Derek is a seasoned filmmaker, spiritual guide, and men’s work facilitator with a lifelong devotion to personal transformation. Raised across multiple countries and fluent in three languages, he brings a rich global perspective to everything he does. His journey into spirituality began at age 10 through Buddhist meditation and deepened through early plant medicine experiences that profoundly shaped his worldview. With decades of experience in videography, Derek weaves storytelling with soul work, guiding others through the path of divine masculinity, emotional healing, and conscious love. Having walked through his own dark night of the soul and emerged in purpose, he now supports others in navigating transformation with wisdom, presence, and heart.
