From Cynthia Bourgeault:
“If G.I. Gurdjieff were ever to reincarnate, he would undoubtedly come back in a form looking suspiciously like Andrew Breitenberg. Beneath a sometimes stern and solemn external demeanor (because the task facing us is in fact serious), lies a magnetical lightness of being drawing students more deeply into their own inner seriousness, their own transformative potential.
In true Fourth Way style (but with a panache lacking in even most of its most venerable senior teachers), he quietly pushes the limits that hold everything mechanically in place—and all with a twinkle in his eye and a deep compassion, slyly revealing—to those with eyes to see— the compassionate heart and the holy trickster at his core.
There is a freshness and an integrity to how he understands and holds the teacher’s post that is truly unique and powerfully transformative for those fortunate enough to experience it. A breath of fresh air, from the future, for the future.”
