for the All & Everything International Humanities Conference
“And all cosmic truths usually become known to all on
these planets, thanks to the fact that the beings of the given planet who by
their conscious labors learn some truth or other share it with other beings of
their planet, and in this way all the cosmic truths gradually become known by
all the beings of the given planet without any distinction.”
All and Everything, “An Objectively Impartial Criticism of the Life of Man,”
or, “Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson.” p. 563

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CONFERENCE
Originally conceived as a congenial meeting of the "Companions of the
Book" in 1996, the conference has developed into a world forum for the
presentation and discussion of recent writings, themes and music associated with
the Work and writing of G. I. Gurdjieff. Conferences have been held in the UK,
USA, Greece and the Netherlands.
The All & Everything Conference has become
established as an independent forum on the work of G. I. Gurdjieff, attracting
international scholars, artists, scientists, group leaders, students, and
speakers from around the world.

THE ALL & EVERYTHING CONFERENCE, what it is and is not
The ALL & EVERYTHING Conference provides an open, congenial & serious
atmosphere for the sharing of researches and investigations of G. I. Gurdjieff's
legacy. The Conference seeks to keep the study of the teachings of Gurdjieff
relevant to global scientific, spiritual and sociological developments.
The Conference includes the presentation of academic papers, individual view
papers, seminars on chapters and themes in All & Everything, and relevant
cultural events.
The gathering is open by invitation to all serious students of All & Everything. The
Conference is not intended to be a 'Group Work event' and thus does not include
work on Movements or on exercises that are related to personal or group Work.
The program is scheduled so as to encourage time for dialogue and the developing
of personal relationships outside the structured meetings.
STATEMENT ON INDEPENDENCE
OF THE ALL AND EVERYTHING CONFERENCE
The All and Everything Conferences are totally non-sectarian, and not presented
under the auspices or sponsorship of any Gurdjieff Group or umbrella
organization. The Conferences are and will remain entirely independent. They are
organized by a volunteer Planning Committee of students from many countries,
supported by a diverse volunteer Advisory Board composed of academics and
prominent students of Gurdjieff's teaching.
The composition of the Planning Committee and of the Advisory Board varies from
year to year.
No individuals, groups or umbrella organizations are permitted to exercise
influence over the conference programme or to make use of its facilities. No
participant has any authority to impose his or her views or opinions on any
other participant; all participants have an equal right to hold their own
particular views and opinions. All participants are encouraged to exercise their
right of liberty of thought and of expression within the limits of orderliness
and courtesy to others.
