The Work of Byron Katie

Jim Frank, from Malvern Sweat Lodge in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and Jim Dodds, from Waitsfield, will present a three-hour workshop on The Work of Byron Katie at The Yoga Loft on Monday, May 28, from 1 till 4pm.

In 1986, Byron Katie was living in a halfway house in Barstow, California when she experienced an awakening that changed her life, and led to the beginnings of The Work. The Work is the end of suffering. No story, no suffering, it's that simple, and four easy questions take you there, as told in her first book, Loving What Is.

The Work uses the mind to ask the questions and looks to the heart for the answers. We don't have to change or replace a thought. When we examine an untrue thought it just slips away. And that is the end of suffering.

Everyone who attends will learn how to use the Four Questions and Turnaround to deal with the obstacles that arise and obstruct our connections with joy.

Workshop Cost is $25.00 at the door, $20.00 if paid ahead of time. If you can sponsor an additional admission please let us know. Some scholarships available. To register, please call 802-496-2027.
