Legacy and Teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff, Afternoon Keynote, Alexandre de Salzmann

Afternoon Keynote, “Mr. Gurdjieff's Original Approach to Life”, delivered by Alexandre de Salzmann These talks were delivered as part of "The Teachings and Legacy of G.I. Gurdjieff" conference at the Center for the Study of World Religions, Harvard Divinity School. The conference focused on the legacy and teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff, a charismatic philosopher, mystic, spiritual teacher, and composer. Gurdjieff taught the Fourth Way, which aimed to connect practices involving emotions, body, and mind as a way of reaching higher states of consciousness and awakening from the state of “waking sleep.” The event offered a first-of-its-kind forum for practitioners and scholars from within and outside of the Gurdjieff world to join in conversations, exchanges, and reflections on the spiritual and scientific inspirations that influenced Gurdjieff, the embodied practices that were at the core of his teachings, as well as their related cultural productions.
