Routines of Spring: Life Lessons and Slow Living
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Springtime in the mountains feels like change and we're learning so much from these simple routines. This slow life has taught us to redefine our ideas of success and what a happy life is, to learn from the simplicity of caring for the animals, sewing our own clothes, and facing problems. / motherthemountain

We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land.
In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined.
Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country.
We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.

If only we could all live as joyfully as the goats, jumping on the meadow. Paradise must be something like this...
These young women appreciate their world.That oasis comes with hard work & challenges & I sit here in NY in awe.

Can i come stay with u. Lol. Seems so peaceful. You gals are so lucky. I make good money in the states, but would trade it all for this. Just know how fortunate you are.
Your videos bring such deep soothing sensations I can't explain. The magnificent beauty and deep forest peaceful sounds are so relaxing. I wake up every Saturday looking forward to this.... Thank You! "If you are Happy, you've succeeded" I needed that today!
I adore and appreciate your poetic descriptions of the seasonal spectrums and hues. Thank you Anastasia and Julia for so much wonder, joy and experiences❤️
"DON'T PANIC" Douglas Adams. Everything starts from there. Thanks for sharing.
I don't know how old these 2 young ladies are but their maturity is surely way beyond their years.
I've worked so hard and tried for so long to be a rockstar and studied music and studied and lived and respired my winded lofty desires every moment of the day until I left America to sign a record deal in Romania where I continued to study music and dance and Art ( animation ) until I had 2 records cut on Electrecord records/ and auditioned and signed a contract with the Romanian National Opera as an Artist in the chorus. I was driven by these desires until my last tour on a handmade Venetian Gondola in Venice California , and took all of my savings and bought land on Cedar Mountain for cheap, due to the fact it had been in a 64,000 acre fire caused by a camp fire in the high winds. I am happy and blessed, even wiser than I had ever been. My nights are peaceful and quiet and the views are emasculate.Be loved, for what you give and fame can be easy when its made from dreams come true. I loved singing in the Opera , but I'm even happier now with those memories and bliss to sip from in my everyday morning coffee.

Oh that's so special, I love to think of all of the animals bringing you calm before sleeping ❤ sending you love
What beautiful views you have of the rain forest, I don't think there are any better view. Anastasia when you were cutting out the dress, you said “I think I can do it” I knew you could do it. That one sewing machine does look complicated. Julia enjoy your cuddles with the babies, before you know it they will be too big for both of you to do it. Stay safe, mum behind the camera, and you two lovely girls. Love from Mike. ❤
Thank you for this peaceful minutes ♥️
gorgeous film as always!
How beautiful it is to know that there are people like you who love and care for the nature that God created. They are two geniuses!!!
In this materialistic world, your lifestyle is pure gold❤️ Living with nature, without standing in her way, rather being a part of her...you girls really are children of nature. Thank you from a child of mother nature ☺️
Being in nature creates so much happiness because of the negative ion's that soaks in your body and heals you emotionally, spiritually. Peace and love to you and your family.
I am a Canadian citizen now living back home in Dhaka Bangladesh, I think your wisdom defies gravity. Wonderfully incredible I guess. Lord bless you.
The good thing with the goat and the animal is that it helps environment to be sustainable and balance. You guys are really such an inspirational to all city dwellers like me.
This is the paradise I'm looking for

Happy belated Birthday to Mom of course ! Good job on baby goat,machine,snake willies,joy etc...Mulberries !!!!
Happy birthday to Mom - I hope Anastasia's mulberry tart turns out good even though she ate most of the berries. Raspberries on top would also have been good, but she probably ate most of those too. hah! Julia's "C'mon, c'mon" almost sounds like Anastasia's and I love how you tempt the sheep to follow her with the mulberry leaves. And Anastasia, your outlook on life and solving problems is so inspirational it makes me feel that there is hope for this world after all. Thanks for sharing. All my love ❤❤.
