The Work of Byron Katie™

Loving What Is — Being the Work

Welcome to this Retreat, where we’ll practice The Work of Byron Katie™, with exercises specifically designed to enable
you to identify, understand, and work with beliefs you may have around relationships, body issues, others’ behaviour, health and disease, food, death, and survival, and those uncomfortable thoughts that can lead to fear, anxiety, resentment and jealousy, dis-ease, pain and isolation. We invite you to bring your stressful, limiting beliefs to meditative inquiry, to find what is true for you, and to come home to your innocent, beautiful, peaceful self. In so doing, many of us have discovered the intense beauty and love at the heart of all that is, no longer separated by fear, judgements, or projections, and free to unfold in the presence of the love that you truly are.

Four questions and a Turn Around

We’ll be working singly, in pairs, and in group, creating an atmosphere of support, intimacy, and deep spaciousness. And if you think you have nothing to work on, the sharing of some community tasks like cooking together, watering the garden, clearing up, etc provides plenty of stuff for the mind to chew on: “he should do more, I'm too tired, it's not fair, they should be quiet”...ad infinitum. Honest, kind, communication comes naturally when you practise The Work



Back home, whenever stress arises, you’ll have a superb tool for living. Doing The Work can bring laughter and tears as you begin to discover more of your true being. It can become a foundation for living in a more conscious and loving awareness of yourself and your world and a gift you’ll want to share. It is as simple and as powerful as Four Questions and a Turnaround.

We‘ll have plenty of leisure time in the afternoons for walking in the lovely wooded hills, playing on the white sandy beaches, or simply resting, and in the evening a meditation, circle, or individual sessions complete the day. There‘ll be several periods of solitude and silence throughout the week.
