Gurdjieff Legacy presents hands-on seminar: Self-Knowledge & Being

If you've read any of the ideas of Gurdjieff or Ouspensky and feel that they give you the urge to experiment with living more consciously ... I would urge you to find a genuine group to practice with.  

And in the Work, 'genuine' means that the teacher has a direct lineage that can be traced to Gurdjieff. William Patrick Patterson was for many years a student of Lord John Pentland, the man Gurdjieff appointed to lead the Work in America.

Mr. Patterson will lead a seminar on the theme "Self-Knowledge & Being in the Technological World-Time" in Santa Barbara December 3-6.

Seminar Exploring Gurdjieff's Ideas and Esoteric Practices

I've been to a few of these seminars, and I generally return bursting with energy and full of practical spiritual ideas to explore in my daily life.

The Work is a cleansing of oneself, raising our vibration and making every experience more pure and vivid in terms of perception, although it may be difficult to see oneself and one's conditioned behaviors objectively and impartially, as we see others (or think we do).

Patterson's seminars are now open to students only, but if there is sincere interest, I would recommend contacting Gurdjieff Legacy:
