Isolated and Thriving: Life as a Family on a Remote Island
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Eva and her family live an isolated life on the remote island of Stóra Dímun, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. While they are geographically isolated, they never feel lonely.
'Loneliness is not dependent on if you are alone or have people around you. It's a feeling you have inside.' - Eva úr Dímun
For Eva it's the small things, those small good moments, that are important in life.

She is rich in a way that unfortunately, a lot of people would not understand. What a genuine and fulfilled way to live.
💚
Absolutely right. Life is a beautiful flow. If one lives a Simple nature loved life.

She must be rich in the sense of having money also... do you think these helicopter flights are cheap?
@@videosbruno she lives there, how often do you think she uses it???
As an introvert who loves nature this is heaven for me
Heaven is with the Lord Jesus with such abundance of food and land. No sickness and DEATH.
Same here
@@chelee9261 exactly
@@chelee9261, Amen indeed! God bless you beyond measure!❤️🙏🕊
And being with you makes me feel heaven :) hehehe
Great reminder that aloneness does not equal loneliness.
5:40 this is not ...aloneness , however i totally agree with you!
@@nikos2135 yes I agree...maybe more like isolation from the masses
😁
Think she says "we are geographically isolated, not lonely"
Cope
That is called inner peace, a feeling of unexplained peace and joy within ourself that money can't buy.
So true 👍
Ultimate peace is when you are midst of everything and still be peaceful. Nothing touches you.
Actually it is still Gods creation his creation reflects him but you won't find that in yourself at all you shall seek it and find it from no one else but from the very source God
So true.
Thank you for watching this little film, we hope you resonate with and like some of the other 180 films in this series.
Have a beautiful weekend.
Best wishes,
Michael and Justine
Until you got a tooth ache..
She rightly said, "we are geographically isolated, but to feel lonely is different.". I am an Indian, with cities full of people, yet I feel lonely.
We hope that you find the peace within. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife thank you for your reply.. love from India. Subscribed to your channel. Would look forward for great content like this.
Especially in the North. Most of my life I've been depressed living in the NCR, but travelling around am outside the major cities; especially outside north india, you feel less lonely. You realise that it's actually a nice country to be born in, everyone just lives in the worst parts, in soulless concrete jungles
I'm from rural India and it is lonely but very peaceful here.
@@luxinvictus9018you will be depressed anywhere if you are alone with no partner or children. God made marriage and kids for us so that we can have a bit joy in our time here, after this life its either gonna be heaven or fire, depending on if you are born again or not, if you know Jesus or not.
You can feel lonely even when you are surrounded by people.
She doesn't feel lonely because she is surrounded by the richness of life.
Good for her👍
So true, thanks for your comment.
Sorry for the ate reply.
100% agree
Das stimmt. Die Einsamkeit in Stadt ist ein Horror.
We would love for you to check our our channel - we own a 62 acre island on a lake in the Canadian wilderness 🌲
This lady has got it made. In my opinion she's the RICHEST person on earth.
Absolutely.
Yes
That's your opinion. Im the richest and that's my opinion.
@@samuelbradley8062Bro your comment is useless and narrow minded
These people are literally super wealthy elitists obviously....this is just like that kardashian broad and her private island, sick of this crap....and BTW this doc isnt about a family its just about one woman the whole time....
" To feel lonely, that's something else. That's a feeling, and that doesn't depend on if you're alone or having people among you. that's a feeling that you have inside"- very deep and very right i love it
Thank you for pointing out these words, glad they spoke to you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Whenever I hear people that decide to live lives like this, they almost always sound really intelligent and like they ponder things deeply. I think this is no coincidence.

They are awaken
She didn’t decide lol
@@LongBoy.0 why?
Yas but, u are not that girl in the picture right? Cause i think i know her
Her words really made sense more than anything - "When we sit around the table. i will not see a phone. They have to feel the importance of just being with other people directly". Beautiful!
a special place for introverts
Yesssss!!!
