The Gurdjieff Movements were inspired by the temple dances and rituals that Mr. Gurdjieff witnessed and studied during his travels in the search for truth. In one way, they are sacred exercises that can open us to a finer perceptivity when approached with our three centers working together. In another way, they lead us to the edge of what we are capable of holding in awareness — allowing us the opportunity to see ourselves and our habitual ways of thinking, feeling, and moving in action.
Working with the movements is not primarily about learning the form of the movements. Rather, they function like a mirror, helping us to see the work that is ours to take up — work with ourselves, work with each other in a group, and work that is at service of the whole.
In every conceivable way, working with the movements in an online format pale in comparison to working with them live in a group. Nevertheless, working with the movements online does allow a level of accessibility that would not otherwise be possible.
In this way, the movements are a powerful practice to help us find Presence — help us to be aware of when we lose Presence, and help us to return — over and over and over again.
This online class will meet from 12:30-1:45 PM Eastern Time for a total of six times on the following Mondays: June 8, 15, 22; July 6, 13, 20. All classes will be recorded with the recordings made available to participants for your use only.
Work on the form alone outside of class is not required or even suggested. The class itself is a laboratory — a living encounter with all of our parts, and with all of one another’s parts, as together we strive for something higher.
