Several years ago I resigned from my position as a tenured university professor. My colleagues thought I was crazy. I just couldn't do it anymore. I loved my students but was exhausted by the politics of higher education. I moved from a large US city to a small southern town. I now live on 1/4 of what I used to live on. I work part-time and have time to hike, bake, and read. It's amazing how little I really need. Thank you for such wonderful videos.
Thank you Barb for sharing your personal story with us. Thank you for reminding us about how little we really need to be happy. Thank you for watching our little films and for taking the time to write to us. Best wishes Michael and Justine
I would love to hang out with this guy, even if just for an hour... he’s so grounded and just radiates calm. I’m 36 and have yet to find my tribe... but my journey continues. Much love to you all.
Much love to you to. Beneke is so grounded so happy to just be - he is very inspiring. You will find your tribe when it is the right time. We wishing you a beautiful journey ahead. Thanks for watching.
This was filmed in South Africa in Swellendam. This is so beautiful and inspiring. As a Zulu girl in the city life, chasing a career...i have to say, its a miserable existence. I am literally sitting in my car at work as i type this. Every time i enter the office, life just leaves me. I am gathering the strength to not quit and drive straight to Ixobho to my grandmother and start a new life. I am 31, i can still do it.😢
Your words touch us, it goes deep what you are sharing. The area is beautiful and inspiring. We hope you can find a balance and find a bit 'more life' again. That life can be a bit happier and more fulfilled again. May you find a way, we wish you all the best and strength for every day and your daily work. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
Do it!! Follow your heart and remember your family power!! You’re too young to give your life to someone that you don’t love as much or more than your desire to leave…🦋🦋🦋☀️☀️☀️ just leave, now!! Watch what happens! You are stronger than you know.
Don’t look back at 41y and regret wasting ur life working for some company that doesn’t value you and won’t take care of you when ur elderly…. Go live with your grandmother, have a family, build social fabric and enjoy life. You won’t regret that. Good luck, no matter what you do!
amen, to that, have focused on this lately and realize how important it is. and to nurture this experience for all in my tribe. i've let them know that they are members, has been joyful and intimate.
Me too...... I never knew so many others felt the same way I've always felt....just let life be. No rush... no running... for no real reason/ purpose. Life happens in it's own track.. We can't force to grow hair faster, grow our nails faster... all happens in it's time... English is like my 4th language, so hard to explain more in words 🙊 I just need to find a rural space like this.
“I want to stay in that frequency”. An honest assessment of one’s soul. How many of us have wished this but never heard the way to do it? This video gives us this.
Thanks Beth, each little film we make changes us and for that we feel blessed. I want to be able to be more like Beneke - to just be, to stay in that frequency..
@@ReflectionsofLife Learning to stay and be is a practice. Intending to do so is enough to move us in the direction of finding it more easily and staying longer. This is enough to change everything. Thanks for the well filmed and edited work. Very tender.
What a beautiful place to live and thrive. OMGoodness, so beautiful. A strong man is a caring, loving, understanding man who is not afraid to feel his feelings and be compasionate towards others. That's true strength.
It’s probably one of the most beautiful places on earth. One little part of the town is actually called Gods window. We would have summer camp there every year I was a child.
I left my corporate job when I turned 50. 7 years later, I am living a quieter, simpler life. Making art, meditating, gardening, cooking good food, practicing generosity of time with others. It was an uncomfortable transition. The rewards, now are so wonderful, well-being, better physical and mental health, time for naps and simple joys. Letting go of the ego pursuits of beings someone "successful" has been so liberating. I am enjoying being an invisible part of the web also. It's such a relief!
So beautiful - thank you for sharing your journey with us. And we're so glad to hear that you found the courage to step forward and make a change. So inspiring. Hugs. Justine and Michael 💚
I'm actually a student. How I wish this were the kind of things they taught in school not the "you have to be busy working and be successful and rich in the future"
Look to the classics, the humanities. You can pick up a full set of Thr Great Books pretty inexpensively on eBay, maybe even Amazon, or your local thrift store.
So true. Success is such a subjective thing but most people dont realise that and ignore u when u are not busy enough or making lots of money or fall into the accepted pattern of life the world expects you to lead. They are punishing for just being you. So glad to know there are those who think that life is not all about running and being busy all the time. Thank you.
What about teaching students : just to find your true selves and learn to be rich inside instead of chasing the material things .. that’s why I never understood the purpose of school .. it should be more real , more like home for your soul . Thanks to the Universe , I found this Awesome, authentic Chanel where you can meet your Tribe and listen to the Real people ! 🙏🙏
I've been in a divine isolation season for almost 2 years now. Whenever I go out "in the world," I can see how I've grown as a person. I'm 55, but I was raised by a overt & a covert narcissist, and after they died, my "Golden Child" sister thought she was gonna treat me like my Mother did. My dad died in 2004, and after I helped put my mother's casket in the back of that hearse on October 29, 2016; my healing started. I haven't talked to my sister in years. I forgave her for "me." But life has taught me that Not Every Act Of Forgiveness Comes With A Reconciliation Clause. This Peace I have today is precious, and I protect it by any means. Keep pushin' yall! 💪🏾
Thank you for sharing your story. We are glad you are doing so much better now after all the experiences. All the best further. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I can so relate to what you have said I was raised by a Narcissist When I was in my early 30’s my eyes were slowly opened to what that means and how it affected who I was and the decisions I made I still unfortunately continued to make decisions that were based on how I was raised And married 2 Narcissists over the years I am 61 and finally free of them but have had to pick up the broken pieces of my life and heart to start over Freedom and Peace are everything I’m doing much better but it’s a “one day at a time “ life which how we are supposed to live I’m grateful and thankful for all of the small things and each day is a blessing My heart goes out to everyone who has either been raised and/or married to a Narcissist Please get free so you can finally enjoy your life and every day that you are blessed with Love to all of you It is a journey ❤
Good for you. You discovered who you are, what you want and need. Sometimes.... that Golden Child becomes Scapegoat, too. Neither had an 'escape' or way to effectively be less likely subject to hidden or overt neglects, the mercies of perfectionism, people pleasing and/or being a part of what was to not be individuated, seen, heard - to belong. Can be so painful to see how the effect ricochets as role models gain/lose attention and ultimately individuals being seen as 'less than' or 'not enough'. May your quietude embrace you and you be free to be...as you truly are meant to be. BlesSings on the journey 💜
I am retiring from a warden position in a prison in June of this year. I am burned out and need to make changes in my life. Too much sadness and heart ache for one lifetime. Finding my tribe is my first priority. Thank you for the video. I may have a start.
