About the Presentation:

Bryan and Sue will introduce The Work of Byron Katie, and demonstrate this simple, yet powerful process of inquiry-based stress reduction. Learn how you can use The Work to identify and question the thoughts and beliefs that cause stress in your life, and ultimately all suffering in the world. The Work shows you what's causing your suffering, and through this understanding, replaces it with mental clarity and inner peace.

The Work is sometimes described as the "how to" for Eckhart Tolle's teachings of Presence. It may be used to alleviate depression, reduce and eliminate stress and anger, improve relationships with others and yourself, and to increase mental clarity in any situation. The process of The Work consists of "Four Questions and a Turnaround", and it can be used with any stressful thought.
