Sue Young and Rusty Nelson are long-time Gurdjieff students. The teachings have informed their special style of Folk-Americana music.  This December 14^th show is a follow up to a very successful performance in September.  They are thrilled to be back in Buddha Hall!

A direct student of Gurdjieff for 25 years, Mr. Willem Nyland started groups in America on Gurdjieff’s request. Mr. Nyland (died 1975) left a large number of audio tapes which continue to be studied today by his students.

Sacred Dances (Movements) passed down in person through the years also continue to be studied intensively. A meeting offered twice per month in Austin is led by a direct student of Mr. Nyland and has been teaching the Movements for 30 years.

Need a change of pace, or a special writing escape? The Writing Barn welcomes writers from Austin and beyond to a Write Away Day on Thursday, November 14,, 2024 9:00AM-3:00 PM.

Please join us for "After.” a one day art show to celebrate being "After" the summer, fall equinox, election season, the Hunters Moon. "After" is a one day art show to think about color as memory, the dark skies, and nature.

Has anyone ever suggested to you, “You should journal about that,” and you froze, unsure what that really meant? Join us for an enriching and interactive workshop where we’ll delve into the art of meditation and journaling. 

Using the centuries-old Panca Maya model as our framework, we’ll explore layers of self, from the physical to the spiritual. You’ll sample a variety of meditation and journaling practices that help ground you in your physical body, deepen your understanding of thoughts and emotions, and access inner wisdom. Ultimately, these practices guide us toward connecting with Purusa – our self, spirit, or consciousness – at the core of the Panca Maya model.

Kids heading back to school? Now you can get back to the page! The Writing Barn welcomes writers from Austin and beyond to a Write Away Day on Thursday, August 22, 2024 9:00AM-3:00 PM.

We’re going above and beyond the experience of spending the day writing at a café—enjoy complimentary coffee, tea and water, chat with local creatives and maybe even find a new writing partner and friend! Wifi access is available and outlets are aplenty throughout Buddha Hall. Don’t hesitate to take a breather with a lovely stroll around the 7.5 acres of Writing Barn property.

These particular exercises and movements were brought to America by Gurdjieff and presented to the public in 1924.

One hundred years ago, Gurdjieff left Jasmine Howarth with the responsibility for movements in America from that time forward. The groups of Mr. Nyland received these movements under her direction and often her direct teaching at the barn in New York.

The Center Atx presents ~ Roots Alive Fest // Raices Vivas ~ 6/15 from 3 - 8 pm. THE CENTER is Austin's newest space for creativity + restoration. We welcome you to be part of ROOTS ALIVE FESTIVAL, a cultural arts & live music festival celebrating our indigenous cultural roots. Inspired by the timeless adage, "They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds". We firmly believe that we are those resilient seeds and our Roots are Alive.

We take time to acknowledge cycles, give offerings to the land and to celebrate. We will be supporting artists representing various Latin American countries and those of Indigenous and Native American descent. We will have an artist and healing market & experience with food, healing and arts vendors, sound healing, herbal support, tea and more. *Inquire about a vendor spot.
