760 Mouvements Mécaniques

The school of G.I. Gurdjieff “In the beginning it was a vibration… or, if you prefer, the Word”. Who is Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, and what is the nature of the message he conveyed?

Even today, more than seventy years after his death, Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff remains an enigmatic figure. Despite access to his writings and music, defining him is no straightforward task. His message was far from a simple directive aimed solely at his contemporaries.

It is a call to inner evolution, charting a course for both current and future generations. His teachings act as a bridge between Eastern wisdom and Western science.
