Loving What Is

BYRON KATIE

The Work of Byron Katie has been called the most powerful self-realization technique ever developed. Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now, says, “The Work is like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through illusion and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being.”

The Work is a revolutionary way to deal with the thoughts that keep you from living in peace and joy. It involves asking four simple questions that can transform how you experience problems.

In this workshop, Katie, with her humor and lovingly incisive clarity, will introduce you to The Work and show you how self-inquiry can bring you a joy-filled life. Weekend intensives have been life-changing experiences for thousands of people. Participants at recent intensives have called it “revelatory” and “the most powerful experience of my life.”

Katie, who recently did The Work with Oprah, has worked with millions of people all over the world who report profound experiences and lasting transformations. “Katie’s events are riveting to watch,” The Times has reported.

The Work is a simple yet powerful process of inquiry that teaches you to identify and question thoughts that cause all the suffering in the world. It is a way to understand what is hurting you, and to address your problems with clarity. People who do The Work as an ongoing practice report life-changing results, including:

•Alleviation of depression - find resolution, and even happiness, in situations that were once debilitating.
•Decreased stress - learn how to live with less anxiety or fear.
•Improved relationships - experience deeper connection and intimacy with your partner, your parents, your children, your friends, and yourself.
•Reduced anger - understand what makes you angry and resentful, and become less reactive, less often, with less intensity.
•Increased mental clarity - live and work more intelligently and effectively, with integrity.
•More energy - experience a new sense of ongoing vigour and wellbeing.
•More peace - discover how to become 'a lover of what is'.

Lama Surya Das, author, Awakening the Buddha Within says, “Katie’s Work is a wonderful, transformative practice for anyone interested in spiritual growth.”

Byron Katie

Byron Katie has one job: to show people how to stop suffering. When Katie appears, lives change. In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year spiral into depression, rage, and self-loathing, Katie woke up one morning to a state of constant joy that has never left her. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Her simple yet powerful process of inquiry is called The Work.

The Work consists of four questions and a turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. When you question a thought, you see around it to the choices beyond suffering. Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for more than twenty years. Her free public events, weekend workshops, nine-day School for The Work, and 28-day residential Turnaround House have brought freedom to people all over the world.

Byron Katie's six books include the bestselling Loving What Is, I Need Your Love—Is That True?, and A Thousand Names for Joy.
