"Never mind about your bodies, its your state that counts. You are nothing but the hieroglyphs of an inexhaustible language that I shall continue to speak through you and whose secret I will guard with my life. Though you may be clumsy, slow and lifeless, go on; write, write in your muscles, in your heads and, if possible, in your hearts. These are texts to be deciphered inwardly; only those who transmit them can understand them. You are living ciphers." Gurdjieff, quoted by Pierre Schaeffer

Gurdjieff Movements, or Sacred Dance, are designed to take us outside our accustomed postures to better receive the vibrations of the cosmos. We all know instinctively there are a limited number of postures that each of us use: this is how we can recognize our friends in a crowd. By moving into the 'objective' postures of the movements, the associative processes of thinking and feeling are changed; thus all parts of us, body, mind and spirit, become more integrated and tuned to the Divine calling. Movements do not require exceptional physical strength or coordination. Each individual gains coherency from participating.