A dream for me and my family... no offense to people but🤷🏽♀️
So true
Bwahahaha
I'm embarrassed about it. But getting out of my own prison. Too much in my head, so I loved to be alone than people calling me weird or out of older when they can't relate to my intellect and spirituality. I rather be alone than abuse
This is my dreamlife: far from noisy, rude neighbours!
💚
Proves man is not Social animal.
I have lived in different places, in countrysides and in cities. I notice that people who live in country side are calm and more friendly than people in cities. The people from cities are stressed causing them to be rude and arrogant. They are always running here and there. They need to take time to stop and enjoy nature and things around them to calm them down.
Even when the cows start mooing in unison when you are trying to take a nap or get to sleep it is like a lullaby. I have such wonderful memories of spending all my summers on my Aunt and Uncles farm. We had everything: Cows, Horses, Sheep, Goats, dogs, cats, birds, deer out in the woods, we fished in our pond and had well water. We also had a massive garden where we grew our own vegetables and shared with all our neighbors which were all a few miles away from us, but they always came over to work the land. We did it together and we all ate together and had the most wholesome and wonderful life. I learned to drive an old Ford Truck when I was 10 years old on the farm and all the neighbors said that it was the perfect age to learn..giggles. We all rode our horses and had picnics by the pond or lake...we never once thought anything about sunscreen probably because we all had so much dirt on our faces from hard work.
On Sunday's we would all go to church, most of us wearing our overalls and the girls in jeans or sundresses. We all had fried chicken, potato salad, apples pies made from our apple trees (an applesauce of course) and all kinds of pies and green beans and corn on the cob. Let's just say that a meal like that tastes so amazing after a hard days work on the farm.
Your comment meant a lot to me because when summer was over and I was back in the city I could hardly stand the noise from the cars and the neighbors. Once you have enjoyed a whole summer of animals, family, gardening and fishing, etc. it is hard to come back to the city.
When I retire I hope to live where there is a lot of beautiful nature around me.
@@liviamon I wish you have your golden days back soon. 😊
"Just go out and put one foot in front of the other and something happens" - such a lovely thing to hear, especially when living with bad depression
@Jane Haworth - One day at a time Jane, moment by moment, little by little. We're sending you a big hug filled with love. xx
Just go and do things in nature! Do gardening! Go for walks in wooded trails the smells and birds just the peacefulness of it all makes one , peaceful ! Then things will start changing forward!
That the way.one day, one hour.one step at a time.and some how it gets better
Hope that now you see, what you've seen when you did the comment. It is all inside you! All my love from Argentina
Plant some cress seeds. Watch it grow on your windowsill, coming up to say hello to you. Then you know, you get an instant connection with nature. You can grow it on cotton wool, tissue paper or soil. Do that. Bless you.
Eight generations of her family have lived there! Its in her DNA to live like this. Her family is blessed beyond belief!
💚
This is what you call "Contentment". These people are the happiest on earth. They know the value of what they have which makes them rich. Keep safe ❤
That is so beautiful! We would love for you to check our our journey - we own a 62 acre island on a lake in the Canadian wilderness 🌲
Godliness with contentment is GREAT GAIN (Scripture)🔥🙏⚔️
Solid family unit ..no resentment no aggravation no competition no jealousy..just love and respect. How utterly wonderful
💚
So beautiful! Our dream too! We just bought a 62 acre island in the wilderness of Canada and we would love for you to check out our journey 🌲it's the adventure of a lifetime for us!
Are you sure? It's just a few minutes of film showing the bright side of life, do you think that these good people living in this place full of challenges got rid of the dark side of man? As the lady herself said, you take all the beautiful summer weather and also get winter in the package.
" The small good moments are the most important thing to me" . I love this woman.
Thank you - we also love this woman, she is an inspiration.
Huge respect for this lady. She is living a reality life whiles others are domesticated or tamed to live in a illusionary world. Nature beauty is the best pleasure.
Yes! I feel like people look at me weird when I say that our “modern” lives in the developed world is synthetic, in isn’t real life, an illusion created by the ego of humans.
Yup, having to make up our mind of who we want to be and what job would fit to our standards.
