I hope their horse business succeeds and helps them financially. I hope this channel gives an update on this lovely family. I wish someone would start a go fund me for this family so they can continue their dreams. I live in the US and would definitely contribute.
The grandparents are the ones missing out on being a part of their grandchildren’s lives. Such a shame. How his mother puts up with her husband’s disrespect of her son is shameful.
She's probably terrified of him. A very difficult complicated situation for the mother.
unfortunately the documentary is several years old, their lives have completely changed... the family was divided, they ended up losing their horses..
@@Helloyou97 what do you mean by divided?
@@carolineramage7480 the parents have separated and half of the children no longer speak to their mothers and the other half to their fathers
If this family sees this comment I just want to say, thank you for sharing such a moving story of your lives. Beautiful mother and father and wonderful children.
@@jennymaugerwhat do u mean ?
@@jennymaugerwhy don't you just mind your own business or are you just jealous and miserable with your own life..ohh of course not..your living your dream rightttt 😅
Tell your children, and also know in your heart, that house was not special. You guys made it special. You are an amazing father and leader. I am overwhelmed with your generosity of heart and your profound wisdom in spite of the bitterness and jealousy of that horrible narcissistic step-father. Don't honor him with the name father. He kept you so that he could dominate and control you. He wanted to feel powerful over you. But you, in your beauty amd grace, beat him by attaining something he is too selfish to ever gain: the deep love and admiration of your children. Wish I had the privilege of a husband like you who could have fathered my children with passion, beauty and natural wisdom.
I wish I could see more of this family . I wonder how they are doing.
What really lol@@jennymauger
Nah all my crying..what away to grow up and his knowledge of the land and horses to provide for his whanau from the land.....Wana meet this dude man
But the director is male...do you mean the producer?
@@maree9819 apologies yes the wife

