Aniwa

Aniwa is an international movement that builds community through a yearly gathering, ongoing retreats, and a digital platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of some of the world's most respected indigenous elders. Their mission is to promote healing and a deeper reciprocal relationship with the Earth, through sacred native teachings and original instructions to plant seeds for future generations.

We at Reforest Films fully immersed ourselves in Aniwa’s world—joining their ceremonial gatherings, sitting in conversation with indigenous elders, and attending their nature-based workshops. Through collaborative sessions, we captured the deliberate pacing of each teacher and their profound ecological wisdom. The content resonated far and wide, amassing millions of views.
