The Plan Is Good
Selected Writings by Annie Lou Staveley, A Student of G.I. Gurdjieff
Annie Lou Staveley came in direct contact with G.I. Gurdjieff after World War II through her teacher, Jane Heap, with whom she studied in London. Mrs. Staveley returned to the United States, eventually settling in Portland, Oregon, where she connected with others interested in continuing their study of Mr. Gurdjieff’s teaching. When her home could no longer accommodate the growing number of pupils, a hall in Portland was rented, and, later, a farm was purchased in Aurora, Oregon.
Compiled by those who carry on Mrs. Staveley’s work today, The Plan Is Good is a collection of themes created for Sunday Work Days, articles, letters and other pieces written by her over a 30-year period. Many of these writings have never been published or publicly accessible until now. Each offers a unique view of her understanding of human life and her method of transmitting it through the written word.
