I think Wode Maya should wait for a long period of time, before featuring them. Their story would be more interesting and fresher by that time, as they would have expanded their project, among other things.

    When you've lived in a toxic city for so long, and you finally move to to the forest where everything is green, the freshness of the air , the peaceful and serene environment, chirping of the birds and etc . You'll be blown away by the healings you get unconsciously. Our body was made to adapt every everything and it was made to heal itself. Going back to nature means embracing life. Love this family, how I wish I live around, I would have paid them a visit more often.

      As he said it is Jamaica on a larger scale. When she talks about how healing it is, I feel the same way about coming home to this country. A few bad apples have spoiled some people's impression about living here. However, I can say for many of us who have lived abroad...there is no place like home. The lushness of mother nature, organic food, natural herbs, rivers, seas and I could go on. Yes we have our challenges to but it does make us stronger.
      I know what they are doing, having done it myself. There is certain peace when you leave the System and you can sleep and wake up according to your own rhythm. I am grateful everyday. Having said all this I wish my country men all the best for a wonderful future with their lovely children.

    This is beautiful man. I am religiously going through videos of African diaspora living a simple sustainable life. The original offgrid(ers). But the west is colonizing this "movement" too. As a South African I am so inspired. I am going back to this life, emakhaya/ezilalini (rural areas).

    The drone shots of the forest landscape around this family's dwelling are truly breathtaking. I currently maintain a residence in a part of Africa where rampant deforestation has decimated all the pristine rainforests that I once knew, while Chinese dredging crews have destroyed a creek whose sandy floor was once visible through crystal clear waters. Invasive armed cattle-herding nomads who plunder food crops are a growing problem that the government seems powerless to address, while bandits rule the highways at night here in this unnamed country not far from Ghana.
    Ghana stands as a beacon of good governance in West Africa. Ancient rainforests are preserved to a greater extent than is seen in other neighboring West African countries, those rapacious Chinese plunderers of nature are being shown the door back to where they originate, crime rates are very low, the people are laid back and welcoming, while predatory cattle herds that destroy crops are evicted by force of arms where necessary by the Ghanaian police, thereby reducing that menace to a bare minimum, in stark contrast to what is unfolding in other nearby countries.
    One day soon when my money is right, I too will seek out a remote forest enclave somewhere in Ghana where the natural resources are protected by law, and there construct an off-grid, solar-powered residence surrounded by orchards of food-producing trees like the highly proteinous South American Borojoa tree, the vitamin C packed Barbados cherry, papaya, pineapple, and citrus, among others. This relocated UK family is living my dream in precise detail.

    This is a most beautiful and moving returners video I've ever seen. I stopped this video at 27:25 The rites of passage at Lye description was so very moving and deeply meaningful. So true.
    My background awareness is there are no snake bites in the village my parents come from.
    Snakes and nature was revered by our ancestors and the ancestors themselves.
    Sadly Western imported evangelical Christian 'big business' is leading to a wholesale disconnection with spiritua ancestoral guardians and nature itself in a desire to ape Western consumerism and so-called belief/ faith systems.