Oh David, what adventures lie in store for you. May the second half of 2022 be a period of great discovery, of vibrant connections, of healing. Keep us updated. We send you love. Justine and Michael 💚
Another beautiful human being reminding us how to be at peace, how to be happy, and what is truly important. All because of you Green Renaissance. Thank you.
A man who shows his emotions has won a battle, so he is very strong. The purpose is to be and feel, to be here in the present moment, simple as this nice guy said ... this is being alive, not being weak. Another inspiring video. Thank you all 💚
I've always felt this about a man willing to share his emotions versus a man that hides his and acts tough. You want to be a strong tough man? Share your emotions with others. See how brave and courageous you really are.
I think he's actually young to have found the patient contentment that he has. In a way, he seems like an 80 year old in a much younger body. Beautiful.
I just found this channel & it immediately hugged my soul. There is So much noise in this world. I feel so misplaced & often like I don’t even belong in these times. I watch everyone around me glued to their phones indulging in their fantasies & illusions on social media & being controlled by algorithms. I wish people would snap out of it. This page is a breath of fresh air & gives me hope. I will definitely be contributing. Thank you!
What a fabulous message that has really made us smile Waylon. That's exactly why we started to make these films - to serve as a reminder for all the real beauty in this world - as a ray of light amongst the doom and gloom. Thank you for seeing the value. It's great to have you here with us. Sending much love. Justine and Michael 💚
'you live in the limits you set for yourself' ... couldn't be more true than this, wise words. My dream is to live like these people on this channel live, to have such quiet home surrounded by nature, with animals, quietness and Peace. Peace is the most important thing in my life. Beautiful video
I am a South African living in China. Such an amazing channel, many videos have bought tears to my eyes. Such deep and yet simple teachings through the sharing of a story. Your videography and story telling skills are so on point. Thank you
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. And we send you much love from back home - on a cold and rainy day here in Cape Town :) Justine and Michael 💚
I am amazed of how you are able to find such wise human beings. You must be in such high vibration in order to mingle with the likes of these beautiful people. Excellent interviews. Thank you. 😇
We have learnt, over the last 4-5 years of working on this project, that beautiful people surround us ALL every single day. When stop, and listen, and truly connect, the real magic starts to unfold. Give it a try :) love to you! Justine and Michael 💚
Change your limit and your world change. - this thought is life changing sir. Never have I felt more grounded to my being after watching this amazing film. And I'm so glad to hear those encouraging and eye-opening thoughts.
Justine and Michael, I love your channel. I’ve been chronically ill for the past 4 years and have been very isolated from others. The way you film and edit your videos makes me feel like I’m with the other person, in their world, and listening to their insights. Your channel is a beacon of light.
Your words touch us deeply. We are sorry that you are not well for such an extended period already. Glad our videos are a help and create a connection with that person/with the world. Wishing you strength, positivity and hope for every new day and sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
I spent most of the day and night on the banks of my pond with "my tribe." My ducks and chickens, frogs etc. I Thank God for this channel.... Brother James
Last January I suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of stress from confinement and stress from work. I felt totally destroyed, suddenly I couldn't function in the everyday world. Fortunately I found a doctor who did not prescribe medication to anesthetize me. He prescribed me sleep, walk in the mountains and respect my biological rhythm. I have come back to life thanks to disconnecting from the life that society tells you to live. It is sad that the dominant vital system among human beings is the destruction of their soul.
Thank you for sharing your personal story with us. We so happy you have reconnected with the mountains with Nature and that you back in rhythm. What a wise doctor you have. Have a beautiful weekend. Best wishes, Michael and Justine
This exact thing is happening to me now so thank you for sharing so I wouldn't feel alone in this. I need an alternative to the go go go modern life. My body and soul is tapped from stress, pressure, and expectation. This is the life I want but don't know how to get there.
@@meganwright842 I am also on that phase. I'm overly stressed and pressured with the society,dictating me on what I need to accomplish. But, I'm beginning now to understand myself. I am trying by taking small simple steps at first, realizing whats important,and what is not. I resigned on my stressful work, kind of a stupid idea since I need money because this pandemic is killing the economy, but I need myself compared to money, and so now a part of me is myself,gonna continue to find myself more. Good luck to you.
@@godofredo0409 Wow thank you for replying. I liked how you said you need yourself more than money. So do I. I quit my job three months ago. The time off has been great but everyday I feel so guilty for taking time off for myself and not working. That's what society has taught us I guess. I'm just so happy to hear I'm not alone in this. You take care too.
I feel so fortunate to have known this feeling, having spent time in Africa. I felt a kind of bliss at the age of 22 (I am now 58) that if my life had been extinguished at that moment, in that place, in nature, I felt I needed nothing more. It was enough. My soul sang.
