Biographie de l'auteur :
The International Humanities Conference: All & Everything, has been held yearly since 1996, and provides an open, congenial and serious atmosphere for the sharing of researches and investigations of G. I. Gurdjieff's legacy. The Conference seeks to keep the study of the teachings of Gurdjieff relevant to global scientific, spiritual and sociological developments. The Conference includes the presentation of academic papers, individual view papers, seminars on chapters and themes in All & Everything, and relevant cultural events. The program is scheduled so as to encourage time for dialogue and the developing of personal relationships outside the structured meetings. The All & Everything Conference has become established as an independent forum on the work of G. I. Gurdjieff, attracting international scholars, artists, scientists, group leaders, students, and speakers. The Conferences are totally non-sectarian, and are not presented under the auspices or sponsorship of any Gurdjieff Group or umbrella organization. The Conferences are and will remain entirely independent. They are organized by a volunteer Planning Committee of students from many countries, supported by a diverse volunteer Advisory Board composed of academics and prominent students of Gurdjieff's teaching. The composition of the Planning Committee and of the Advisory Board varies from year to year. The gathering is open by invitation to all serious students of All & Everything.