@@bobdhitman Those people who thinks that something that is not in their imagination dosent exist, is wearing a crown of ignorance. You dont have to convince anyone, nature knows. When sun lits in the morning it dosent convince itself to fall its light on shit or beauty. It falls on everyone with same intense. Let ur wisdom fall on everyone..dsnt matter who n what they think. Lastly, Its a privilege knowing you
This is great - but what society and resources built and provided the resources to be able to live in a situation without famine? People starved, again and again in such situations, child mortality was about 30%. Survival determined by the seasons and luck... the true hunger that gnawed, again and again, at people in so may countries before we had such technology to relieve us - what blissful ignorance and 'real life and part of the nature'? Totally selfish presented as virtuous - and for her children she lives her desires... sad.
Everybody is tamed in someway or the other. Freedom is an illusion. We're not free from our own desires and emotions let alone external forces.
I bought a farm in the rural part of northern Wisconsin 4 years ago and it’s the best idea I ever had.
Good on you, enjoy life peacefully.
That's what I want to buy I'm 38 single and want to buy a Farm and live a peaceful life ...also find the right person to live in a place like that
@@samuelherman4859 me too! I'm 35 and the modern race is draining me

Being in touch with Nature is the absolute key to building a foundation for happiness in life.
Thank you for sharing these words. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I'm watching this on my android phone on RUclips somewhere in West Africa. I think I'm rich too. I can get to her in her wonder land where we cannot all be. The most important thing is for us to be satisfied where we all are and make the best out of our worlds.
💚 💚 💚
Wise words 🙏🏻
I agree! I live in the mountains of western Canada 🇨🇦 and I feel reverence every day for the beauty and wildness of my beloved land. Life is a gift
Be satisfied or move!
Wise words indeed
"Are you going to get in trouble?"
"You are."
Smart woman ;)
450 ewes live on the island. They produce 300-400 sheepskin per year, plus lots of renowned turnips that benefit from the guano-enriched soil. There are also guest cottages. 10-14 people from 2 families live on the island. The capital is not far, which they visit and where they even attend school. The helicopter visits twice per week with supplies and sometimes even tourists. So they are not as alone, isolated, remote, poor, or naturally-living as you might think. That doesn't take away from the beauty and peacefulness of the place, nor the hard work it takes.
The world is too noisy nowadays. This family lives in paradise. They have peace and quiet and they have each other.
No pollution at all on the island. Paradise. 🏞
No peer pressure at school, no bullies either.
Soo trueee...so noisy
She definitely has her shit together, however, I can think of better places to live.
She is feeling that 'agony' of lonely life (eventhough with family she is living !)....u can see that in her eyes.
She lives how human should live… Many of us live like slave to consumerism
Great thing is, you do not have to live in isolation to experience all this. I live in a village in Australia and have life I truly love. Lots of nature, great people and ability to live in the moment.
Where are you mate?
@@chiefouko Nimbin NSW
Good for you dear,but some places humans are very complicated and someone may prefer such a heaven

@@hariseldon3786 Not to mention what they would do without helicopter
The peace and the serene is so beautiful

@Stephen Lacey God gives all free will. People die and you blame God. God does not hate all people but he does hate some.
Direct interaction with people! She is so right! Social media has taken away so much time for human interaction! Beautiful video! She has a wonderful life in isolation and she truly appreciates it like that! TFS
@Elaine Archibald - when we make the space to immerse ourselves in our immediate surroundings, we have so much more to learn than from our mobile phones :)
Being grateful, contented is more than ever one could ever wish to have....
💚
I'm watching this from the other side of this world... It's so peaceful there and the life they are living is beautiful and calming... Blessed are those to live with nature! 🙏
Couldn't agree more Divya,
This place is really special and awe love how connected to Nature they are.
Hope you like some of the other 180 films in this series.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Best wishes,

I have had children surrounded with the latest toys and technology and they can STILL tell me they are bored!
I never bought my boys anything that required a battery! It could "play" by itself what was it worth? Give them green grass and fresh air and a parent who loves them. You will be amazed.👍👍👍👍💙
Me too!
