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!

Ruth S., Scotland

From the very first moment everything we did confirmed that I was in the right place, at the right time!
