Since 2016, he has been accompanying conferences and study trips in Scotland; he is now bringing this work together under the umbrella of Sacred Isles \u2013 Exploring the Mysteries in Stones, Wind and Sky. In terms of content, Sacred Isles combines three focal points: questions of self-knowledge and personal transformation, training perception in nature with a Goethean approach to sacred places and power landscapes, and the experience of small groups that create a protected space for development and community building. Destinations include the islands of Iona, Mull, and Orkney. At their core, the offerings are travel formats in Scotland; However, the work on the Western mysteries there has also given rise to lectures and courses in other locations\u2014for example, 2026 smaller events in Germany on the Irish-Scottish in Hesse, the megaliths in the Osnabr\u00fcck region, southern Germany, and the Lake Constance area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/knowyourself.land\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sacred Isles<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photo<\/strong>\u00a0Renatus Derbidge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dunbar, Scotland.
