Lillian Firestone was born and received her early education in China, where her family's travels nurtured her lifelong interest in Asian philosophy and culture. She met the ideas of George Gurdjieff in New York City, and has studied them for many years with a succession of teachers including Jeanne de Salzmann, Michel de Salzmann, Henri Tracol and Christopher Fremantle. With their guidance she applied the ideas to the education of children in a special practical work on which this book is based.
The Forgotten Language of Children
Author/Artist: Lillian Firestone
Publisher: Indications Press
First published: 2010
This experiment in living intentionally is the first book that shows George Gurdjieff's unique method for raising children with integrity, courage and independence. Part memoir, part vivid accounts told by the children themselves, this book creates a new category in the literature of education and psychology.
