I'm not exaggerating when thinking that your films are transforming my perspective on "what is to live". Society has made simplicity such an effort, and and a simple life is such a thought-provoking one. The amazing people featured in your films and the thoughts they share, the breathtaking shots of nature, all of them are helping me to stop and contemplate each piece of art living in each moment. Thanks for the great work :)

KZfaq is the only social media I indulge in, because it gives me access to beautiful videos like these 💚

Your channel is a wonderful way to help people prioritize and RESET their intentions....RESET their lives.

There are still people who value real connection and are searching for deep conversations.. Don't stop looking, humans. Thank you for another great video :)

"It takes me away from living..From reality".

I was once an addict until I quit a few months ago. Now, I'm happier. This channel is one of the best on KZfaq. I hope the KZfaq algorithm recommends your videos to more people. Like seriously, people need to learn from these unique perceptions of life.

Hi! I cannot financially support your work at this moment, but I want to tell you that you are doing something important, especially now, in these strange difficult times for people. Really big thanks to you. Your films give you hope, strength and a better feeling.❤

We tend to think that we can't live without things like social media and smart phones that we forget how recent these inventions really are. It wasn't that long ago that social media wasn't a thing and we lived perfectly fine without it then and can live without them again. Instead of allowing the world tell us who we should be via likes and subscriptions and so on, we need to tell the world who we are and the only way to do that is to live authentically and find our truth. Thank you for this reminder that life cannot be lived through digital means.

This is the most therapeutic and the most underrated channel everrr!!!

I think so much of the World is waking up and realizing how we have been living is such a lie. I’m getting off this hamster wheel and actually live and savor the simplicity of a moment. Thank you for your beautiful channel. Now I’m going to hop over to Patreon to join. 🌼🐝

SOOOO much wisdom here. Life is passing us by as we PLAY on a computer and not outside.

This reminds me of simpler times of years ago when things were more with nature.

I wish that everyone could know the dangers of social media and yes here we are on youtube watching your beautiful videos. There is a new movie called "The Social Dilemma" and if it does not scare you off of social media, nothing will! I unplugged a year ago from FB etc and then ditched the cell phone a few months ago, it is the best thing I have ever done. Ones awareness of everything elevates, falling leaves, spider webs with dew, crows fussing with squirrels, raindrops, it is remarkable and I have a heightened sense of joy. Those feeling of bliss that you can not describe. Time on this machine is limited also......sigh....I want to let it go also, but would miss the few lovely things a few lovely people do. Reconnecting face to face, or by letter writing is crazy hard and should be a natural thing, but I am finding it is not. Living in an instant world is not healthy. Slow down....unplug.....someone write me a letter....(smile)

Nature returns me to mindfulness, to the wonder of the present moment. It recenters me. Deep, meaningful conversations draw me into the realization that the light of the sacred dwells within each of us. I was born in 1951 in a very small place where neighbors had to lean on each other when a blizzard or severe thunderstorm swirled around us. Thank you for reminding us that social media will never replace authentic encounters or connection with the oceanic consciousness we find in nature and the universe.

I've watched countless videos about unplugging, and this one's my favorite.

I relate so deeply. When I first realised that I was using Instagram to validate me, it was extremely saddening and disappointing. I would do things, dress a certain way and interact with people just for a photo or a new post. I havent had instagram for 3 years, and haven't had facebook for 10. Once I got rid of instagram I started only doing things that I wanted to do, I saved so much scrolling time and stress and had to come to terms with being with myself and not trying to prove who I am to anyone else. It takes away your identity and makes you turn into something people want you to be or what you think is 'cool' or 'trendy'. Its so insane. After deleting instagram I had a lot of mental struggles about coming to terms with not having my life validated by likes or the tribe of followers, but it is the best thing I ever did.

Unplug you're self get out in nature grab your self some paint brushes even you can not paint look around where you are you will find some treasure of interesting too you & listen to the sound of nature & it will be bliss . I am sure wee have all been there. It's time now in this crazy world . Well done to your video another good one. Bless you all Peter Scotland xxx

Great video. I cut my TV service off 8 years ago. Shortly after I deleted all of my social media accounts, except KZfaq. It’s my only portal as to what’s going on in the world. So much less stress and so much more living life. Peace.

I have to say that this is the best channel on you tube. It gives one faith in humanity, not every one functions on greed, violence and selfishness. I can't praise these films enough, they make one think about their position on this planet and I'm 66. Love and peace from the UK Keith

Thank you for this amazing short film! Youre changing the world, you spark the brain that eventually will change the world. Keep inspiring us! Ure done a great job ✌

Gone back to using a 'dumb' phone. Check my emails morning and evening for maybe 15 mins each. and watch maybe half an hour of You Tube each night max!, so short vids like yours are great! Slowly unplugging.

