OXFORD ADVANCE
Join us for this life-changing journey to the City of Dreaming Spires, Oxford, UK. For one week, you will be immersed in the magical land that birthed such giants as C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien, among many others. We will walk the same cobblestone streets they did, visit the same local spots they frequented, and walk the famous ‘Addison’s Walk’ where CS Lewis encountered the Holy Spirit. We will visit the homes and graves of each literary hero. There will be customized tours for our group, which include The Kilns (C.S. Lewis home), The Holy Trinity Church (C.S. Lewis church), Oxford University (Magdalen College), Blackwell Bookshop, and much more. Mark Stibbe, an award-winning author and dear friend of KWA whose father was mentored directly by CS Lewis, will be joining us. We will have some teaching and training, but the deepest impact will come from experiencing all that Oxford has to offer. This thin place for creativity will inspire you to your next level. Register early, as space is limited to 12 people.