SPOILED BRATS
Nature is the best.
You've added to their boredom by surrounding them with the latest technology. Heroine provides the greatest highs and that's why it causes the greatest lows
I would love to see a documentary on the history of that family!
Same! I’d love to see how the first generation found it and stayed.
i wonder what's their thought on the way one family continues to live on a remote island for generations
Yes I wonder how they got so lucky as to have a whole islandto themselves
@Cole Young yes! 😂😛
I'm wondering how they got up that cliff 8 generations ago
“Do what makes you happy.”
“To feel lonely is a feeling you have inside.”
I could not agree more. There are people who thrive on other people's company and there are people who like being alone. Each to their own.
@@daisychain3007 I agree 😎
I learning something important from you guys
1. Alone but not lonely, my inner feeling decides my life
2. Put off my phones and enjoy direct moments with people around me
3. I can love and feel small things in my life
4. Everyone around me all them are amazing
Thanks for making this video for us ❤
So beautifully described what this video taught you and how much you appreciated it. May this experience carry you in the days to come. Nice to have you with us on our journey. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Wow, a group of Islands far north of the United Kingdom (Scotland) and in between Iceland and Norway. Beautiful, thank you for sharing.
This place is heaven, everything this lady says is a gospel truth....very wise
I mean it’s relevant to note all of the imported materials and goods.
This is exactly my mother's dream. Before she dies she wanted to go back to province and live in there. Unfortunately, she didn't make it. I guess no matter how extravagant or beautiful the city might look like we still crave for some peaceful environment. Wherein we can enjoy what the earth has for us. Taking break with the city life and be able to wake up with fresh air and beautiful sunrise and to have a decent meal with your love ones without being interrupted with social media and everything.
Your mother's spirit is there and she is enjoying it.
Very true said 😍
I love nature, I can't explain the tranquility of it.
💚
Being connected to Nature IS the real life. Not being attached to the free market and the systems humans have created. This is a shallow life.
Ok boomer
❤
Not everyone can live like that. Even if all wanted. Simply not enough space.
What does this have to do with the free market. What a silly perception.
‘Free market’ lmao what a dumb thing to say
Truly inspiring......a content life is the secret to happiness and Eva said it right...
She inherited that island from 8 generations of family. If I had a massive island given to me I wouldn't leave it either, but I have to work my ass off.
This is great - but what society and resources built and provided the resources to be able to live in a situation without famine? People starved, again and again in such situations, child mortality was about 30%. Survival determined by the seasons and luck... the true hunger that gnawed, again and again, at people in so may countries before we had such technology to relieve us - what blissful ignorance and 'real life and part of the nature'? Totally selfish presented as virtuous - and for her children she lives her desires... sad.
@@hariseldon3786 Why is it selfish to live on that island, and more to point, why do you feel that this was presented as being 'virtuous'? They obviously have some sort of off-island income and supplement their food by producing locally. This is no different than living off of the road system in some place like an isolated Alaskan village. In ancient times, famine and death were common in these villages too. Much the same in villages around the world at different points in history that now benefit from better technology and transportation infrastructure to allow for living in such places better than generations prior. She lives in a multi-generation family location, that alone seems like justification for living in hard conditions as they do. Much like a family still living in their traditional village in Alaska. What is sad is your judgement of this lady and her family based on your own societal and cultural biases. Her children will be fine without your sanctimonious 'concern' for their well being.
@@hariseldon3786 probaby you can't do what she does....raising animals, grow your own food, be alone, no net, no Starbucks, no Wal-Mart, or whatever you fancy. She got skills and able to have a great life for her kid. Not everyone needs nonsense in their life.
@@mydear6788 lol I grow a lot of stuff, don't go to Starbaucks or WalMart, my kids are happy and realistic. so lol
@CHK MKHan but the big corps would find a way to destroy it. She is a conservator of the land.
The hard part is that while she loves her life there, he children may want to move from the island in their adulthood. They will be in for a huge culture shock. While she has given them an incredibly rich life, they are at a disadvantage when they go to live off of the island.
