The Gurdjieff Work is for those who are searching for something; those who feel there must be something more to life; those whose questioning turns in the realms of philosophy, psychology and religion. It is a system of ideas and practical indications, which points the way along a gradual and hard-won path towards the growth of genuine being, self-development and individuality.

The Work has no quick or easy means to loosen the grip of our automatic inner habits and outward mechanical responses in daily life. It calls for persistently repeated efforts to be made alongside other people working to the same principles. It requires each of us to question and test the ideas for ourselves, referring continually to our individual experience and developing understanding.
