In this workshop, we will learn the transformative process, The Work of Byron Katie, to gain a perspective of clarity and inner peace. The Work is simply four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. Participants will practice listening to the answers they find inside themselves and open their minds to profound, spacious, and life-transforming insights. We human beings tend to put our happiness on hold until something changes. We'll be happy, we think, when we get what we believe we want or need: more money, a healthier body, a more attractive or understanding partner, a loving mother, and children who behave. Many of us spend our lives trying desperately to get the world and the people in it to satisfy our desires. No wonder we don't feel any lasting peace; mentally we're continually engaged in war with reality. As we do The Work of Byron Katie, not only do we remain alert to our stressful thoughts—the ones that cause all the anger, sadness, and frustration in our world—but we question them, and through that questioning the thoughts lose their power over us. **All proceeds benefit the Prescott Community Center.**
