The Path to Unity: What Gurdjieff & Sufi Teachings say about The Complete Human “Al-Insan Al-Kamil”
About Workshop
When I first learned the Enneagram I was disappointed by my type, and even more disappointed to know that it doesn’t change. But when I started studying Gurdjieff, I became fascinated by the concept of Essence. I found a lot of inspiration through realizing that the personality isn’t the only option for us humans, and that the human can be much more.
My interest in Sufi teachings led me to see that that both Gurdjieff and the Sufis were talking about the same thing. Gurdjieff talked about humans having Multiple Iayers and how their path towards the whole is by Acknowledging, owning and integrating all their Iayers. Sufis also talk about The Complete Human Al-Insan Al-Kamil, which according to Ibn Arabi is the mirror of the whole universe..
In this presentation I aim to correlate the Gurdjieffian & Sufi teachings about the human path towards unity. I also intend to provide attendees with information about some practical steps & Exercises that come from both Gurdjieff’s fourth way & Sufi Schools.
I see this presentation as an invitation for Participants to align their different ‘I”s, embrace their conflicting parts, to reconcile towards their path for unity and wholeness.
