After Mr Gurdjieff's death in Paris in 1949 his closest pupils, led by Mme de Salzmann, continued the oral transmission of his practical teaching through activities touching all sides of a man, and this tradition continues today.


The Society in London was established at that time and has remained in close touch with the other main centres of Gurdjieff's teaching in Paris and New York, always adapting to new conditions whilst remaining true to its source.


There are associated groups in many other countries and elsewhere in the British Isles.