This seems so beautiful if only time stood still. But alas, it does not. And life is short. What happens when everyone ages and dont function as they once did. God bless them and give them a strong future.
People in London generally feel more alone than this lady.
You need to talk to each other more, I dont live in London but whenever I visit I think it is great (apart from the traffic) , try coming to sleepy tunbridge wells! Anyone in London could choose to be urban hunter gatherers. I found some logs today on a dog walk, I'll be back to collect them, perfect present for my girlfriend as I don't have a fire, beats shopping on amazon!
that's the irony, right? together but alone
The worst kind of loneliness is the one where you have thousands of people around you...
Feeling alone in the wild can give you some tranquility, feeling lonely in the middle of Alexanderplatz in Berlin is outright depressing.
@@serujioraiton2811 I visited there. It was a wonderful experience. Wish I could go again
Cause you fucking suck
Imagine living in a place where everyone and all the systems aren't telling you what you have to do; grow up to take out tens of thousands in loans so you can get a degree and get a job so you can become another consumer and get more stuff and pay more interest and all along the way put relationships and people to the side, or worse. What most of us think is freedom is a trap and we don't know it until the chance is lost.
@kateri17 - Sadly, it's true. But we can all, each, individually, choose a different path. Hugs to you on your beautiful journey x
so true kateri17 !
Well said ❤
@@j.f.7509 very true
@Kanikapila Ho'ohanai How much support is required for people to live this lifestyle in the 21st century though? I doubt the helicopter route is break -even, let alone profitable. She's worried about the Internet, I doubt that they got wireless Internet on the island because it's profitable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the lifestyle, or the people. They were there before all that. I'm saying the lifestyle as presented is made possible by a whole community of people supporting each other both on the island and in the larger Faroe Islands community. It's not rugged individualism that makes it go.
To Justine and Michael - and whoever is involved in the making of this channel; I have watched a few of your videos now, and I just want to thank you for putting out such beautiful, and rich content. I love what you do.
Ahhh, what precious words of support. THANK YOU Siobhan for joining us on this journey, and for appreciating each story that we share. Keep tuned in because we're working on so much more that we'll be sharing in the weeks and months ahead. Much love to you. Justine and Michael 💚
I couldn't agree more, Siobhan. Somehow the RUclips algorithm did something right for a change and I watched the secrets to a good marriage video and immediately subscribed to the channel immediately after. After feeling incredibly low and disheartened lately from the overwhelming sense of negativity on social media, this is truly a breath of fresh air - a 'restores my faith in humanity' if you will.
Beautifully filmed, beautiful stories, beautiful people.

Boredom is a springboard for creativity and imagination.
Can be, not "is"
This is soooo beautiful ...yes she was so right ...we r spending our time on social media most of the time .. don't have much connection with family and frnds the way it has to be .. she is really blessed and yes nature is so wonderful ...the food she eats and drinks must b healthy same like her surrounding. .. fresh air to breath ... silent quite place to live. ..it's like a dream land for me ...just love it 😊❤
It makes us smile to hear you draw inspiration from our films Aieshath. If you have any connection with horses, you'll love this weeks film - out on Wednesday :)
Just look at her face , u dont have to ask if she's happy or satisfied
she is stuck with a bunch of animals and kids on a island. her choice but not for everybody ....
This life is a piece of heaven on earth. too lucky to have this place. God bless you.
💚
There is a woman in my country who lives alone on an isolated island and she doesn't even have a house! She sleeps on the beach shore, grows all her food and hunts for food and she swims with whales. She's literally a cast away from many years ago but she chose to stay and live on the island.
Wow she sounds fascinating - love to meet her one day.
Fascinating do you have some more info so I can Google her...I'm intrigued 🙂
can we get more infos pleaseeeee
I know a guy who lives kinda like that in my local park .
"Put one foot in front of the other then go out and something will happen" this reminds me of my child hood growing up poor in the city but we went out and had fun without money or expensive video game consoles ,oh I missed those days I would love to relieve it again
Its dream of my life... She is mingaled with nature... Luckiest lady...Best wishes for her.
