Auroville Retreat Presents "The Work of Byron Katie" On 4th and 5th of April in Auroville "Suffering is optional." –
Byron Katie Born "Byron Kathleen Reid," and now lovingly referred to as simply "Katie," woke up
to herself one February morning in 1986 after a decade of inner turmoil. Depression, paranoia, agoraphobia, and
frequent bouts of rage had plagued her until then. That morning she saw that when she believed her thoughts
she suffered, and when she didn't believe her thoughts she experienced a freedom and happiness like no other.
She saw that without concepts she didn't have to change the world outside to find happiness and this
happiness had been available to her all along. What she had discovered was nothing new but it was a
profound inner transformation that gave birth to the simple yet powerful self-awakening process that is now called
"The Work."
When she returned to her family after that experience (she was 43 years old at the time),
they could barely recognize her as this woman who had returned to them was full of love, compassion, and
the ability to listen without judgment; so unlike the woman who had left because she just could not take the
suffering within. Since then (she is now in her 70's), she has helped thousands of people and touched
millions through The Work, which is also called "inquiry" as it involves four simple questions designed to
shed awareness on any seeming problem. Born in Texas and later settled in California, Katie has since
travelled the world offering workshops and talks. Besides the United States, her workshops are very
popular in Europe, particularly in Germany, and people from around the world come to attend them.
Now, for the very first time in India, a workshop (titled "Freedom in Inquiry") will be held in Auroville on
The Work of Byron Katie. It will be facilitated by Jaishree Sellamuthu and will be held on a weekend,
just after Good Friday, on the 4th and 5th of April. Discover how you can let go of your limiting
beliefs/concepts on your own through The Work and find freedom within! Remember, suffering is
optional! For more information & registration,