YOU Changed my life. you grounded me. what life is all about... there's MEANING in what you do. be blessed.

If anybody feels like they don't want to be on social media but still keep in touch with/meet new people, letters are always there! We should make them popular again :D but seriously!

So lovely to see my beautiful friend Marie-Jo in this film, sharing her very authentic wisdom. Loved this little film !! Thank you !

I feel this the reason I don't have social media just youtube. Great video 👍

Another beautiful reminder to look for happiness outside of our screens. 😍🌱

Gracias, gracias, gracias!!!🌹✨✨✨🦋🌴

Wonderful as always.

this channel empowers my need to make a change, and makes me realise how much we lose ourselfs in the "modern" life and society ....

Whoa did you guys just blow up this week? I swear last week I was just saying that I wondered why you didn't have millions of views! Amazing work!

'Social media' - the name in itself is a misnomer as it is anything but social. In the same way big corporations use the name 'green energy' when they are destroying beautiful natural habitats to put up ugly so-called 'natural' energy generators. I understand the need to move away from dirty fuel but don't destroy what we have left in pursuit of an alternative that makes rich people richer and the earth poorer. Another wonderful and thoughtful fil. Thank you. X

Thanks for this powerful message.

Thanks for this beautiful film and truthful words to the life we lead today. Didn’t want it to end.

So very true. I closed my facebook account a few months back due to feeling this, how disconnected I had become to life around me, how I was doing far less than I could be. I am still dealing with my phone addiction - KZfaq, Bitchute.. but facebook and Instagram I avoid. This video has reminded me about why I closed those, and why I need to put my phone away.

Thank you 💐🙏♥️

Inspiring message, as usual. I'm so glad you covered this issue of focusing on the simple to detox sometimes. The paradox between the ease with which we are connected and the superficiality of the connections they bring is no easy issue to solve, (perhaps inevitable as society progresses and advances) (?) We think so much about what others think in this world we live in, taking less time to appreciate what we think independent of others. Now in the COVID-era, I hope everyone realizes the importance of face-to-face, human interactions. Without it there really is no life... I don't think this is an overstatement :) And, of course, every one of your films really make me want to visit South Africa one day to take in all the natural beauty it offers. I can tell your team makes these with so much heart. One of the best discoveries I've made recently is finding your channel, it is such a respite~

Have been following your channel for almost 2 years such beautiful people's life been covered. Thanks for showing different perspectives on life.

Excellent!

your channel started a shift within me,something real and beautiful..

Being an indian, I am excited to see his play on tabla( music instrument). Even, we don't know how to play, or exact name itself. We are just trying to forget our own culture .

thank you for another beautiful video x

In fact your art deserves more attention but it seems there are a few people who can understand and use their brain these days,I'm sorry that people only wanna follow the entertaining and meaningless things most of the time,but please dont lose your motivation your art is meaningful and marvelous even no one see it. I hope you will get the attention that you deserve in this weak societies and mentalities. Love.

Wonderful and beautiful,I saw the musician play Tabla and it was quite nice to see it there 😇 How I can relate to your movies is because I left my job as an economist working as a top consultant to be a musician and I had an accident last year and then the covid 19 virus which put me out of my music work for over an year and made me question my decision to follow my heart and live a simple life but your movies give me strength that there are many more people like me out there and I am on the right path,maybe a little bumpy at the moment,but I shall get used to it,thanks for making such movies ☺️🙏🏼

Digital technology has enabled me access great work such as that made by Green renaissance. For this, I am grateful. Like a double edged sword, it is about how you use it and not allowing it to control you. Thank you Green renaissance, for another great video.

The beauty of life is amazing especially if we we see the beauty of nature and discover how helpful to us to become happy.

Seriously.... this is great work team!

Knowledge of your most beautiful channel came to me as an Algorithm this morning. I subscribed and shared with another 44 people and some have already shared again. I can't describe just how much your offerings move me. Thank you. 💖 RjB

The breath taking shots of nature, the calmness, particularly the feeling to be lived like this always bring so much joy to my heart.. from childhood i am always very much close to nature.. the videos of your channel always bring back those spectacular memories back. thank you..for making such magnificent videos..

The paradox for me is that I watch all your videos (and others) on my phone, on KZfaq, and I find great value in them, but the more I watch them, the more I realize I need to disconnect, and yet I keep looking for videos that inspire me, like yours, because they are what makes me see things a different way and understand what should be important in my life... But to get inspired and motivated to change I spend time on KZfaq...

Thank you.

Watching such videos is the best form of meditation.

