Who We Are
Who I am

Embark on transformative journeys through Scotland's mystical landscapes with Sacred Isles. Rooted in Celtic spirituality, Renatus Derbidge guides seekers to standing stones, stone circles, and sacred sites, fostering deep connections with the earth and self.

Renatus is a trained Gothean Scientist rooted in Anthroposophy, Earth- and Soul-Centric wisdom and the Western Mystery Tradition. He is a keen biodynamic gardener, beekeeper and father of 3 daughters. Though originaly from Germany, his love for Scotland and its spiritual aura lead him and his wife Charlot to move to Scotalnd in 2018. Sacred Isles, is his passion and calling.

Gemma P., Spain

To observe nature and the landscape, create and share in the group the way we did, has been eye opening for me. A renewal of the self through these practices.

Peter D., Switzerland

I experienced Renatus as the leader of the Iona Summer Schools 2017 and 2018 on Mull and was impressed by his personality. He is a scientist and sensible observer, poetic, yet with a hands on mentality. And his love for Scotland is inspiring!
