                      LOVE, COMPASSION, SERVICE
          “The work of Gurdjieff is a bridge between a man’s present state
                    and a state in which he can remember and love.”      
                                                                                         (Louise March)

Many of us have come to question the meaning of life, especially in the face of sufferings, stress and uncertainties in today’s world. Searchers may be looking for a practice that will lead to happiness & health...to a sincere expression of compassion towards others...to a clarity as to how one might meaningfully serve...

The teaching of Georges Ivanovich Gurdjieff, drawing on a body of knowledge that can be found in varied expression in all the great religious traditions, introduces an all-encompassing cosmology and psychology that may very well offer hope to those trying to understand their place, their possibilities. Underlying Gurdjieff's writings, music and sacred dances (aka the Movements) is a practical approach through which we may discover the means to playing an active role in our own lives as well as in service to the lives of those around us