Your shot of the hills between his swinging feet His oh so thoughtful way of herding the ducks My favourite grass, Melinus I think 'When you plant trees, you are building something so much bigger' Thank you 🙂🙏
6:09 my tribe may be small in the physical world, but if I were to include everyone on channels like these my tribe would be in the millions 😊💚🙏💚 There are so many beautiful souls living on this incredible Earth 💗🌍 I have so much love and faith in you all. 💚🙏💚🌍💗
"We are human first" Beautiful words, stunning cinematography, nature sounds & music in harmony & need I mention the editing. Genius of nature combined with GR's love of delivering their passion with great detail 💚
Each time I watch your videos, I think about something: when we human beings live with nature, we're alive, we're connected, we're spiritual, we understand life, we're at peace, but when we are in cities without trees, surrounded by concrete, we are lost, scared and sad...
It is easier to find connection in Nature you are so right. But I think we need to learn as Beneke says to find beauty and connection no matter where we are, just looking at the beautiful afternoon light ... Thanks for watching we hope to bring you many more films.
How profoundly I relate to this man. I work with tech companies and I need to change to this. I'm tired of the market and how the system treats people. Like him, I just want to be, and what is better than being one with nature? I feel happy for this man, tomorrow it will be my reality too.
"Find your tribe." is the phrase that sum up the desire to go back home, the real home of our soul. I write from Brasil and the videos of the channel have inspired me a lot to be a better person. Congratulations.
3:23 each person has to find out who they are! It took me 33 years to find my purpose and Creator! Commercialism has blinded people to who they really are! Covering up childhood trauma instead of fixing oneself! I’m so happy for you my friend!
What a visual treat this was! My heart definitely longs for a quiet life that Beneke mentions and is living. Thank you so much for sharing! I currently live in a suburb of a large city in the States, distant traffic a constant hum; sirens, helicopters, car stereos booming as they drive by in the neighborhood. As I type this my two granddaughters whom I care for part time are napping. The house is closed up for a springtime chill in the air. But I hear a bird's song. There are so many small things we can do when life hasn't given us the opportunity to get away from the 'concrete jungle.' I have recently added a birds song channel to my Pandora and I listen to it often, even in the shower. It's like I'm a million miles away with the sounds of a rain forest or a thunderstorm or the swallow's song near the water. Learning to quiet one's inner life even as the outward is so noisy is something I am now considering to be a gift!
Burgs once said, "All you need in life to be truly happy is food, shelter, and companionship....that's it." Vingettes like this remind me that I need to start living.
I would love to have a friend like this man and sit next to him enjoying a cup of tea saying nothing at all. This is what we are robbed of - community. We are either focused on money, or on work or on dating but not simply the act of enjoying the company of another human simply for being.
I love these films, these beautiful people...they help me to believe there is still humanity in the human kind...they give me hope and I learn so much! Thank you!
Being caring and vulnerable is very honorable. It’s easy to put up a wall and feel nothing but to feeling with your whole heart is challenging and rewarding. This goes for both sexes. Lovely video💗
What a delightful gentleman. That was such a soothing video. Since my husband died 16 months ago I live alone quite isolated in the country. We bought here 40 years ago. We were married 58 years. It is taking me a while to getting used to being on my own as due to medical misadventure I can no longer walk alone. At the same time I like peace and quiet and reading and watching my iPad. I wish though I friend like that sweet man. I send him good wishes from way down under.
Beautiful film, well done. Sometimes I judge a person by one standard, "Would I want to live next door to this person?" I would probably enjoy living next door to this man. He is capable of self-reflection, capable of determining his place on this planet in relation to the rest of society, content not to get caught up in a frantic world.
We are all human beings, long before we become human doings. As he says, find your tribe and let go, with compassion, those who are not your heart family. Appreciate what you have, for it is enough.Another gem of a video, they are all jewels to me.With thanks from Australia.💜
I find it absolutely magical how you're able to find people with the most beautiful of hearts and minds and get to have a 'heart-to-heart' with them. These videos seem to burst with the most incredible quotes from all the people who take part in them and i can't help but feel a sense of calm knowing there are still people like Beneke who exist in a world that seemingly only gives stress and anxiety. Thank you for putting in so much effort, these videos are true masterpieces!
@Ayesha Piracha - What a deeply moving message. THANK YOU for seeing the value in the sharing of these stories, and for choosing to come along on this adventure of 'life' with us. Big hugs from South Africa. Justine. x
Thank you! This is the most important part of our humanity and the celebration of being alive. Embrace the glorious delights of being present in our lives, just be. Living with love and kindness and the sweet responses to our world. That's what it's all about. This is an extremely powerful lesson for us all. Peace and understanding through our heart's knowledge. Absolutely wonderful to see and hear from him on this topic of being human and being conscious. He has such wisdom and grace.
So.....I just fell in love.... ☺️ Seriously, my heart expanded. What a lovely human being. And that setting is spectacular. Thanks for finding beautiful people such as this and making these types of videos, Green Renaissance, and thank you to this lovely man for sharing himself so fully. ❤️🙏🏼
I feel this deeply. I’ve reached a stage in this lifetime in which I opened my eyes, then I opened my eyes again. Finding the beauty and joy in the minutest of things of the most mundane nature is becoming a talent. Shutting the door on fear, hate and pain is a challenge that I didn’t know that I was up for. The location of this film, and many others, is absolutely breathtaking. It is not what one typically thinks of when thinking of South Africa. I feel the travel bug scratching…
So happy this video meant much to you. Glad the videos of South Africa have made an impression, maybe you can experience it at some stage. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
This man is beautiful inside and outside. When he said "you live within the limit that you set for yourself" I felt very touched. I've built these big limits around me. It's my mistake, I have always wanted to live like that, I still want it, but I'm always afraid. I'm a man older than him, but he is definitely more mature and wiser than me. I'm happy he's so free.
