Gurdjieff Sacred Dances Retreat - “Journey to Inaccessible places”
Mata House Portugal, Chancelaria TNV, Torres Novas, PT## What are the dances about?
The Sacred Dances are part of the body of work of the Armenian mystic, George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff. They are a form of active meditation, used as a vehicle for inner transformation. They demand an extraordinary amount of attention, divided simultaneously between the body, the heart, and the mind, and are practiced as a group. The goal is not to “get the dances right”, but to observe our relationship to ourselves and others in the midst of challenge and movement. This process moves us towards lucidity and gives us understanding, so we may be liberated from our limitations, and choose to act from our Essence, with Conscience.
