Fellowship of Friends

NGO / Public Service

Throughout the forty years since its founding, the Fellowship of Friends has actively developed and refined the philosophy of its founder, Robert Earl Burton. Inspired by the teachings of George Gurdjieff and Peter Ouspensky, Burton created the Fellowship and Apollo to teach the principle of being “present,” an ideal state of being wherein one’s mind is clear of all distractions, including those of its own making. It is in this state that a person becomes his or her truest, purest self. While the primary principle of the Fellowship of Friends is one of personal spiritual enrichment, its members are by no means isolated from the troubles of others.