@@SLICEDocumentarycould we please have an update on the family?
@@SLICEDocumentaryPlease update us on this family
@@SLICEDocumentary Update please 💜
I knew these guys and their beautiful children my wife at the time was in love with them they were so cute. They used to go to the same congregation that myself and my ex wife. We went out for dates together 2 married couples. Use to go to their old house for tea. Peter used to make his own version of hot sauce using kiwi fruit, it was pretty good he invited me to go to the mountains with him he used to point with his finger to the horizon and I could see the tall mountain and always chiken out. They were a great humble couple fun to be around. Peter had his moments but he was a good guy. It has always been very weird seeing them in this documentary especially myself being from Latin America and yes I heard rumors about who burnt the old house down but I ain't going to go there.
I hope they're doing well after all these years.
Amazing parents, fantastic children. They're great human beings.
Thank you for the long video telling the story of this amazingly beautiful family. Raising children to be loving while allowing them the freedom to be wild and free is the best way to raise children. We have become a society that tries to legislate and create laws to protect everyone even from themselves. We have no right to do that, and in the process we become the jailers. God bless this family and may the love of God deliver this family from the hatred of his step-father.
100% agree with you. ❤️
Totally agree.
The parents & their children are one of the most healthy and authentic families you can ever hope to find.Proud,free, wild, loving, and steered by sound principles and morals.You lot are a class act.I held back tears watching this, as I could only have wished for such a loving and genuine family in my own life.I have absolute respect and honour for these folk.As for that ungodly step-dad, well ain't he a born loser and coldhearted fool.Some people are so stupid they can't refine themselves no matter what the loss.Their priorities are totally wack that they sing their way to the grave, only to find it full of regret😢
Those children are such amazing kids.
This father is packed to the brim with honor. A good man ❤
@@jennymaugerdid they remain together? I like to think not since the sordid beginnings. His wife is such a beautiful soul.
@@jennymauger do you have any proof to back that I’ve seen you comment that quite alot in this video but when questioned you have no reply are you related to peters step dad by any chance??
@@kefeman21kman97 what I was thinking.
@@kefeman21kman97my thoughts exactly 💯
@@kefeman21kman97she has that 'bitter' gene 😂
I swear, I think I almost live and breathe just to watch these kinds of documentaries on UA-cam. God bless Slice so much for making them so available.
I have just fallen in love with an amazing family. You are perfect examples of teaching your children about love! Please know hounering your father and Mother can only be born out of true love not out of authorization. Please remember you owe no-one anything but you truly owe it to yourself and your own family to walk away from the situation with a gentle heart which I feel you have. I am 72 with many experiences under my belt . No matter how much you try you will not melt a stoney heart. Oh I could say more but if you hold true to your who you really are Our creator will bless you❤❤❤ In Light and Love Elsabe.
Peter and Coleen, thank you for letting us into your wonderful world. You both are amazing people and parents. Keep living your life how you want to live❤️
Your babies are incredible and have a wonderful life, learning along side of you both to navigate this world of ours. You’re an inspiration to us all❤❤❤
How Peter's father could have done that to his own son and grandkids is beyond me, and then the man who bought the place came over and was so ugly about it, wanting to pitch them right out with only what they could carry? Karma is going to be really special to those folks.
May Peter and Coleen and their family have special blessings always.
What a lovely family. Mother and father are great examples of the best type of parenting.
A thoroughly enjoyable, beautifully filmed, story.
@@jennymaugerwhy are you putting this statement out here about Peter…what proof do you have…you are adding that negative statement about him and the docomaker on almost every single comment with regard to this documentary share what you know or stop being mean and negative towards this awesome family man. ❤
I admire the strength of the couple and the way they bring so much happiness to their children. I would have loved to have parents like that. Stay blessed guys, you are doing just fine and you have all you really need - love and horses. Peter's dad is just a very unhappy man, only unhappy people create unhappiness around them. That is my life's experience. So I bless his soul too, he needs it more than anyone. Thank you for sharing. Much love from Slovakia.
This documentary was outstanding....Thankyou for sharing Beautiful Family ..you are a Dear Man...who serves to show people, how to behave Better.. mum your unconditional love that comes from a pure heart, level and grounded thinking..you are both bringing forth, children that we will bless this earth going forward ..they will lead the way... Blessings.,May the warm winds of heaven blow gently on your home..✨💖✨🌟🧡✨
These kids look like all kids should look like: so healthy, so alive. I love it!!!
That was an amazing documentary showcasing a beautiful family that goes through so many hardships, but stay positive and full of love together connected. This family can teach us all a lesson that the moments we share together are more important than anything else. I fell in love with this family and I wish I could live like them. They are an inspiration and so beautiful to my soul. thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us. You guys aren’t doing anything wrong. Your peaceful, loving and good. I wish you many happy blessings and I send you love
Peter you have wisdom beyond your years. You have been given a gift to raise your children in such a humbling and loving way. Your children will grow into very wise thoughtful and loving adults as your yourself are. There is a reason for everything , but it is what we do with these challenges and how we react that makes us wiser and more understanding. You and Colleen are perfect together and that is a powerful energy with so much wisdom. What a fabulous job you are both doing. You are Blessed.
My heart goes out to this Whanau. So strong and so beautiful. What Whanau is and should always be! UNITED TOGETHER
