THE WORK is about applying what you know to your daily activities, rather than simply theorizing about abstract ideas of life. The author lived "the work life" and studied with Dr Maurice Nicoll for almost 20 years, beginning to teach a group at his request in 1955.The group had residential meetings at "Dorton House," and it was there that people had a chance to experiment with what they learned.A level of community developed: group projects included painting a mural, building a summer house, and making a glass mozaic of the zodiac - all activities designed to bring out various talents in the group. It was a great opportunity for learning !This record of "The Work" has been published to help students - more than 50 years later - understand how the teachings of Gurdjieff, Ouspensky and Nicoll can be actualized.
