Description

What are ‘ancient technologies’ and could they save the West from its identity crisis? Dr Martin Shaw is the author of the new book Liturgies of the Wild and founder of the Oral Tradition and Mythic Life courses at Stanford University. He joins the UnHerd Club for an exclusive live event to excavate the myths that he says can save modern society from the perils of spiritual impoverishment. Copies of Liturgies of the Wild will be on sale at the event and available for signing.
