Fourth Way students and serious seekers come together for this three-day resident Immersion to explore
how to work to apply Mr. Gurdjieff's teaching in the midst of all the demands of modern life. This unique public event creates the conditions to go beyond theory and directly experience the methods and practices of this ancient teaching—opening to its transformative power.
In a beautiful setting located along the Central Coast of California, we explore a Fourth Way theme. Learning to apply conscious efforts, new qualities of self-knowledge and being unfold revealing higher degrees of that which is always available: Presence. As transmitted through the Gurdjieff lineage, the Immersion includes practice through Exercises, Haida Yoga, guided Sittings, exploration of The Movements, dialogues, and private interviews. The Immersion is open to all levels of simplicity.
