Living a Creative Life

Описание: I renovated a 100 year old singer sewing machine and this week, I used it to chainstitch embroider a skirt from scraps of old jeans. I learned that creativity is what brings happiness and purpose to our lives. Living with zero waste is more than just sustainability lifestyle — it is an artful way of life, filled with curiosity, freedom and personal growth.

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.
