Claymont Society for Continuous Education
Working with Movements and the Enneagram,
March 6-8, 2020
We are pleased to announce our first Work Weekend of the decade
The Enneagram symbol stands at the heart of the Gurdjieff Teaching and yet in his writings Gurdjieff said very little about it. Much of what others have written on the subject since his death, while often engaging, suffers from seeing this remarkable symbol as a way of knowing rather than an activation of typically disengaged aspects of our being. We have been left to ourselves to discover its potency and its application through contemplation of the symbol itself and the internalization of its intelligence through the other activities he left us, such as the Movements and the structure of various kinds of group work. From the classroom to the kitchen to the Movements Hall we will use study, inner exercises, and active participation to help us understand how we can engage this symbol to help us live intelligently in more than one world.
Activities for the weekend will include guided sittings and explorations, movements, practical work, and inner sharing. You are cordially invited to join us in our work and exploration.
The weekend will begin with dinner at 6:30 pm on Friday March 6 and end after lunch on Sunday March 8. All activities will be at the Mansion.
Suggested donation for the weekend is $120 if you are staying overnight at Claymont and $75 if you are not staying overnight. However, do not let the cost prevent you from coming, financial assistance is available.

Claymont Society for Continuous Education Presents
the Gurdjieff Movements Gathering June 11-18, 2021
“The purpose of Movements—the search to become conscious, to have a conscious relationship with one’s body and sensation of one’s body—gives to those who perform them sincerely and accurately a kind of ‘education’ and ‘enrichment’ of being, a food for all parts of themselves; the instinctive body, the emotional centre, conscious thought.” –Solange Claustres, Becoming Conscious
The Claymont Society is sponsoring a Movements Gathering. The event begins with dinner on Friday June 11 and ends with brunch on June 18 with six days of movements. Movements will be taught by Deborah Rose Longo and other guest teachers. Our wonderful pianist, Melanie Monsour, will be playing for the classes.
Part time participation is offered from June 11 to June 14.
Fees for attending are: $525 for 8 days of room and board $400 for tuition Total – $925 for the full event
