Work Weekend
Making Room Inside Oneself
Working with the Gurdjieff Movements
“There are vibrations in the atmosphere of higher and lower sources. Can I begin to be aware of these various sourced substances in the air I breathe? They are free flowing, but can I come to a place where I choose or refuse to take them in. It may help to think of this in terms of food. If I am full of one kind of food, there will be no room in me for another kind.”
– A.L. Staveley
This is not easy especially if we allow influences of a lower nature to dominate our inner space. Our reactions and identifications feed the lower influences, while our efforts to relax and let go can create space inside where the higher influences can enter.
Work with Movements can be a sacred experience, which is one of the reasons we return again and again to the Sacred Dances of Gurdjieff even though we know the way may be difficult.
The Gurdjieff Movements provide endless opportunities to experience three-centered awareness, while also providing opportunities to strengthen one’s connection to the Three Lines of Work – Work on oneself, Work with the group and Work with our connection to the Greater Good.
As part of the weekend, there will be several opportunities to practice and experience the Gurdjieff Movements. Other activities will include guided sittings and meditations, 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 1 and end after lunch on Sunday March 3. All activities will be at the Barn.
Suggested donation for the weekend is $100 if you are staying overnight at Claymont and $60 if you are not staying overnight. However, do not let the cost prevent you from coming, financial assistance is available.
