About the Class
The Gurdjieff Exercises are seated attention practices that work to relax our three-centers from their automaticity and bring them into coherence. The exercises are intended to stabilize within us the selfhood that can operate in the imaginal realm; open us to more subtle substances of love, mercy, hope, compassion, gentleness, and strength to name a few; and to transform our being that we might show up in our lives more aligned with these higher influences, offering ourselves in cosmic servanthood. When done in a group, this is amplified and there is great potential to effect change in life. Meeting Dates & Time: Thursdays from 2:00pm-3:00pm Pacific Time on February 22nd & 29th, March 7th & 21st, and April 4th, 11th, and 18th. A total of 7 times. Flow of the Circle: This is a great circle if you want a foundation for working with the exercises. The circle will be focusing on the book Mystical Courage by Cynthia Bourgeault. Our circle will begin by spending a few minutes gathering our hearts together quietly in some Gurdjieff & DeHartmann music. There will be time to work with a Gurdjieff Exercise from the book and a brief time of sharing our observations from our work with them. Cost: The total suggested cost for all 7 times is $35-140, pick what works for you in that range. Preferred methods of payment would be through Venmo (@HeatherRuce), Zelle (619-252-9452), or check (address: 6791 Alamo Way, La Mesa, CA 91942). If none of those work for you then PayPal is also an option.