Thank you for your kind words. We agree Beneke is such a wise man. He inspires us to just be, to be free. Thanks for watching our little films. Have a beautiful week. Best wishes, Justine and Michael
Love this beautiful soul ...He reminds me of my son in so many ways ...bless his sweet sweet spirit ..to me he represents ALL! That is beautiful inside and out May God truly bless him and his life forever .!😘😇😘😇
He leads a really peaceful life! Wish I could live like this one day. Sincerely Thanking you for these efforts you make to spread peace and love and to show what it really means to live. Thank you 💚
Great pleasure - hope to bring you many more films like this one. We really also hope that you can live your dream to live peacefully like this someday soon..
I can’t stop catching myself in tears while watching this again and again, and I can’t describe how beautiful and genuine the purpose of this channel is❤️Thankyou, that’s all I want to say🙏🏻
This channel bring me so much joy. I suffer from depression living in the city. Im trying so hard to get out and live a simple, meaningful life. These people bring me so much hope and inspiration. Its never to late. Cheers:)
So wonderful that we can share these stories with you and they do you so much good. Sorry to read that you are struggling with depression, may the different videos carry you and share light. May you be able to move out of the city at some stage, we wish that for you. Sending you some sunshine for every new day. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
It was wonderful listening to Beneke de Wet..He speaks the same language as William Henry Davies: His poem " Leisure" What is this life, if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs, And stare as long as sheep and cows. No time to see when woods we pass, Where the squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see in broad daylight, Streams full of stars like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life, that is full of care We have no time to stand and stare. ........................................................... Thank you Green Renaissance for this wonderful video.
Thanks so much, you words mean a lot to us. So thankful you enjoyed Beneke's message and that you heard it at the right time. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I watched your video 3 times in a row; very probably life changing for me, particularly about changing the limits we place on ourselves - that is the first thing I’m changing. Thank you, most profoundly.
GR you guys are a blessing to humanity. I came across your channel &started watching your videos at a time in my life when I was going through a rough separation with my spouse. Your videos hqve taught me a lot about being me and appreciating the little things in life, to see beauty in all and really get in touch with my inner feelings/person. You guys really helped me in my dry season and for that I thank you a lot.
Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful words Gino, your experiences. We are so glad that our videos could help you through a difficult patch in your life. Wishing you all the best for the days to come. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I am 47 and in my happiest moment in my life even I am on my own living like a nomad. I watch netflix or youtube when I finished walking around the neighbourhood and I never feel the guilt like I used to feel when I was still grinding for living.
The wisdom and beauty in this young man is so inspiring. Peace and Joy to him and to the awesome Green Team from a grateful heart. His words reminded me of a poem from early school days: Leisure by William Henry Davis What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night A poor life this is if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare."

So true. Success is such a subjective thing but most people dont realise that and ignore u when u are not busy enough or making lots of money or fall into the accepted pattern of life the world expects you to lead. They are punishing for just being you. So glad to know there are those who think that life is not all about running and being busy all the time. Thank you.
Go ahead and teach yourself what is really important and good. 😊
What about teaching students : just to find your true selves and learn to be rich inside instead of chasing the material things .. that’s why I never understood the purpose of school .. it should be more real , more like home for your soul . Thanks to the Universe , I found this Awesome, authentic Chanel where you can meet your Tribe and listen to the Real people ! 🙏🙏
He seems living alone but he is one of people I've ever seen who seem deeply connected to everyone in this world.
He is a popular guy with lots of friends. Check his Facebook page. 👍
...may be thats the different between lonely living and lonesome feeling...
"I'm trying to be part but not stand out." Lovely comment, thank you.
EACH WORD from this man resonates like the most beautiful truth, in my eyes he perfectly understood the meaning of life.
It is perfection. Thank you.
Wow, thank you, we really appreciate your very kind words.
I've been in a divine isolation season for almost 2 years now. Whenever I go out "in the world," I can see how I've grown as a person. I'm 55, but I was raised by a overt & a covert narcissist, and after they died, my "Golden Child" sister thought she was gonna treat me like my Mother did. My dad died in 2004, and after I helped put my mother's casket in the back of that hearse on October 29, 2016; my healing started. I haven't talked to my sister in years. I forgave her for "me." But life has taught me that Not Every Act Of Forgiveness Comes With A Reconciliation Clause. This Peace I have today is precious, and I protect it by any means. Keep pushin' yall! 💪🏾
Thank you for sharing your story. We are glad you are doing so much better now after all the experiences. All the best further. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I can so relate to what you have said
I was raised by a Narcissist
When I was in my early 30’s my eyes were slowly opened to what that means and how it affected who I was and the decisions I made
I still unfortunately continued to make decisions that were based on how I was raised
And married 2 Narcissists over the years
I am 61 and finally free of them but have had to pick up the broken pieces of my life and heart to start over
Freedom and Peace are everything
I’m doing much better but it’s a “one day at a time “ life which how we are supposed to live
I’m grateful and thankful for all of the small things and each day is a blessing
My heart goes out to everyone who has either been raised and/or married to a Narcissist
Please get free so you can finally enjoy your life and every day that you are blessed with
Love to all of you
It is a journey ❤
Good for you. You discovered who you are, what you want and need. Sometimes....
that Golden Child becomes Scapegoat, too. Neither had an 'escape' or way to effectively be less likely subject to hidden or overt neglects, the mercies of perfectionism, people pleasing and/or being a part of what was to not be individuated, seen, heard - to belong. Can be so painful to see how the effect ricochets as role models gain/lose attention and ultimately individuals being seen as 'less than' or 'not enough'. May your quietude embrace you and you be free to be...as you truly are meant to be. BlesSings on the journey 💜
I’d like to hear your sister’s side of the story.
