WISDOM and the FOURTH WAY

“Gurdjieff is bar none the best Trinitarian Theologian I have ever met,” claims Cynthia in the opening talk of this series, and this powerful set of teachings will show you why—and how to engage the creative power of the Trinity in service of your own—and the world’s—transformation.

In this foundational course, Cynthia Bourgeault offers a Gurdjieffian immersion inviting students into a vital body of teaching which still remains largely hidden in our culture. Across 10 sessions, Cynthia shares insights and applications on Gurdjieff’s key topics while weaving the thread into “dialogue with Jesus' vision in extraordinarily powerful ways.”

How does one engage “voluntary acceptance of constriction and diminishment?” Exploring Christian mystical perspectives on aging and the Gurdjieffian second body, this course follows seamlessly on Building Second Body and includes a guest lecture by Gurdjieffian scholar Michael Pittman.

How do we develop the spiritual substances and conscious presence needed in our world today? In building our second, or Kesdjan, body we begin to have a vessel to hold and enact higher and finer dimensions of consciousness. Cynthia considers these our foundational ”technologies for transformation.”