When people have deep understanding of life and are satisfied with their mind, heart and soul, you can live anywhere and project the same attitude towards others.. Just as this woman. Find peace inside yourself..
@LogicM deWet - Great words, and we wholeheartedly agree. 💚
So beautiful. No tension in life. Just " let the weather decide what to do next"...... isn't it complete freedom.
So glad this video resonated with you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
She is rich, this is my dream life. Not far off from my life now, but the silence must be so wonderful there. ❤️
@illuminOz The island has a regular helicopter service twice a week. In the part of the world where this island is located, there are services provided for the citizens, so you don't have to own your own helicopter (or pay your medical bills), since those costs are shared by everyone through taxes. It works pretty neatly.
@illuminOz Sure, but you see, if people and companies share the cost, i.e. the way it is done in Northern Europe, it works very well, as opposed to the US, where everyone has to fend for themselves.
@illuminOz Yes, I must be naive. I am Scandinavian, so I know the system;) As you might have noted, these are the Faroe Islands. No highways, no trains (very expensive as I'm sure you know), no bridges. This helicopter probably serves more islands than this one. Anyway, I think it is kind of silly to criticise a system that you apparently do not know at all, and judge it by your own standards.
@illuminOz I'm not sure if you noticed, there is a lighthouse on the island. Maybe they are also the lighthouse keepers who need to ensure the safety of shipping in the area.
There are many people around the world who live in remote areas/islands maintaining lighthouses for the benefit of many - and they too require supplies to be flown in.
You appear quick to judge without the full details.
@illuminOz 'cute' that was silly to say and exposes part of your mindset..... I know of a few lighthouses in remote areas which are not automated and require daily maintenance. as well as performing weather research at the location.
The woman was also the 8th generation to live on the island.
A six minute video clip does not show or tell the whole story or history, so it is foolhardy to make assumptions.
With covid, her life is worth more than all the rich human beings on earth
That's right I agreed.
@@daisylatu6196 ; I would need TREES.
to be honest, this is the perfect life. being one with nature, having a peaceful and worry-free life, and being contented on what you have is what makes a person rich inside her heart. it may not seem like much, but it definitely means a lot to those people who are trying to seek this kind of lifestyle.
There is a woman in my country who lives alone on an isolated island and she doesn't even have a house, the Island is WAY more remote and Isolated than this ladies Island. It's in the south ocean near Antartica.
Nice your life

Luckiest woman.... To live in such a paradise of nature.. Not everyone is fortunate like you
Not luck, she chose to put herself there! Very beautiful and amazing life.
Tulika you are very beautiful
@@missgrimm6807 Luck because she was born there...
The way they're dressed, the way their house is decorated suggests a deeper connection to the outside world that is not revealed in the video. She also sounds like a very educated person, and while one could recognize natural wisdom in a human being, there is more to her choice of words that suggest a more advanced cognitive development, something one does not achieve in isolation. So, we take the video at its face without knowing what is really behind it, and at its face everything looks beautiful. Other than that, we are approaching 8 billion mark, and and 8 billion people could not live in isolation on this planet. After all, humans are social beings.
@@sorellman while it seems simple life it is actually luxarious and privileged, not too many people can afford that choice in life
She is living in true luxury, naturally.
How do they afford to build and helicopter etc ?
@@Bambotb I have the same tots too. I think one has to b financially strong to afford it.

So nice to read your message. Glad you enjoyed this video so much. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I’ve had the privilege of visiting the Faroes. One of the most incredible places on earth-and the air was so crisp and fresh.
Im so envious of her. She's truly blessed at the natural abundance of thing we ussually take for granted. So peaceful and serene life. Her best friends..her children, animals and the elements.
I think this is how humans should be living. Amongst the land. I believe this is what we're built for. Another great video. I've been in this frustrating rut of how to live in this world. Now I see the 9-5 work, bills, saving, investing and the city life is not for me. I want to live amongst the land and have inner peace and deep spiritual meaning.
