About the Workshop

In the words of the Greek philosopher Epictetus: “We are disturbed not by what hap¬pens to us, but by our thoughts about what happens.”

This class is an opportunity for you to have an experience of The Work of Byron Katie. It will provide a space for you to come out of suffering, to find inner peace and clarity, and to live a joyful life. This is where your freedom lies. The course will be fun, revealing and leave you with a tool you can always use when stressed.

“Suffering is optional,” Katie says. “Whenever we experience a stress¬ful feeling anything from mild discomfort to intense sorrow, rage, or despair we can be certain that there is a specific thought causing our reaction, whether or not we are conscious of it. The way to end our stress is to investigate the thinking that lies behind it, and anyone can do this by himself with a piece of paper and a pen.”

Please come to this course with some preparation: start reading Katie’s book , Loving What Is (available at ABC’s White Room) – Introduction through Chapter 3, and bring a filled-in Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet. The Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet is availabe at:

— Stretch your mind — Using the work of Byron Katie

Wise women (and funny ladies) Byron Katie and Jane Lynch discuss the big questions we face every day.

Ready to Get to Work? Bring it On!

Jane Lynch has spent years trying to get right with herself. In her new memoir, Happy Accidents (Voice), the actress who stars as Sue Sylvester

What happens when you don’t believe what you think. There might have been other ways and this was the way for this boy. He was honest articulate . And there are no victims. And Casey does not call himself a victim. A boy who is bullied turns the event around. He is modest unassuming and honest.

Now this is the title and  he is not a victim though the mind would like to make it so. He is not a hero and again this is mind trying to make somethe what they are not. Could be he is a person that respond to what is for him.

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to Success” Albert Schwitzer

Find the thought that would keep you from happiness, question them, turn them around and set yourself free.

For those of you who missed this event. Well, that was for me wonderful learning and good to be in the atmosphere of the work. The most important thing for me was to hear and see Katie helping people stay in the work and not to leave the work for their story.

What is the work it is IQ. Investigate (the inquiry)  the thoughts that you are believing that cause you suffering. And Question them using the 4 question that are the work. Katie calls The Work the  4 questions the mechanics for coming out of pain and suffer and dis-pare.

infinite possibilities

Investigate you thing as suggested by the work of Byron Katie will leaves you with infinite possibilities, to live you life  kinder, loving, creative and  harmonious.

According to Hawking and Mlodinow, one consequence of the theory of quantum mechanics is that events in the past that were not directly observed did not happen in a definite way. Instead they happened in all possible ways. This is related to the probabilistic nature of matter and energy revealed by quantum mechanics: Unless forced to choose a particular state by direct interference from an outside observation, things will hover in a state of uncertainty.

For example, if all we know is that a particle traveled from point A to point B, then it is not true that the particle took a definite path and we just don’t know what it is. Rather, that particle simultaneously took every possible path connecting the two points.

Yeah, we’re still trying to wrap our brains around this.

The authors sum up: “No matter how thorough our observation of the present, the (unobserved) past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.”