You live within your limits, you change your limits & your world change.,.. Powerful line
@Rajdeep Dey - And so true too!
Yeah.. that line hits me hard, i went speechless..
Makes perfect sense.
Not easy , hope is a great motivator. 🧡🍂🍃🍁
I am retiring from a warden position in a prison in June of this year. I am burned out and need to make changes in my life. Too much sadness and heart ache for one lifetime. Finding my tribe is my first priority. Thank you for the video. I may have a start.
Oh David, what adventures lie in store for you. May the second half of 2022 be a period of great discovery, of vibrant connections, of healing. Keep us updated. We send you love. Justine and Michael 💚
Another beautiful human being reminding us how to be at peace, how to be happy, and what is truly important. All because of you Green Renaissance. Thank you.
Thank you, every person we meet changes us, teaches us, we feel so blessed to be able to make these little films. Thanks for watching.
A man who shows his emotions has won a battle, so he is very strong.
The purpose is to be and feel, to be here in the present moment, simple as this nice guy said ... this is being alive, not being weak.
Another inspiring video.
Thank you all 💚
Thank you so much - we so agree, beautiful to see a real man not shy of showing his emotions, he is very inspiring.
Thanks for your message.
💚💚💚
You have a super special name
I've always felt this about a man willing to share his emotions versus a man that hides his and acts tough. You want to be a strong tough man? Share your emotions with others. See how brave and courageous you really are.
I think he's actually young to have found the patient contentment that he has. In a way, he seems like an 80 year old in a much younger body. Beautiful.
A very wise soul we agree..
ThankGod for like minded people!❤️
That's what I was thinking, too. He's an "old soul," as they say. There is lots of wisdom and love being shared in these videos.
I just found this channel & it immediately hugged my soul. There is So much noise in this world. I feel so misplaced & often like I don’t even belong in these times. I watch everyone around me glued to their phones indulging in their fantasies & illusions on social media & being controlled by algorithms. I wish people would snap out of it. This page is a breath of fresh air & gives me hope. I will definitely be contributing. Thank you!
What a fabulous message that has really made us smile Waylon. That's exactly why we started to make these films - to serve as a reminder for all the real beauty in this world - as a ray of light amongst the doom and gloom. Thank you for seeing the value. It's great to have you here with us. Sending much love. Justine and Michael 💚
You couldn’t have said it better…I feel the exact same way!
I love your term, "hugged my soul."
'you live in the limits you set for yourself' ... couldn't be more true than this, wise words. My dream is to live like these people on this channel live, to have such quiet home surrounded by nature, with animals, quietness and Peace. Peace is the most important thing in my life. Beautiful video
@sleepy head - Day by day, we create our own reality. May you find the peace that your heart seeks. x
@@ReflectionsofLife that is true, your words were so needed :) thank you
Life can be found in the peaceful stillness. Beautiful story
We so agree that there is beauty in the stillness.
Thanks for the comment.
True
Life comes from stillness, you are Life and stillness.
I envy this man...he found his tribe and lives a life of such beauty and simplicity. It gives hope to the rest of us.
I am a South African living in China. Such an amazing channel, many videos have bought tears to my eyes. Such deep and yet simple teachings through the sharing of a story. Your videography and story telling skills are so on point. Thank you
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement.
And we send you much love from back home - on a cold and rainy day here in Cape Town :)
Justine and Michael 💚
🙏🙏🙏
A quiet and modest life will bring way more joy than the pursuit of success, bound with constant unrest.
Thanks Jacomin, you are so right a quiet modest life really resonates with us. Thanks for watching.
Beneke's words had a profound effect on me. I bet he's been knocked around by life, but decided to grab his contentment and enjoy his life 💙
I think you are on point ... to have this personal knowledge and insight he would have to have had some disappointments and hard knocks.
Yes, he seems to have become himself as he says. That takes courage, and really listening to yourself. 🍂🍃🍁🌿🌼🌷⚘
I am amazed of how you are able to find such wise human beings. You must be in such high vibration in order to mingle with the likes of these beautiful people. Excellent interviews. Thank you. 😇
We have learnt, over the last 4-5 years of working on this project, that beautiful people surround us ALL every single day. When stop, and listen, and truly connect, the real magic starts to unfold. Give it a try :)
love to you! Justine and Michael 💚
I agree..they attract these beautiful souls because THEY are beautiful souls..
Change your limit and your world change.
- this thought is life changing sir. Never have I felt more grounded to my being after watching this amazing film. And I'm so glad to hear those encouraging and eye-opening thoughts.
Justine and Michael, I love your channel. I’ve been chronically ill for the past 4 years and have been very isolated from others. The way you film and edit your videos makes me feel like I’m with the other person, in their world, and listening to their insights. Your channel is a beacon of light.
Your words touch us deeply. We are sorry that you are not well for such an extended period already. Glad our videos are a help and create a connection with that person/with the world. Wishing you strength, positivity and hope for every new day and sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
I spent most of the day and night on the banks of my pond with "my tribe." My ducks and chickens, frogs etc. I Thank God for this channel.... Brother James
Love the image of you nestled on the grass, spending time with your pond friends 💚
Last January I suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of stress from confinement and stress from work. I felt totally destroyed, suddenly I couldn't function in the everyday world. Fortunately I found a doctor who did not prescribe medication to anesthetize me. He prescribed me sleep, walk in the mountains and respect my biological rhythm.
I have come back to life thanks to disconnecting from the life that society tells you to live. It is sad that the dominant vital system among human beings is the destruction of their soul.
Thank you for sharing your personal story with us.
