In Search of the Grail: A Fourfold Quest
A gathering with Pir Zia and Friends
Glastonbury, April 9th – 12th, 2026
The Grail is the centrepiece of a series of legends spanning various lands and ages. Seen in its essence, the Grail reveals itself as the fulcrum of human existence, where inner and outer worlds converge, and life is perpetually renewed. Four numinous objects, or “Hallows,” function as fundamental aspects of its power to heal and transform: the Sword, the Spear, the Cup, and the Stone. By approaching these Hallows each in turn, the questing seeker is drawn ever closer to the mystery at the core of life.
We will gather for a short pilgrimage over four days in the heart of Glastonbury to peel back the layers of myth. Through storytelling, music, mediation and ritual, we will explore the mystery and wisdom of the Grail.
