    I was speaking with a friend recently about the connection I feel to nature having done two long-distance backpacking trips, the last one 5 months long. I told him that I feel a connection to the forest now that I think will shape the rest of my life. It took me some courage to utter the words, "I can feel the trees now." I felt immediate embarrassment knowing how people with mainstream western American ideas about nature would dismiss me. But I said it because it's true. To hear so many others speak of the Kodama, that trees are connected through a vast network, of mother trees... well, this movie helped me give myself the final permission I needed to fully embrace what the trees are teaching me.

      Don't feel ashamed at all you're in tune with nature which by nature is very high vibration, it's main stream society that is behind, backwards and asleep. Trees in the spiritual world have the highest vibration. I recently learned all this going through a major spiritual awakening. Trees do communicate with other trees. Trees can do spell work for you but you must ask their permission. I now talk to the tree that's in my backyard all the time and greet it! I can't do it now due to the elements but if you walk clockwise barefoot around a tree it will raise your vibration. Anytime a tree is cut down, burned etc...it honestly hurts me a little, namaste.

      How can a tree teach you if it cannot communicate with you? Do you think perhaps you are finding things out for yourself and teaching yourself by allowing yourself time alone in nature to think through things you may not have concentrated on before? How do you know that whatever it is you are getting comes from the trees?

    When I was walking through the woods in Australia back in the 70's I felt one big lovely tree calling to me and I walked towards it feeling a deep connection. I put my arms around it and felt myself being invited inside and I let myself go and for brief moments I felt that I was the tree and could feel the sun on my leaves and a slight breeze and I could see for miles, the moment I hesitated with doubt I was gently let go. Trees have spirits and are kind and loving. Nature has always been the love of my life.

    Beautiful! I was born on the edge of the forest and trees were my first friends. Any culture pulling away too far from nature is doomed, soon or later. We should always treat nature with respect and kindness. And therefore learn and understand the enormous gift we are surrounded with and take for granted.

    Beautiful film about these wondrous trees and how they communicate - and about some of the people around the world who don't just ski through these special old growth forests - they feel real connection to them. To learn that bristlecone pines live for 5,000 years and have been on the earth for 70 million years as a species is extraordinary. Death is but a transfer of energy in a forest. Find your own tree. The soundtrack and cinematography here is fabulous, but the ideas are just as wonderful if not more so.

    Possibly the best, or perhaps most sublime, documentary I have seen. The cinematography is a real work of art; the way the stories of cultures that lived in the forests for millenia and their wisdom is conveyed delicately and with masterful nuance. I would say the cinematography is on par if not better than the BBC's Planet Earth series.

    thankfully many are slowly awakening to the nature around them. In 2019 i was taking my normal early spring walk through the mountain park not far from where i live, and i noticed something good. When i stopped by the trailside to remove the tiny weeds that were choking the small native flowering creepers, as i sometimes do - something was different this time. Just lately this trail is no longer a solitary walk, young people now come along it from time to time...and this day, as they passed me they stopped briefly to see what i was doing. They were taking an interest, and it was a joyful moment for me to finally share my lifetime knowledge of the local plants, and how to care for them so they are not choked by the overwhelming amount of tiny weeds that otherwise they would never notice as they walk by. They were so interested, so pleased to hear about these things...i felt it was all worth it to have lived to be sixty years old and finally see so many others take a happy interest in mother earth and her creatures. We shared a lot more than smiles and information that day two years ago....

      Right. Removed from our spiritual roots! It seems from what I understand, the Buddhist seeks to find G-d through connecting to nature, whereas Jewish thinking seeks a direct connection to G-d and from this perspective, observes nature. The latter approach I strongly believe, is a much more profound and meaningful perspective to access truth but more than that, it is in fact the only way!

      What good is an idealized value set, if you ignore the perceivable universe, accessible to your senses?
      If God is good, you're supposed to use your brain. If you use your brain, then you discover that some of the things people believed in the "long-long-ago" to come straight from the Mouth of God, couldn't possibly have come from the mouth of a good and omniscient God. You find that Bronze-Age wisdom includes Bronze-Age misconceptions. And that's OK. Learn from the wisdom and say "Ooops! Some imperfect human musta gotten God's words a little confused."
      don't square with your understanding of the reality that God put in front of you.