Brilliant as always. xx

I quit Facebook in June 2020 and I am SO MUCH happier and have more time. I don’t want to waste this one precious life life I’ve been given. Love and strength to all who read this.

Discovered this channel 6days ago; now I am glued to it and slowly changing my perspective towards life. Thank you GR!

This wonderful video is a reminder to me to unplug, and to get back to the things that truly matter. I am a recent subscriber and this is already one of my favourite channels. Thank You! ❤️🙏

Thank you, thank you all, for these wonderful videos, don’t feel like watching anything else. I am a nature loving person but at present stuck in busy city life, so these beautiful nature videos gives me peace and happiness. God bless you all

I closed my last social media account about a year ago. Being an amateur landscape photographer this step towards creative freedom has been crucial to my recent development as an artist. My connection to nature has grown from strong to rock solid and the phrase "Keep it real" has become way more than just a cool phrase. This video helped me a great deal in putting my experience into words, thank you for that!

So very true ! Thank you ❤️

I lived on board a Naval vessel for 11 years. Sharing every space that was available. I always had to share my sleeping quarters and never had my own bathroom. I learned to sleep on a thin mattress and on a twin size rack with a rack above me. No social media, phones, or internet. I didn’t choose that life style, that was chosen for me. I’m home now and still live with that minimalist perspective. I could and would like to live in a one room log cabin/house, where everything is pretty much in one room. I cook and bake as a career so a practical kitchen is my only desire. But I can see how choosing this type of lifestyle and life could be something most won’t consider. Also, it’s after you hv proven certain things to yourself, that you begin to seek solace , nature, crafts, music, animals, and God bc you’re inner struggles are fulfilled and so you turn to the spiritual. The infinite God. I like to see the lives of folks that hv carved out a life of their choosing. Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely agree with these comments and yet without my phone I would not have discovered or be able to access these beautiful documentaries. They have given me great hope, comfort and reassurance that there are like minded people and that there is hope for this world. Thank you to all who share and contribute.

I'm glad I wasn't alone realizing that the digital world does not really makes us connected but instead more isolated and lonely. To Green Renaissance, I'm so happy that I found your channel and I hope to become one of your patron to show my support to you once I get a job. Salute to both of you for making this kind of content that shows what life really means.

I appreciate what you put out to the world

Thank you so much for this amazing perspective and awakening!

A beautiful real video. Started this journey. Thank you everyone of making it real and possible. God Bless everyone connected to making this possible to see and feel. ❤

We’ve many devices to get connected, but the real connection happens very unlikely

“Probably one of the saddest things that have happened to humanity is this disconnect from nature.. this view that we are separate to it..” 💔🙏

Another MasterPiece from Green Renaissance Thank you so much for this awesome film.Thank you so much for helping me live a better life. Your films changed my entire perspective of living a beautiful life. I somehow got stuck in the materialistic world for a while. For me, the definition of a beautiful life was b, a big car, a big house, buying some Gucci and shit. But now I have a whole new perspective of life. Now the only thing which makes me happy is, The People around me, Being in touch with nature, Be kind to other people, treat others the way I want to be treated. that's what I learn from your films ''STAY HUMAN & BE KIND'' and that can make a big difference to live a beautiful life. I wish your work reaches millions of people. Whenever you upload a video I share it with all my friends and tell them to watch it right now haha. I have been doing this for almost one and a half years and I don't think I will ever get tired of it.. :). Thank you Dev

since childhood, nature has been my true home. people look at me askance that i refuse to be on any social media, that i don't walk around with digital junk stuck in my ear to be able to listen to birds, the breeze, a coyote, what will you. beautiful...thank you.

TRUTH ....Simply stunning the experience of what is real .....This is the only channel that needs to be seen , felt and appreciated , with much love from Kat .

I am at a loss for words. Maybe I can comment more later. Right now I am just filled with so many emotions. Thank you and thank you again so much.

Hello friends I recently found your channel( a couple of hours ago). One of your video popped in my youtube recommendations and I clicked on it to know what is it and now am feeling blessed due to that!!!!! You guys are letting people know others life and experiences. You guys are spreading humanity. I feel so blessed to know about these stories at a young age (just a teen). I think mostly these stories reach out people so lately. I search for these types of videos a lot. I like to see life from others perspectives. I like to hear stories. And these videos presents the real storytellers. My friends call me an old soul because I don't use any social medias. I'm not into the new songs. It's just me and my books and loads and loads of stories and love for travel and experiences and mountains and forests and all the nature. I love to learn about plants and animals and human nature and all the mysterious things from space to people. I love the smell of books and soil. I love rain. I don't like buying new gadgets and dresses and cramming it all in your home. I like to talk a lot. I like to tell stories. But nowadays people don't have time to talk or listen because they're so busy in their phones. When we are gonna eat something, they start to click pictures of the food and posts it on the social media. I always do think that these people don't even know what the real world is!!!!!! They don't know what beauty it has!!!!!! All these people want is lots of stuffs to fill their homes and make them look pretty. I'm so sick 🤢 of all these people living in an unreal world. But out here, in your channel I found real people. They are in these videos sharing their stories. They are in the comments section. You guys are doing a great work. You guys are helping people find themselves. Thanks for helping me. Thanks for helping all these people out here. I don't even know why I've written such a long comment. But thanks for all these efforts you've made to help others. You guys are doing something really great!!!!!