We so happy you have reconnected with the mountains with Nature and that you back in rhythm. What a wise doctor you have.
Have a beautiful weekend.
Best wishes,
Michael and Justine
This exact thing is happening to me now so thank you for sharing so I wouldn't feel alone in this. I need an alternative to the go go go modern life. My body and soul is tapped from stress, pressure, and expectation. This is the life I want but don't know how to get there.
@@meganwright842 I am also on that phase. I'm overly stressed and pressured with the society,dictating me on what I need to accomplish. But, I'm beginning now to understand myself. I am trying by taking small simple steps at first, realizing whats important,and what is not. I resigned on my stressful work, kind of a stupid idea since I need money because this pandemic is killing the economy, but I need myself compared to money, and so now a part of me is myself,gonna continue to find myself more. Good luck to you.
@@godofredo0409 Wow thank you for replying. I liked how you said you need yourself more than money. So do I. I quit my job three months ago. The time off has been great but everyday I feel so guilty for taking time off for myself and not working. That's what society has taught us I guess. I'm just so happy to hear I'm not alone in this. You take care too.
Πόσο μεγάλη αλήθεια!
I feel so fortunate to have known this feeling, having spent time in Africa. I felt a kind of bliss at the age of 22 (I am now 58) that if my life had been extinguished at that moment, in that place, in nature, I felt I needed nothing more. It was enough. My soul sang.
@neckdaisy - And we hope that your soul continues to sing in the many years that lie ahead x
you have got a place in yourself to return each time, that is wonderful
What we need is everyone in our country to have this kind of access to space and time and healing.
Your shot of the hills between his swinging feet
His oh so thoughtful way of herding the ducks
My favourite grass, Melinus I think
'When you plant trees, you are building something so much bigger'
Thank you 🙂🙏
Thank you Hilary for noticing all the little things it means a lot that you appreciate them.
The duck herding scene gets me every time!
6:09 my tribe may be small in the physical world, but if I were to include everyone on channels like these my tribe would be in the millions 😊💚🙏💚 There are so many beautiful souls living on this incredible Earth 💗🌍 I have so much love and faith in you all. 💚🙏💚🌍💗
Beautifully written, thank you. We are glad that we could share his story with you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
"We are human first"
Beautiful words, stunning cinematography, nature sounds & music in harmony & need I mention the editing.
Genius of nature combined with GR's love of delivering their passion with great detail 💚
Thank you so much - we really appreciate all the support.
Wise beyond his years...an old soul in a new skin. Beautiful!
so true
Each time I watch your videos, I think about something: when we human beings live with nature, we're alive, we're connected, we're spiritual, we understand life, we're at peace, but when we are in cities without trees, surrounded by concrete, we are lost, scared and sad...
It is easier to find connection in Nature you are so right.
But I think we need to learn as Beneke says to find beauty and connection no matter where we are, just looking at the beautiful afternoon light ...
Thanks for watching we hope to bring you many more films.
@@ReflectionsofLife you're right, thank you❤
@@ReflectionsofLife So true. For me, it begins with turning off all the noise and tuning in to something peaceful inside me.
Agree..makes me reflect if what I m doing is purposeful
@@ReflectionsofLife thanks for the refreshing perspectives
How beautiful, this is one of my tribes. Thank you all 🦋✨💖
To be a part, but not stand apart. Be, but one. Joy ✨🦋✨
How are you doing 😊😊👋
How profoundly I relate to this man. I work with tech companies and I need to change to this. I'm tired of the market and how the system treats people.
Like him, I just want to be, and what is better than being one with nature?
I feel happy for this man, tomorrow it will be my reality too.
Wonderful. We have to overcome the fear of leaving the herd. Only once we master this we will be truly happy just by ourselves.
Very true. Thanks for you message. Hope to bring you many more films like this one.
He is kind man.He loves life,animals and all around him.That video gives me hope that everything will be ok.Thanks a lot for this video.
Thank you, we really like hope that everything will be ok. We live in a beautiful world..
So peaceful and calming....with a beautiful message. Thank you.
You are so welcome
So peaceful and equally uplifting, giving hope. Thank you for sharing your story, Beneke.
You are so welcome!
Loved this
Such a blessing to be surrounded with nature and animals.
"Find your tribe." is the phrase that sum up the desire to go back home, the real home of our soul. I write from Brasil and the videos of the channel have inspired me a lot to be a better person. Congratulations.
Thank you for your touching words. We are so glad our videos are inspiring you. Sending you warm hugs to Brasil, Justine and Michael. 💚
3:23 each person has to find out who they are! It took me 33 years to find my purpose and Creator! Commercialism has blinded people to who they really are! Covering up childhood trauma instead of fixing oneself! I’m so happy for you my friend!
We are glad his message resonated with you, Mike. Thank you for being happy for him. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Simply Paradise 💚🌱🐝💚...the mountains, the trees and the Light!
What a visual treat this was! My heart definitely longs for a quiet life that Beneke mentions and is living. Thank you so much for sharing!
I currently live in a suburb of a large city in the States, distant traffic a constant hum; sirens, helicopters, car stereos booming as they drive by in the neighborhood. As I type this my two granddaughters whom I care for part time are napping. The house is closed up for a springtime chill in the air. But I hear a bird's song. There are so many small things we can do when life hasn't given us the opportunity to get away from the 'concrete jungle.' I have recently added a birds song channel to my Pandora and I listen to it often, even in the shower. It's like I'm a million miles away with the sounds of a rain forest or a thunderstorm or the swallow's song near the water. Learning to quiet one's inner life even as the outward is so noisy is something I am now considering to be a gift!
💚
Burgs once said, "All you need in life to be truly happy is food, shelter, and companionship....that's it." Vingettes like this remind me that I need to start living.