This is the most beautiful family I have ever seen. What a great example of God's plan for family. Even though their earthly father doesn't seem to love unconditionally, this father does and so does our Heavenly Father. This family is the glory of the Lord and I have learned so much from them. Thank you. I will say a prayer from them all.
💜🤗That was a sad story. Such a beautiful family. He is a very wise man in his heart. You don't need to fight for what you know is right, just peacefully hold others responsible for their wrong doing. Love is the answer, what is the question? And Love manifests in many ways for the good of all. Thank you for sharing your story. Have a happy next chapter !!!🤗💜
Nawww Malachi!! Your all grown up now!! And have a daughter of your own!! Beautiful Colleen such a gorgeous woman and always treats my son like family!!! And Aurora such a sweet gentle soul!!! You guy's always have a place in my heart!!
@joanarc7963 pretty sure I first watched this in the early 2000's
Is there somewhere we could see an Update for the Family? I think everyone commenting here has fallen in love with them... Their story has touched many hearts.... Mine included ❤
@cowgirlemporium yes update please would be lovely. If you look through the other comments, someone is leaving updates of their own but not sure if it's legitimate or not
Please- an update!!
@@cowgirlemporium unfortunately the documentary is several years old, their lives have completely changed... the family was divided, they ended up losing their horses
This moved me so much. I absolutely adore this whānau and the way in which they live so freely. With this, I will be forever be moved by their humble and soulful ways. Beautiful is an understatement!
Because you are the better man and your dad knows that and it eats him up inside..God bless you and your beautiful family...I'm from Erie,pennsylvania❤
Oh my goodness! Nothing but pure love for this family and this documentary. Please an update on this families life!
That brought me to tears seeing their little baby tucked into her dads jacket, peeping her head out. You could feel she felt absolutely safe and loved. Such a beautiful thing to see.
My heartfelt prayers and love to this beautiful family, these people of the earth, these sons and daughters of God. The meek shall inherit the earth. This is what the future of mankind holds for the people of the earth, to live in love and respect and in harmony with all life, not against it. May you be blessed and your children be blessed and their hearts overflowing with love and happiness for a thousand generations.
You are an inspiration as parents, as a family and as examples for how to live an authentic, heart and soul led life.
May all your obstacles dissolve and your paths be made bright, and when this part of your life’s journey is complete, that you find yourselves safe, back in your true Home once again.
Blessings upon blessings to you and all whose hearts have been touched and enriched by your story.
Amen❤
Wow absolutely beautiful & Heartfelt message thank you Sister 🙏❤ Blessed are the Pure in Heart for they shall see God Face to Face ❤🙏
reminded me some what of my life as a kid. Amazing how we use scripture to suit us: Eph. 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; :3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Maybe his father should look at the next verse. Goes both ways, I've learned that a story always has two dides.
Eph. 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Thanks, really enjoyed this.
Beautiful family, a model of parents, I wish the world could see. These children are blessed. Thankyou for sharing. I pray his father's heart will soften, he's really missing out on all the love his grandkids have to offer.
This family is so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! The love and beauty of your family outshine the trials you have faced. Thank you for sharing ❤
@jennymauger 😲🫢 oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. What a shame 😟
Something here seems amiss. @jennymauger has commented on almost every comment with this same phrase. It’s all a bit odd.
@creechaaa hmm that is strange 🤔
@@creechaaa exactly what I was thinking. Even if it was true, why does she feel it's her responsibility to pass that bit of evil information on to everyone who says how wonderful this family was? Let's focus on what was presented in this film. If what "jenny mauger" says really happened, that is a sad thing for sure, but I don't think I would pass evil information on & on. Pray for them instead, and Jenny it's not your responsibility to pass on such evil. Pray for reconciliation of this couple if they've split. You can tell they loved each other very much.
@@creechaaayes she’s commented on every single comment section here and only within a 24 hr timeframe so she’s someone who may know them. She claims she is one the trustees for the whenua where papa owned the home but she’s a suss character to want to leave a comment on every single thread. Also the directors a bloke so did Peter turn 🌈 and started getting into 🍑 or did he hook up with the producer?? Either way she’s continuing the evil by spreading it.
I felt bad for Peter when he said, "what did I do I disagreed with him". I too Peter disagree with my mother and I am not ashamed to say that because she was very abusive to us growing up and is still very controlling in my sisters lives. It is not dishonoring to think for yourself unless in your heart you believe that you dishonored him and I dont think that is the case here. I love how Peter and his wife are with their children. Watching them freeride bareback was truly majestic. Such a quite blessed life working through the trials and tribulations that come their way. Staying focused on life what has to be done not outside deterrents but rather on family and all the joys and beauty it has to offer along the way even the sadness it brings. Stay true to yourself Peter this is yours and your wife's family raise them how you see fit. Peter's father you do not have to raise children the way you were raised. It took a lot of courage for Peter to stand up to you as a man before you and you should respect his decision.
Ah, what an incredible blessing finding those photos.
see what he said about if he lost the house..with a small smile.… “life goes on”… invaluable wisdom That he already had. Nothing is as important as your family. I love this family. I love how humble they are. How calm. I love how simple they live. This is how it should be.
Why has no one made a full on document series of this Amazing and beautiful family? Loved every minute of this video.
Yes! I could watch them for years and still enjoy it. ❤️

