“Our audience is ecstatic about Katie joining us to talk about The Work and her upcoming book A Thousand Names for Joy. Her message of self-inquiry and hope have helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world dealing with a variety of issues in their lives, and is an especially important asset in the grieving process” said Dr. Heidi Horsley, co-host of Healing the Grieving Heart.
Byron Katie lived an "ordinary American life," until her late thirties, when she began to suffer from depression and anxiety. Her condition worsened until she found it difficult get out of bed, relate to her family, or work. Then one day, without apparent cause, she had a life-changing experience. In her words,
"I saw clearly, irrevocably, that everything was backward, upside down from what I believed. My thinking had opposed everything as it truly was and reacted with stories of how I thought it should be. "My husband should be more honest."
"My children should respect me more." Now I saw that instead of seeing what was happening, I was placing conditions on what was happening - as if I had the ability to dictate reality.
It was clear to me now that the truth was the extreme opposite. My husband should not be more honest - because he wasn't. My children shouldn't respect me more - because they didn't. Instantly I became a lover of reality. I noticed that this felt more natural, more peaceful."
She has developed a method of self-realization based on this experience which she teaches at workshops and seminars around the world. Throughout North America and Europe, Byron Katie International offers free events in which Katie does The Work with as many audience members as time allows. It also offers two-day intensives and the nine-day School for The Work with Byron Katie. The Work of Byron Katie Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides educational materials free to all who request them and sponsors the training of educators, therapists, and prison-workers.
She is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition. Byron Katie is married to the poet and translator, Stephen Mitchell, who co-authored her first book, "Loving What Is."
Dr. Heidi Horsley herself is a bereaved sibling whose 17 year old brother, Scott died in an automobile accident when she was 20 yrs. old.