Thank you for sharing this quote. Nice that this video spoke to you and inspired you. Sending you warmest of hugs. Justine and Michael. 💚
I would love to have a friend like this man and sit next to him enjoying a cup of tea saying nothing at all. This is what we are robbed of - community. We are either focused on money, or on work or on dating but not simply the act of enjoying the company of another human simply for being.
Touching and deep words - much, much to think about. Thank you for sharing. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I love these films, these beautiful people...they help me to believe there is still humanity in the human kind...they give me hope and I learn so much! Thank you!
You are so kind. Thank you.
I live in a great inner peace when I watch all this stories, Much love Green Renaissance 💚
Thank you, you are so kind - much love back at you.
Being caring and vulnerable is very honorable. It’s easy to put up a wall and feel nothing but to feeling with your whole heart is challenging and rewarding. This goes for both sexes.
Lovely video💗
Thank you. We agree, Fell with all of your heart.
What a delightful gentleman. That was such a soothing video. Since my husband died 16 months ago I live alone quite isolated in the country. We bought here 40 years ago. We were married 58 years. It is taking me a while to getting used to being on my own as due to medical misadventure I can no longer walk alone. At the same time I like peace and quiet and reading and watching my iPad. I wish though I friend like that sweet man. I send him good wishes from way down under.
We send you warm hugs and much love Carol. Thank you for being such a special part of our community - we truly value you. Justine and Michael 💚
Beautiful film, well done. Sometimes I judge a person by one standard, "Would I want to live next door to this person?"
I would probably enjoy living next door to this man. He is capable of self-reflection, capable of determining his place on this planet in relation to the rest of society, content not to get caught up in a frantic world.
Thank you Brian, he is such a wonderful man. I am sure he would be a great neighbour.
Thanks for watching this film.
I love him. What a beautiful, kind, wise soul. He has figured out the meaning of life......very enlightening. Thank you💗
You are so welcome
I could watch this 100 times, so peaceful and beautiful and and so many wise words and advice.
Wow - thank you for your beautiful message.
We are all human beings, long before we become human doings. As he says, find your tribe and let go, with compassion, those who are not your heart family. Appreciate what you have, for it is enough.Another gem of a video, they are all jewels to me.With thanks from Australia.💜
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Love back at you from South Africa
I’ve watched and rewatched these videos, but I never tire of doing that. It feels like I’ve come home. Finally , what I feel feels valid.
@Chandini Regidi - Thanks for allowing these stories to resonate so deeply with you. x
I find it absolutely magical how you're able to find people with the most beautiful of hearts and minds and get to have a 'heart-to-heart' with them. These videos seem to burst with the most incredible quotes from all the people who take part in them and i can't help but feel a sense of calm knowing there are still people like Beneke who exist in a world that seemingly only gives stress and anxiety. Thank you for putting in so much effort, these videos are true masterpieces!
@Ayesha Piracha - What a deeply moving message. THANK YOU for seeing the value in the sharing of these stories, and for choosing to come along on this adventure of 'life' with us. Big hugs from South Africa. Justine. x
The peace and stillness is felt when watching!🙏✨
Beautiful. His world, his place of being, his life. Covid took away from some, and it gave to others. At least from what Ive seen...
so true
Thank you! This is the most important part of our humanity and the celebration of being alive. Embrace the glorious delights of being present in our lives, just be. Living with love and kindness and the sweet responses to our world. That's what it's all about. This is an extremely powerful lesson for us all. Peace and understanding through our heart's knowledge. Absolutely wonderful to see and hear from him on this topic of being human and being conscious. He has such wisdom and grace.
He really as you say is a wonderful wise man..
Thank you for your comment..
What a really nice man. Someone i'd love to be friends with. Just a regular man, who is living his dream. All the best to you brother!
@Mr. S - And such a gentle soul.
Every frame of this movie could be a painting but its where he leaves . How perfect. I could wait too in a place like that.
He really does live in paradise. Thanks for watching.
So.....I just fell in love.... ☺️ Seriously, my heart expanded. What a lovely human being. And that setting is spectacular. Thanks for finding beautiful people such as this and making these types of videos, Green Renaissance, and thank you to this lovely man for sharing himself so fully. ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you so much 😀 We really appreciate getting beautiful messages like yours. Thank you.
Beautiful. Each words is like a balm that soothes a wounded soul or softens a hardened heart. To be! Powerful! Words do have power.
Fall in love with this channel! Got a lot of lesson about life in this complicated situation🙂 Thank you so much🙏
You're so welcome!
I feel this deeply. I’ve reached a stage in this lifetime in which I opened my eyes, then I opened my eyes again. Finding the beauty and joy in the minutest of things of the most mundane nature is becoming a talent. Shutting the door on fear, hate and pain is a challenge that I didn’t know that I was up for.
The location of this film, and many others, is absolutely breathtaking. It is not what one typically thinks of when thinking of South Africa. I feel the travel bug scratching…
So happy this video meant much to you. Glad the videos of South Africa have made an impression, maybe you can experience it at some stage. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I was so moved by this, what a lovely man and philosophy. “you are human before you are anything else. “
I feel so calm, grounded and ‘wholehearted’ after watching this.
Thank you for this beautiful experience.
Our pleasure!
This man is beautiful inside and outside. When he said "you live within the limit that you set for yourself" I felt very touched. I've built these big limits around me. It's my mistake, I have always wanted to live like that, I still want it, but I'm always afraid.
I'm a man older than him, but he is definitely more mature and wiser than me. I'm happy he's so free.
Thank you for your kind words. We agree Beneke is such a wise man.
He inspires us to just be, to be free.
Thanks for watching our little films.