What a beautiful family bless them. ❤️
Shame on the step father for treating someone's child like crap!
Its getting increasingly hard to be able to live in such a way in NZ ... But this beautiful family embodies the essence of Aotearoa and what it means to be kiwi. A beautiful dignified whanau. I love the humbleness of the father towards his children when he says ^if anything I owe them^ because I shared this view with my own as well....... I hope they re happy to this day and that the children live happy lives. I hope they own their own piece of land where they can remain free with their horses.
These kids have the best childhood, i love that for them. Groving up on the countryside was the best thing that could happened to me and im very thankful for that. I want to do the same thing for my kids.
Wow beautiful documentary overall God bless Peter and his beautiful family. Hope to see more of them, He made the best decision raising his kids differently and also loving his wife.
Beautiful souls and folks is all I see, may they live an amazing life, filled with joy and love, surrounded by good people.
This family is beautiful and the way these kids are being raised is something more people need to teach their children 😊!! Beautiful documentary .
Oh how the step-evil dad used the scripture for his own good...pharisee at it's best..God bless Pete and his family...what a wise man beyond his age..the truth will always set you free. It would be nice to do a follow up on the family. 🤙💞

Beautiful people. Incredible family. Gives me hope for the world.
would have been nice to do a new show on how family doing now 2022, very interesting life. So sad step dad was so hateful. So full of jealousy and greed the stepdad had. Hope the family had a good life. Love the free life the kids lead and no fear in them.My children had horses and on weekend never saw them all day. They loved riding horses and been in the woods.
jealousy and greed, very addictive emotions like a snake eating its tail.

@@nuiwai5402 I’m local. The doco maker … hmmm, trespassing on our whenua etc etc etc (international film screenings & awards.

These are the true FREE people.
absolutely nothing but love for this incredible family, they have shown such strong resilience and incredible mindsets, to keep preserving in the face of triumph and just to have such shitty things thrown at them is disgusting to see. I hope they are thriving now and have a happy life
These people are so beautiful and bright, they hurt my eyes.
You are the most loving parents to your beautifull children. The meek will inherit the Kingdom of God. Stay true to your nature and keep the faith. I loved they way you value your kids. Welldone!
What an amazing family with such a positive attitude. They're only living free and the way we should be able to. Unfortunately our so called civilized society doesn't encourage this lifestyle and is poisoned by money. Thanks for sharing.
That smile when she finds out peter brought back all the negatives!

What an extraordinary personality with wisdome and a free spirit, he is like a Horse ! the family is one of most brave ones, to live life at its fullest with freedom epecially for the Kids.! Happy and sad moments - outstanding story fantastic filmed ! Thanks SLICE for posting a long vid.✌👍
Great parenting. Their children would be so proud to watch this and see the love they have for them. They should do an update
I saw this film years ago and now it randomly pops up in my UA-cam feed
Beautiful humble intelligent respectful I wish all mankind was like this again
I really enjoyed watching about your family. My father felt that I owed him but not to your extreme. You have a beautiful family and are doing amazing at looking at what is important in life, each other. You and Colleen are so loving and breaking the cycle of abuse. You are connecting with your children and that will make them have a heart of gold to share with others.
I would like to say - You all are amazing. A blessed family full of love. You all have gone through many worrying times. I hope you are all ok?
In the end we will all have to face our maker and relive what we have done to others in this life.
You both will see the good life you created for your sweet family.
You fullas are awesome and I wish you everything good🙏😇 xox

Stepfather speaking German to subjugate his children speaks volumes.
I agree, the family is amazing and beautiful. 😍🌿🙆🏻♀️
They deserve joy. ❤️
Stepfather is hard as nails and super nasty. 🤦🏻♀️
This was so good to watch. Learning unconditional love is something that some people have not come to experience YET- is what I discerned out of this video. Some parents need to come to it yet.........The couple in this film and all their children live an amazing life!
This man is so precious. Entirely.
What a beautiful family.....living life your own way.. It's great to see.
You both are amazing couple and people. I learnt a lot from listening to you both. Every kids in this world deserve parents like you guys. Hats off. Super proud of you all.
This is the most sweetest beautiful family I have ever seen in a long time with all these beautiful children living life the way we're supposed to be so free I tried to raise our kids in this way and we always had problems too wherever we went someone would get jealous or we would fix up some old abandoned place and then someone would want it but they still have love each other in their joy for life and you can't take that from them I love watching this it reminded me of my own children growing up I hope this family gets so many blessings that they deserve they are just adorable and precious❤
This family's presence in this day and time is so precious and so valuable thank you for being here 💕
