with some particular inner work.
*
Study of Gurdjieff movements as fragments of a larger context: the Teachings of Mr. Gurdjieff

Exploration of the movements as a science,
their effects on the physical, emotional and intellectual level ;
their energy effects in connection with the meridians and charkas of the body.
Exploration of Music and the science of vibrations
*
Inner and centering exercises :
these exercises help us to create an appropriate inner state for the practice
of self-observation and the movement, developing attention and subtler perception.
*
Meditation’s techniques and “sittings”:
coming from different traditions. They help us to get attuned with the quality of outer and inner stillness, basic conditions for watching ourselves
*
Free dance, body creative expressions,
rhythmic and relational games, as a support for the inner theme
*
Readings from Mr. Gurdjieff, from Osho,
from Bennett, from Hazrat Inayat Khan, from Mme de Salzmann
*
Dialogue and sharing in a respectful and loving atmosphere,
encouraging us to understand through verbal expression
the living messages that are revealed through the experiences of the movements.
These practices support self-observation, non-identification, and the search for an awakened consciousness free from conditioning.
The program is included within a theoretical-practical frame that makes the integration of the experience and the ideas possible.
