Group work
G. I. Gurdjieff’s legacy is four-fold. He left a blueprint for a new world in his magnum opus: All and Everything, Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson. The Sacred Dances or Gurdjieff Movements are a valuable and remarkable tool for self study and group consciousness, and the sacred music elicits a deep feeling of wish for the spiritual reality. Gurdjieff left a practical teaching, to be transmitted in a group or community medium, providing ideal opportunities to work towards building balanced relationships within ourselves, with others, and for the Work. Including spiritual exercises, practical physical work, psychology, cosmology, the enneagram, meditation, presence, relaxation, sensation, and service, the fourth way teaching evolves to fit time and place.
Weekly and Monthly meetings
Weekly group meetings on Sundays at Camp Caravan begin at 7:30 a.m. and generally continue through 12:30 p.m. ending before lunch. We start with a morning sitting, followed by breakfast, practical work, and weekly themes. Monthly meetings take place the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the Campaign Office at Camp Caravan.
Work days
On the second Saturday of each month, join us for Work Days, beginning at 7:30 a.m. and continuing through 5:30 p.m. Work with Gurdjieff Movements, practical work, morning exercise, and the thematic technique are usually included. Please RSVP before attending, as the schedule is subject to change.