    BC my favourite mountains so far I discovered surfing in France and was inducted into what is more commonly known as free riding. My mentor Dominic only referred to Surfing. Japan I love after my visit 1993 studying Architecture and fell spellbound by their history but more their culture, leading to my respect for Shinto and its base theories, that we are at one with the earth and it talks to us. This also resonates amongst the nany native tribes of BC some of whom are my dearest friends. In Japan I visited a monastery rebuilt every 20 years using traditional dry joinery techniques. My final project encompassed All aspects also using current new green energies built on an island of recycled rubbish(existing) encompassing all philosophies I had encountered so far including hugging hugging the great trees at the monastery.

    Trees are our ancestors, the giants of our past, the cleansers and balancers, stabilisers and protectors for the earth; the fire of the sun in our hearts and hearths, cool shade, fruits, the cloth of green over the rocks, the jewels in the desert, even hidden resources under the ice. When the elder trees in a forest are cut down the whole forest loses its direction - the young trees have no ancestor trees to learn from, and when large areas are cut down the continuity and connection between them all - the family - is broken. This film is beautiful and full of wisdom from those who understand. Planting trees is the most important thing we can do but we cannot replant the divine life-source in a forest. It would be like expecting severed limbs, or false limbs grown in a test tube, to regrow into a living body with a soul; no, that is impossible. We are causing our own destruction on this planet. Thank you Patagonia for your vision.

    We are friends with a quite young, three branched oak tree in our nearby forest. I've watched it growing since it was just 30 cm high. Now it's like 2 meters tall beauty. :) It's growing from a crack in an open rock, and last summer was quite heavy for it because of immense heat wave and not a drop of rain. I carried water to it after the leaves went all brown, and I was already devastated that it wouldn't survive. After some weeks, it started making new green buds. I hope my buddy is doing well, I can't wait for spring to see if it's still alive.

    Patagonia - you are producing so many inspiring and beautiful films. Between my time spent outdoors, yours are the videos I watch and cannot tear myself away from; Artifishal, Treeline, Blue Heart, I just can't get enough. Thank you for raising awareness in such a beautiful manner! Always looking forward to the next film!

    That was unexpected. I love the flow, adrenaline, ephemerality and tricksiness of snowboarding, and mountain biking, but also the deep peace of trees and woodworking, and the connection to nature when observing birds and wildlife. This film hints to me at how we can seek to merge those disparate sensations into a convergent pursuit that is both fulfilling and sustainable.

      @@grom7826 "I lost my heart to the Ocean and with it a piece of my soul" - Mike Doyle Surf School, Cabo Surf Shop inside the Cabo Surf Hotel. Yes, Mike had a business relationship with Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard going way back. Don't forget Dan Malloy! I wrote for Powder Magazine when Whistler/Blackcomb was the new kid on the block and Alta/Snowbird in Utah had no "official" connecting trail, but we made one anyway! We hauled HEAVY VHS cameras and large format antique cameras & tripods with Polaroid filmbacks. I've owned (and lost) several Waterman pens over the years, sold to me by Odell Chapell the first woman to work at Fahrney's Pens in DC and the salesclerk who sold JKF his first ballpoint pen! I hope you still find time for a good wave and reminiscing about those times! *It's a small world, my friend!*

      Patagonia actively supports censorship and political ideology. They pull advertising from sites that do not go far enough in supporting their political agenda. That's certainly divisive. If at all possible, I avoid supporting corporations who delve into divisive political topics. It's not their place to tell me how to think or what to do. If you support what they are doing, then that's fine. You do you. But just be aware that Patagonia absolutely contributes to the problem.

Thank you for using your God- given talents to honor one of His most magnificent creations! Trees do not evolve and learn as they grow. Every marvelous ability you have so skillfully attributed to them was put into their DNA by God himself when he created the seed . The tree simply (and awesomely) lives out the blueprint it's creator provided for it's life.
