About us

We are a group of people who share ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff and follow the path of Gurdjieff Work. We live in Moscow, Russia and meet every Sunday to practice Gurdjieff Movements and inner exercises. Our weekly classes are open for everyone who seeks transformation and harmony, and values the group work for the benefit of all beings.

We are open for contacts with other groups and individuals from different cities and countries.



Much love from Russia to all of you!

Recent event: annual seminar "Gurdjieff Work and Movements"
April 18-25 2009, Russia, on the edge of the rainbow
Instructor: Deborah Rose Longo
Pianist: Natasha Katalkina
Organizers: Elena Zavolosnova and Nadya Nilova


This year along with traditional Fourth Way practices – study of Gurdjieff Movements, practical work and cooking together – our seminar included some new activities, such as art classes and exploration of the nature of colors, sounds, and space. As always, inner exercises designed to develop awareness and attention, as they relate to being present in three centers, were applied through the day and were an integral part of everything we were doing.

We spent together one unforgettable week, exploring, experimenting. Everything provided us a space to Work: rainbow, "Ark" house where we lived, waterfall, Movements, painting, music, mandalas, colors, sounds, silence, efforts, impressions, sensations, feelings, vibrations, ideas, discoveries…

We also worked with the chakras as an additional tool for self-observation and self-development. We looked at the balanced and unbalanced aspects of each chakra daily, connecting this to specific Fourth Way practices, which helped our Work be more focused and integrated.

Photos from the event are here.
