Come With Us to the Forest Savage…
The young fool raised in the forest.
The Grail Castle glimpsed and lost.
The wounded king and the question that was never asked.
The long wandering in the wasteland, and the return.

Live classes will be over 5 consecutive days, January 12th-16th at 12pm-2pm EST, except for Jan 14th at 4pm-6pm EST

In the dark heart of January, when the nights are long and the world draws close, Dr. Martin Shaw returns to Symbolic World to tell one of the greatest stories of the Medieval imagination: Parzival and the Holy Grail.

This is not a lecture series. It is a quest. It is a telling, spread across five consecutive evenings, two hours each night, the way such stories were meant to be heard: slowly, with the crackle of the fire on the hearth and time for the story to hang in the air and “settle in your jaw” as Martin says.

From Monday through Friday, January 12–16, 2026, one of the world's great living storytellers will unspool the medieval epic that Joseph Campbell called the epicenter of Western myth. He’ll be lighting his fire, puffing a cigar, sipping on a whisky, and letting one of the greatest stories of all time lead us where it must.

Clear your evenings. Put another log on the fire. This is the storytelling event of the year.
