Encyclopedia > Olga de Hartmann

Thomas and Olga de Hartmann were students of G. I. Gurdjieff. Thomas de Hartmann was also a composer of orchestral and film music. He transcribed and co-wrote much of the music that Gurdjieff collected and used for his movements exercises. He wrote Our Life with Mr. Gurdjieff together with his wife Olga de Hartmann who was the personal secretary of Gurdjieff for many years. After the death of her husband she collected many of the early talks of Gurdjieff in the book Views from the Real World (1973).

Gurdjieff and His School (7549 words)

Through the guidance of Jeanne de Salzmann and Jessmin Howarth, the Foundation has taken precautions to transmit these exercises under comparable conditions, as part of the central aim of developing the moral and spiritual power of individuals, through the study and growth of the attention factor in the human organism.
Some years later, de Hartmann collaborated in a similar way on Gurdjieff’s musical works that were independent of the Movements.
Fourth way and sufism - Sy Ginsburg, USA (4430 words)
Jeanne de Salzmann met Ashish in 1971, but that was in New Delhi, not at the ashram.
The Gurdjieff Foundations etc. that were established by Madame de Salzmann fairly soon after Gurdjieff's death seem to-day lack this co-ordinated leadership that was continued by Michel de Salzmann after his mother's passing away and looks almost like it has come to an end when Michel died.
I knew both Jeanne and Michel de Salzmann, if not well, then at least sufficiently to know that they were both dedicated to their own work on Self and to helping others with their work.
