We cannot remember ourselves because it is only with the mind that we try – the two other centres have no interest in it, but they must change, for total change is possible only through the emotional and instinctive centres – yet these two centres have no language, i.e. mind cannot address these through its wishes. Yet mind alone is not a human being – any more than a driver alone is a whole equipage.

 

Past Events

A&E Conference 2025

The All and Everything International Humanities Conference is an international forum for the presentation and discussion of studies associated with the exploration of G. I. Gurdjieff’s work and legacy, and in particular his writings.

The conference aims to provide an impartial, serious, and congenial atmosphere for those who wish to explore these teachings with the hope that, by sharing questions and insights, a wider horizon of understanding and practical incorporation may appear.

The conference is open to all students of Gurdjieff’s work and legacy. While providing a framework for structured meetings, discussions and readings, the conference also aims to facilitate interactions to encourage relationships and exchanges among individuals and Work groups.

The All and Everything International Humanities Conference was proposed by Mrs. A.L. Staveley for the purpose to “try and fathom the gist” of Mr. Gurdjieff’s writings as “companions of the book.”

 

The spiritual way brought by G.I. Gurdjieff has been recognized as one of the most original, enduring, and penetrating teachings of our time. Although great advances have been made in science and technology, can we say that the human condition has also advanced? We may have acquired great knowledge about the world, but understanding our ‘inner world’ requires effort in another direction, one which the ancients knew about, but which has been lost over time. The Fourth Way shows a way to restore the balance between ‘knowledge’ and ‘being’, vital if we are to regain our status as integrated human beings.
