The Work
A practical approach to living.
The ideas brought by G. I. Gurdjieff are on every level a practical approach to living, and they prove themselves through study to be adaptable to contemporary conditions and concerns, whatever one's heritage or background.
Above all, they offer each individual who is interested a means of personal verification of what is proposed.
In this respect it is a truly educational process, and quite distinct from anything which might be seen as dogmatic.
By working on all sides of oneself a new awareness begins to emerge which gives a deeper understanding of the sense and purpose of one's life.