We are glad this video spoke to you, Cerelle. Maybe there can be some way for you to, maybe a door can open so you can live more in the countryside where you find peace and contentment. Stay positive. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
So pack your bags and move. I have a large house and 4.5 acres you can bu from me as I bought it for 3 b, but my wife and her daughter buggered off. I grow all my own food and trees for the log burner, but very lonely on my own so want to move to somewhere with my new friend. Am in Portugal where is very cheap to live and your big bills are a fraction of U.K.
Same here.
Love this and the perspective as seen through their eyes. I have noticed that those who live and love closer to nature, have such an expanded view and awareness- this is truly a blessing. Beautiful; and I am grateful. We are Won ♾️
💚
This is my kind of "Heaven on Earth", where you are only surrounded by nature and loved ones.
Just beautiful, in every possible way. I would love to experience that for just a day.
@M Kelly - It really is a special place, and it was such a privilege to spend two days on the island with Eva and her family.
Please adopt me mam :). This is what I need in my life. I don't want these buildings and all.
You really made us laugh with this message. Keep the dream alive Tarandeep - find your piece of paradise. Stay tuned for more inspiration, with a new film out every single Wednesday.
😂
same feeling ! I cant stand urban concrete jungle anymore. This island is heaven on earth !
👍
Lol
The most amazing part of living where they are; the love for one another and no wild or domestic predators!
💚
This woman, and her lovely family, have discovered the meaning of life. To live in peace and harmony with nature. With the sun on her face. It looks like heaven.
💚
It was wonderful to watch! So calming! Our dream too! We just bought a 62 acre island in the wilderness of Canada and we would love for you to check out our journey 🌲it's the adventure of a lifetime for us!
I wish this was longer, with all seasons… I’ve been rewatching it in loop for a few times and every-time I feel something deeper coming back to me. Thanks for this :)
It's a pleasure, glad you enjoy this video so much. Unfortunately we were only there at that particular time but an interesting thought regarding capturing all four seasons. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
The authentic good life. Not a lamborghini in sight...
@illuminOz my point is that the "idea" or "concept" of the good life from American perspective tends to include a lot of material possessions. Whereas this video highlights the real "treasures" of life which are: being connected to nature, having a close family, living purposefully.
@@designthinkingwithgian Yes, precisely! ✌
@@designthinkingwithgian All of that is just dreaming without any practical side. Get real.
I feel rich to have found a video of this place again....some years ago, I had come across a video about this island, and unfortunately totally forgot where I saw it....luckily today, I could see another. :-) Very happy.
💚
I wish I could live there now more than ever. So much hate, division, and violence.
Used to work In an office, wanted to jump out of a 15th floor window everyday. Then I quit my job, now have a house and a couple businesses while living in a beach house. If you want to try this life give me a Holler.. Except on Mondays, we go spearfishing or island hopping then.. Cheers
@Fraziely try it while you still can. The earlier the easier it is. M here in the Philippines and it's great.
"They have to feel the importance of being with others". It's the small things and moments that matters.
Can't agree more with her. More power to her.
💚
Yes, for me that was the most cherished moment of the video.
It added a lasting overtone through out the experience. I can only imagine the real life abundance lived through simple unity and gratitude.
The peace, the calm.....the heart.
To the mind that is still the whole universe surrenders.
I am happy for them and wish them saftey wellness and peace ever lasting.
This was delightful to watch! Thanks to the family, and thanks to you for posting this.
You are welcome, Louisa. So happy you liked it so much. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
A truely remarkable woman whose soul shines through!
Beautiful, thank you for your kind words Maria. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I live alone on 20 acres in South Carolina, and run a farm. All my food is produced on my land so i dont need to go shopping for it. I order almost everything i need from the internet so i dont go shopping for clothes or tools. I can count the amount of times i stepped off my property on two hands annually. Its not so different from their lifestyle. I would really enjoy living on that island.
Im curious why they dont use a ship for travel, a quick rope climb down from the cliff and off onto the boat. Helicopters are extremely expensive to maintain.
ruclips.net/video/y0rAg7k4kv8/видео.html
Faster and they can probably afford it..