Have a beautiful week.
Best wishes,
Justine and Michael
Simply..I love that he has himself, his animals all within his own purpose and choices.
So happy you enjoyed this video. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Solitude helps our souls! Beautiful life! We set our limits nobody else as he said reminding us to just be... so much wisdom... thank you!
Love this beautiful soul ...He reminds me of my son in so many ways ...bless his sweet sweet spirit ..to me he represents ALL! That is beautiful inside and out May God truly bless him and his life forever .!😘😇😘😇
We are so glad you enjoyed the message he shared Sara. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
A perfect offering for Beltane! Thank you!
What a wonderful wise and kind man. He truly understand the meaning of life.
@Saskia Gösser - He definately does!
He leads a really peaceful life! Wish I could live like this one day. Sincerely Thanking you for these efforts you make to spread peace and love and to show what it really means to live. Thank you 💚
Great pleasure - hope to bring you many more films like this one. We really also hope that you can live your dream to live peacefully like this someday soon..
I can’t stop catching myself in tears while watching this again and again, and I can’t describe how beautiful and genuine the purpose of this channel is❤️Thankyou, that’s all I want to say🙏🏻
This channel bring me so much joy. I suffer from depression living in the city. Im trying so hard to get out and live a simple, meaningful life. These people bring me so much hope and inspiration. Its never to late. Cheers:)
So wonderful that we can share these stories with you and they do you so much good. Sorry to read that you are struggling with depression, may the different videos carry you and share light. May you be able to move out of the city at some stage, we wish that for you. Sending you some sunshine for every new day. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
It was wonderful listening to Beneke de Wet..He speaks the same language as William Henry Davies:
His poem " Leisure"
What is this life, if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows.
No time to see when woods we pass,
Where the squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life, that is full of care
We have no time to stand and stare.
...........................................................
Thank you Green Renaissance for this wonderful video.
I was about to quote that poem myself, it matches the video perfectly! :)
This mans wisdom is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Beautifully narrated and beautifully shot.
Thanks so much, you words mean a lot to us. So thankful you enjoyed Beneke's message and that you heard it at the right time. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
You have accepted your blessings........with yourself and your dog. Lovely message in this and I thank you.
You are so kind, thank you.
I watched your video 3 times in a row; very probably life changing for me, particularly about changing the limits we place on ourselves - that is the first thing I’m changing. Thank you, most profoundly.
Wonderful that this video with Beneke spoke to you so deeply. All the best with the changes in your life. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Your videos always feel like high-quality food for the soul. THANK YOU AND KEEP IT UP 🙏🙏🙏
GR you guys are a blessing to humanity. I came across your channel &started watching your videos at a time in my life when I was going through a rough separation with my spouse.
Your videos hqve taught me a lot about being me and appreciating the little things in life, to see beauty in all and really get in touch with my inner feelings/person.
You guys really helped me in my dry season and for that I thank you a lot.
Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful words Gino, your experiences. We are so glad that our videos could help you through a difficult patch in your life. Wishing you all the best for the days to come. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I am 47 and in my happiest moment in my life even I am on my own living like a nomad. I watch netflix or youtube when I finished walking around the neighbourhood and I never feel the guilt like I used to feel when I was still grinding for living.
So wonderful to hear that you found a happy space in your life, that you are content. Long may it continue. Kind wishes, Justine Michael. 💚
What a beautiful meditative piece. Beautiful. Real. Necessary! Clarity in a world of madness!
@Theart Korsten - Beautiful compliment - thank you x
Whenever i feel this adrenaline rush to achieve more or make more money i watch green renaissance videos.It calms me.All your videos are a therapy.
Farming, books, country side and pets.... You find yourself. Thank you for creating such powerful and real life video
Our pleasure! And thanks for tuning in to listen 💚
The wisdom and beauty in this young man is so inspiring. Peace and Joy to him and to the awesome Green Team from a grateful heart. His words reminded me of a poem from early school days:
Leisure by William Henry Davis
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night
A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare."
I connect so much with everything he says; this is absolutely one of my favorite Green Renaissance videos. Thank you kindly 🙏🏽🍃
@Mαкєdα - We absolutely love hearing which stories you guys love most - always something different for everyone, and at different times. x
Ahhh this resonates so deeply thank you 💜 And it reminds me of this quote that I keep in my heart ; “ The world is full of magical things just waiting for our senses to grow sharper” 🥰🌲🌇 💐
So true!
Very true!✨
Thanks for sharing this quote💖 I'm not sûre i ever Heard it before. Do you know who wrote it?
@@manuc1697 W.B. Yeats. Not sure if you know EFT Tapping, but here’s a great video on this theme 🥰🪄 I Adore Tapping! 🥰 enjoy!

I just moved to a tiny cottage in a ranch in the hills. I love it. I can’t hear a sound other than nature or a distant plane or dog. I love the simple life… chores, yard work, animals, nature. I am only 54, healthy and active… but I prefer the simple very quiet life.
Thank you for sharing. Sounds nice where you are now, what you are doing Kristin. Enjoy life! Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Change your limits and your world changes 🦋
Such wise words.
Living beyond concepts is wonderful
Beautiful ...... brings us good thoughts ..... hope, courage, love, calm, strength to move forward ......
Beautiful‼️ My kinda guy…my kinda place! I wish there were more places like this on earth. It’s gotten way overcrowded and noisy 😢 I live for Peace/Quiet/Stillness…and just plain BEING❣️ It’s so cleansing and healing 💚
Once you found beauty in yourself, there is beauty everywhere, otherwise you will always search.
Betsy McCullen ~ how I fully agree.
Absolutely wonderful words of inspiration, make it happen, each of us! Never a better time than now, for sure!
Absolutely!!
