The Fortnightly Crier
A two-week cycle of working together on an idea, theme, or exercise.
Meeting are via Zoom on Sundays. Tony Blake presents a talk on the first Sunday of the cycle which is then available as a Vimeo video for members. A follow-up Zoom meeting the following Sunday allows everyone to share their experiences and talk together.
The interactions will be synchronous and asynchronous. Sometimes we’ll meet live on Zoom. Most of the time we will follow-up, share, see, and converse via the forums of The DuVersity Online. We hope for ongoing participation throughout the week.
The Fourth Way
A Hazardous Path
A New Book By Anthony Blake
Now available on Amazon for download.
This short book is a personal story of experiences of the Fourth Way, first of all under the guidance of John Bennett, a leading exponent of Gurdjieff’s ideas and methods, and then, after his death, in various explorations. It sketches many of the people involved and emphasises the hazardous, uncertain nature of the way. With many illustrations, it reflects on methods and practices but also depicts the significance of encounters between people. In a highly condensed form it surveys the fourth way as an evolving path of search embracing the necessary diversity needed for understanding in art, science and spirituality.
