Renatify
Native Again. Resting in Aliveness.
Renatify is a cultural and ecological movement devoted to restoring what is essential:
our connection to nature, to ancestral wisdom, and to one another.
In a world accelerating toward disconnection, we create spaces where people can breathe again
where the body softens, the mind quiets, and aliveness becomes safe enough to rest.
This work lives at the intersection of art, ritual, ecology, and Indigenous guardianship.
What We Do
We plant trees.
We hold ceremonies.
We tell the stories that are at risk of being forgotten.
Every Renatify gathering is both symbolic and practical:
Tree-planting rituals in Indigenous territories of Brazil
Music, movement, and shared silence as cultural bridges
Support for Indigenous leadership and knowledge transmission
This is not extraction.
It is reciprocity.

Our Philosophy
Renatify means to return to what is native
not as nostalgia, but as remembrance.
We believe:
The body holds ancestral intelligence
Culture is a living ecosystem
Protection begins with listening
Our work is slow by design, relational by nature, and guided by Indigenous leadership.
The Green Atlantic & Its Guardians
The Atlantic Forest is home to the Guarani people, its original guardians.
Among their teachings is the story of the Saracura bird
a forest messenger whose song determines whether land is safe for life to settle.
Only women wear the Saracura mark on their faces, symbolizing protection, discernment, and guardianship.
Their rites of passage teach responsibility toward land, tribe, and future generations.
Renatify exists to amplify (not reinterpret) this wisdom, ensuring it travels with dignity and consent.
How We Work
Indigenous-led partnerships
Transparent financial flows
Long-term relationship building
Art as a bridge, not a product
For every Renatify ticket or piece of merchandise, one tree is planted in Indigenous territory.
Big ideas, real impact.
A documentary, cultural exchange, and ecological commitment
The Green Atlantic Project is a long-form documentary and cultural initiative connecting:
Indigenous Guarani communities
Surfers and explorers from former colonising nations
Music, ritual, and ecological education
The journey follows the Atlantic coast of Brazil, Portugal, and the Netherlands, not to revisit history, but to re-write our relationship with it.
-
During a visit to Sintra, Portugal, I felt a physical response—
an embodied awareness of beauty intertwined with historical extraction.Traveling with my daughter, I asked a simple question:
What if reconciliation began with listening?
This project invites surfers, artists, and explorers to learn directly from Indigenous communities how to protect silent life—while engaging consciously with the ocean, land, and their own lineage.

Sitting with Kerexu
When asked to share the essence of her people, Kerexu honors us with a story traditionally told by women to their children.
Through Renatify, this story now travels further.
For every ticket and every piece of merchandise,
we plant a tree in Indigenous territory in Brazil,
a simple, tangible act of reciprocity.
Renatify is not charity.
It is relationship.

Protecting Silent Life
“I was asked to speak of the needs of the Amazon while being from the Atlantic Forest.
Will you help us let the world know that our people exist?”
— Kerexu, United Nations—
Why the Atlantic Forest Matters
HOME of indigenous peoples (Guarani and Kaigangs) and other traditional communities (caiçara and quilombo), the Mata Atlântica is the second largest plant formation in all of South America following the Amazon Forest.
It mitigates climate change
Produces oxygen and rainfall
Prevents natural disasters
Provides water for the majority of Brazil’s population
More than 70% of Brazilians live within the Atlantic Forest domain,
including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and Curitiba.
Since colonisation, 93% of the original forest has been destroyed or heavily altered.
This is not history.
It is a living emergency.
