Item Description

This package entitles one person to full tuition and accommodations for the nine-day School for the Work, March 9-18, 2014 in Ojai, California.

The 9-day School for The Work is an immersion experience—an immersion in freedom. Imagine a place where you can feel anything and say anything and know that it's all okay. Imagine that the person sitting next to you, whom you have never talked to before, asks you to facilitate her Work, and that fifteen minutes later you feel you can tell her anything. Each day during the School you may find yourself feeling freer and happier than the day before. Old habits may fall away like outworn clothes. You may find yourself eager to get up in the morning so that you won't miss a moment of this unfolding challenge.

In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year fall into depression, anger, and addiction, Byron Katie woke up one morning and realized that all suffering comes from believing our thoughts. 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. From this original insight, she would develop the Work, which consists of four simple questions and a turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. When you Work with a thought, you are able to see around it to choices beyond suffering.
