Current series:
- Tuesdays at 19:30
Until December 2nd,2025
(November 4, 11, 18, 25, and December 2)
The class will have two parts:
- Movement Class
- Discussion, teaching and Inner Work
The Gurdjieff path is a complete system, with dances, philosophy, attention execises, and various meditations, offering a practical way for self-transformation.
As we practice the dances we experience ourselves as we truly are. Directly, immediately, without judgement, simply seeing: this is me, this is who I am, right now. And by seeing ourselves, with no illusions, we gradually step towards what we wish to be.
The dances, and the music we dance to, embody certain qualities, knowledge and transmissions. By dancing we connect to these new worlds.
Anyone can join. No special background is necessary.
Cost: 5-15 euros

About the facilitator:
Nimrod Tom Oren has been teaching movement, meditation, and experiential therapy for almost 20 years. He is the founder of a Mata House, a conscious, ecological and expressive community in central Portugal – see matahouse.org.
Nimrod has travelled the world looking for practices that have retained their essence and potency. He does not claim to know, only hopes to guide others towards their own knowing.
He offers these practices as a path of healing and transformation, methods which he has found useful for himself, as well as for many others.
