Events and Gatherings

Join us to explore the connection between celestial bodies and human temperament. This cosmic knowledge originated with ancient Mesopotamian priest-astronomers who first observed planetary movements as divine patterns influencing human affairs. The seven celestial bodies—Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—were each considered to govern distinct aspects of human character, creating recognizable psychological types. These types are still embedded in our language as “mercurial,” “jovial,” or “saturnine.”

Towards the end of his life, Ouspensky came to realize that something was missing in the fourth way as he knew it. He felt he had stumbled across something significant in his travels through India before he met Gurdjieff. Following Ouspensky’s cue, we will delve into the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology and philosophy, seeking to discover how its cosmology and practices may be synthesized into a powerful tool for self-remembering.
