Topic for Wednesday May 29:
How Working Together Conveys the Teaching
There was dialogue and work with music; there were readings, dance lessons, and all kinds of practical work. This was work in a school.
At the same time, students had their own lives, careers, and families. Gurdjieff encouraged, even demanded, individuality.
A panel of four will speak about how working together in a school is still the primary means by which the teaching is conveyed.
We welcome your attendance and your questions.

The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness. And 'consciousness' cannot evolve unconsciously. The evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and 'will' cannot evolve involuntarily. The evolution of man is the evolution of his power of doing, and 'doing' cannot be the result of things which 'happen'.
G. I. Gurdjieff