Brilliant concepts and excellent editing thanku!

Such a lovely film and a key reminder, like all of your films! I cannot express in words how grateful I am, The Green Renaissance team, to watch your deeply beautiful and thoughtfully created films! They always make me reflect deeply upon various aspects of life. We are blessed to have you among us, you are a gift to the human family! Thank you for your outstanding efforts in bringing these films to us! Much love and metta!

My job in 1995 was implementing windows 95. It was exciting but yet i could feel the future and told my husband the internet was going to ruin the world. Our lives are run by the internet now and its advancing everyday. Kids adults missing out on real life. Sad thing as im using it now. But i will never let it run my life and take away nature, love, living. The best things in life im so thankful for. Thank you for your wonderful blessed channel❤️ im so grateful for it!

This is just beautiful! Thank you for making these wonderful videos🙌🤎

....just a simple THANK YOU!!

‘The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.’ - Joseph Priestly.

"Being Clever"...love what he said!

The sheer joy in this ladys face when she plucked the fruit from the tree was priceless. I wish to go through life with such joy. Also a swing....I really must get myself a swing! They feature a lot in your amazing videos, and I remember how much fun it was as a child. Ok, so maybe a hammock too, oh and a kite - gosh I would love a kite. Symbols of joy these things are! :) Thanks for your videos, such a pleasure to watch.

So beautiful. Your films are a definite "reset" for me! I especially love the point about the lack of authenticity we are cultivating in our relationships through social media. SM is not merely a time-sucker, but a diversion from the real connection we long for. Such a needed film right now! And I know you think it is "ironic", this digital offering, but unlike the "flatness" of our screen relationship and zoom meetings right now, somehow you have achieved otherwise. Like an impactful piece of art or music which draws us in, your films do that. How I can engage with the screen and feel myself "reset" to calm is no small accomplishment. Thank you!

Thank You cannot describe my grattitude ! This is what could be pur greatest mistake in human history, because the superficiality goes for both ourselves and the way we treat Nature. Everything is connected We are more destructive than ever. We can stop this by being conscious. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Gracias por dejar subtítulos en español. Un mensaje fundamental y profundo en este tiempo. Además da mucho gusto ver la buena calidad de video. Se nota el cariño que hay detrás. Saludos!!

Amazing,just incredible food for thought

I'm working on hiking without headphones.

Awesome video, every human being on the planet should see this. I have been doing Wim Hof breathing for about a year, so much more aware and present than any other time of my life. I love the idea of your channel and the positive changes you are trying to make.

beautiful as always. 😂

The scary thing is that I‘m aware of it almost every day….and I can’t get out.But it will come to an end,because my feelings getting stronger the more I think about it.

Green Renaissance ♡♡love all your films. You add color to things which are unnoticed by many and helps appreciate life..so inspiring ♡

Again, another great message and beautiful filming. Thank you.

I am so glad I have found this channel 💚 What a breath of fresh air

I've been watching all your videos since march and it really helped me alot to understand and appreciate life. I'm really happy that more people are seeing your videos😊 and there's alot of positive comments comming in😊 thank you so much💛😊

Than you for bringing this channel to us all...we all as a people need to start connecting again with our voices not with our devices...God gave us a voice...we need to use it for good...peace and joy to all who reads this

Truly an eye opener from a fantastic channel

Your video visuals and your content is so beautiful...it almost makes me cry in joy...never stop doing what youre so good at...it feeds and nourishes our souls.Thank you for that

Such an amazing video. Its so true in such a sad way 😕

Perfect message!!!❤️ Thank you!

I was drawn to your videos as they are so cinematic and wonderfully produced. So I keep watching them and wonder how it was filmed and edited as all of them are masterpieces. Sometimes I get so fascinated by the creativity in presentation I have to watch it again to understand the story. 🙂 Keep up the good work and wish you and your team all the best.

I think this is maybe the best film I have watched by you! I resonate with all the people in this. I too am monitoring my phone usage; and feel better with less. Thank you for making these wonderful life affirming films!

There is so much beauty and truth to this video.
