Gurdjieff Movements centres us into a sharpened awareness of self. And whirling – it belongs to the mystical dimension – it brings out the mystic within us.

Gurdjieff Movements:

George Gurdjieff an enlightened Armenian mystic gave an important place to movement & dance. These structured movements originate from ancient temples of the Caucasus Mountains and were an integral part of esoteric school work. The movements evoke many different intelligences in us – harmonising our body, mind, emotions and spirit. This is called centering – to be unified in all the facets of our existence, bringing us a sharpening of awareness and into higher consciousness.

Osho says, “Gurdjieff called the ability to be aware of both the knower and the known simultaneously as self-remembering.”

Whirling Sacred Dances is a meditative art form inspired from the ancient Sufi mystics, the wild spinning gypsies, the earthy ghumraos of Rajasthan, and the crystalized awareness of enlightened mystics.

Osho says, “Whirling is an ancient Sufi technique. While your whole body is moving, you become aware of your very being, the watcher at the center, which is unmoving. You learn to be an unidentified witness at the center of the cyclone.”

Music and Poetry, rhythm and stillness, silent sitting are important elements that condition and refine our experiences.

Practiced as an active meditation, the work is unique as it centers us in the balance of duality.

We find stillness in motion and maintain balance with our inner compass.
