G. I. Gurdjieff

After Gurdjieff’s death in October 1949, his core group of pupils, guided by Jeanne de Salzmann, to whom he had passed the responsibility for his work, undertook to preserve and share the teaching. Experienced and trusted individuals in Paris, London, and New York founded local groups in many other cities during the 1950s. Several of these original pupils wrote personal accounts of their experience with Mr. Gurdjieff. In England, the most prominent pupils were P.D. Ouspensky, Alfred Richard Orage, Rina Hands, Jane Heap, Helen Entwistle, Henriette Lannes, C.S. Nott and Maurice Nicoll.
