Gurdjieff Movements Weekend Retreats

Sacred Dances Weekend Retreats on Whidbey Island, WA, USA

Couched in idyllic Penn Cove, against the Northern Cascade mountain range, Whidbey Akhaldans School‘s weekend retreats feature a blend of experiences designed to facilitate deeper connection to ourselves, to others, and to nature. Together, we participate in morning sittings; Gurdjieff Movements and Exercises to develop capacities of awareness and attention; discussion, sharing, and exploration of the Fourth Way themes. We intentionally collaborate with one another during this time, including preparing and sharing meals together, working in Nature together, sharing, and reflecting on our experiences together.
