All Weekends £170 (limited concessions available).
All weekends involve the telling and study of two major myths, and focused time alone in the natural world. For those interested in storytelling itself, there will be performative opportunities as well as several sessions on the art of telling itself.
The aim is to study the role of the mythic imagination and its specific relationship to the land and our psyche. Culturally rich, it makes associative leaps between Spanish Poetry, Gaelic folktale and the incantations of Inuit Shamanism to name but three. It is an eclectic programme and deeply soulful. It follows the word ‘wild’ through story, poetry, ceremony and landscape
