SATURDAYS SEPTEMBER 7/14/21/28 2024
In this course, Gafni and Stein deepen the themes raised in First Principles and First Values. The Eye of Value is contrasted with the Eye-of-Anti-Value, and the topics of anthro-ontology, story, and value are explored in depth. Marc and Zak will engage participants in a series of dialogues at the edges of human knowledge, where there is a dance between the languages of science and the sacred, and between the lineages of ancient wisdom and our living memory of the future.

SATURDAYS SEPTEMBER 14/21/28-2024
In this three-week introductory course, we will explore the foundations of an authentic path, addressing both the hindrances and the beauties along the way. We will also discuss the importance of having a living human teacher to help our hearts expand.
Ultimately, only we can know the depth of our yearning for an authentic inner life. So, where do our priorities lie? The Universe, God, or Truth has no choice but to respond to this sacred need.
Course: Gurdjieff’s Christianity (With Luke Behncke)
SATURDAYS OCTOBER 5/12/19 2024
In this course it is hoped that you will develop a deeper understanding of the history and teachings of the Fourth Way and its critical relationship to Christianity on Gurdjieff’s own terms, free from the superficial and often agenda-driven interpretations of post-modern or meta-modern intellectuals and celebrity philosophers. The critical questions to be explored concerning the spiritual evolution of human life, both collectively and personally, as Gurdjieff saw it, stretching from the deep past to beyond the reach of the distant future, may offer a different perspective on your own life and its possibilities.
