Gurdjieff Foundation of California

The Gurdjieff Foundation of California was founded in 1955 under the direction of Lord John Pentland, whom Gurdjieff himself had entrusted with the early American groups, and describes itself as the oldest group in California devoted to his teaching of inner development. It is a non-profit voluntary community based in San Francisco, with a second property in Guerneville, Sonoma County, where practical work takes place. It offers group meetings, Movements, sittings, study of the ideas and music, and belongs to the International Association of the Gurdjieff Foundations alongside Paris, New York and London.