💚💚
I didn’t see anywhere that would make for easy landing on and off a boat
In one shot they show a huge light on the cliff, this is most likely a Lighthouse and the family cares for it. The Government would support delivery of monthly goods being delivered.... thus the helicopter.
Just a thought
I can leave a life like this. My dream life.
She is the most riches person.. peace of mind is the most expensive thing in the world.
I remember watching this video a year ago and being facinated. Im back, because I think about it every so often.
Glad you were so impressed by this story. Nice that that you came back to watch it again. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
When people realize the true meaning of life they reach out to Nature.
I agree 100% - so true!
We did just that... This past summer we just bought a 62 acre island in the wilderness of Canada and we would love for you to check out our journey 🌲it's the adventure of a lifetime for us!
Fuel for the tracker? chicken feed?, power? water well? are they off grid? how do they finance the things they need?.. Id love to hear how they have been able to do this.
@craigslistrr O - Sounds like we'll need to make a return visit to Eva and her family, to make a full length documentary :) There are a few other films that go into these details about their life on the island - just Google 'Stora Dimun' and check under 'Videos'.
People truly living in self-sufficiency don't appear on RUclips videos.
What a beautiful and sane human being. Even if her children decide they want something different, she will have given them the gift of knowing this life and experiencing this deep connection with nature.
This filled me with a sense of acceptance of where I am in life. That i can create change and love around me; with nature supporting me.
Glad the video resonated with you. May it inspire you on your journey ahead. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
This is the place where I wish to live forever ❤️
May your wish come true... :)
i wish too🙏🏻🌸💛
Hi Sasmita how are you. Greetings from Ireland. Hope you’re safe from Covid. It’s a lovely video. Have a good day and stay safe 😀😘. Michael
When I've lived in places like that I haven't had time to be lonely.. I've always been so busy caring for everything.
You can see it through her eyes. She is living a happy life. Thus, she is rich.
This is a real life to live with out any doubt great environment lovely family
💚
Isolated but not lonely means happiness within, maturity within, intelligence within, realistic within, deep thinking within and etc.. People like her are inspiring and excellent for this unstable world.
Such a delightful video. It is the little things … to enjoy every moment as it is given to you. Thank you.
The pleasure is all ours Grace - thanks for joining us on this film making journey x
The kind of life that I've always wanted. Without all the nonsense bullshit.
😂Inchallah.. I will go to that kind of place like Iceland.
True. Setuju. Hidup yang paling didambakan. Dekat dengan alam yang sentiasa zikrullah.
@@mercedesbenzcaptainmorgan5484 it’s in the faroe islands not iceland
@Myth Tree why?
@Myth Tree why?
Isn't she incredible! What luck to find her as a guide in such a place.
So happy you enjoyed this video. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Loneliness is a feeling just inside. You can feel lonely in a crowded place. Heaven on earth is when you do what pleases you and respects the spaces around you. Im glad she chose that.
God bless, hope any corporate will not have bad eyes on your island
If God will give me a chance to experience to live in this place, I will be the most happy person in the world.
You can stay there for a weekend. It's not free though
@@AdventureThroughLife 😂
DO IT MAN
@@travisturnbull4948 i will. Someday. Hehe
A peaceful environment requires a peaceful mind. Being left alone with your thoughts can make you crazy.
She is one of few who will survive whats coming.
I remember these tipe of woman from my younger days on the farrms before Tv
@Flare China doesn't invade like US, they trade (more clever and effective)
@@faivrejean-michel8744 you might want to do some digging on how China has invaded the US ! CCP want all the earths resources for themselves...
@@faivrejean-michel8744 Economic warfare, china is invading economically.
US invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya. US and China are both devils.
I love this channel for uploading such beautiful and deep videos. Thanks for doing this. Lots of love & respect!...
Thanks so much for you, for joining us on this journey 💚
Internet relationship is not enough... we have to feel the importance to be with another people... SO VERY TRUE!
I wouldn’t be able to live there. I need to get in touch my friends and extended family. That is a very special place. And special family
