William Patrick Patterson, Gurdjieff, Fourth Way seminars

Firmly grounded in the Gurdjieff lineage, The Gurdjieff Legacy Foundation sponsors talks, workshops and seminars in the direction set by its founder William Patrick Patterson, who actively studied and practiced the teaching of The Fourth Way for fifty-three years. He was a direct student of Lord John Pentland, the man Mr. Gurdjieff appointed to lead the Work in America.

His rich Fourth Way legacy includes authoring ten books, and seven films, including the first documentary trilogy, The Life & Significance of G. I. Gurdjieff, as well as Introduction to Gurdjieff's Fourth Way Parts 1, 2, 3 and Spiritual Pilgrimage: Mr. Gurdjieff's Father's Grave.

Mr. Patterson gave his first talk at Open Secret Bookstore, San Rafael, California, February 1993, on Eating The "I". The first seminar was at Marconi Center, Marshall, California, December 1993. After the passing of Mr. Patterson on July 7, 2023, Teresa Adams, a direct student of Mr. Patterson for over 30 years, continues The Work through his lineage. The following represents a listing of the many events Mr. Patterson offered through his conscious and intentional efforts to ensure that Mr. Gurdjieff's last wish—to spread the Teaching as fully as possible—be fulfilled. And now Ms. Adams continues these efforts in transmitting the Teaching.
