WILD CHRIST

December 11th — December 13th, 2026

O​​​​​ver the course of this weekend, Martin Shaw and special guests (to be announced soon) will dive deep into Biblical and saint stories. Martin will be reading from his new, unpublished manuscript on that very area, asking the question: What if God is still talking to us? Could we even recognise an angel as a prompt from our conscience? Expect a thrilling safari into the mythopoetics of Christianity: vivid storytelling with profound spiritual dimensions.

This course is now FULLY BOOKED. If you would like to be added to a waiting list, please email tina@schoolofmyth.com
