The Work of Byron Katie

With Certified Facilitator and Trainer Aileen Cheatham


The Work is a simple tool to identify and question the thoughts that cause suffering.

The Work is simple, yet profound. It’s quick and effective.

The Work awakens us from our assumptions and interpretations into a kinder,

more flexible, more compassionate way of being.

Whether you are new to The Work, or an experienced practitioner, I invite you to its practice. I offer individual sessions, workshops and trips. I look forward to meeting you!

 

“I discovered that when I believed my thoughts I suffered, but when I didn’t believe them I didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always. And I invite you not to believe me. I invite you to test it for yourself.” – Byron Katie

Testimonials

  • "Words can’t describe what a gift Aileen and The Work are to me and my family. Aileen’s ability to listen and hold space while facilitating The Work is a gift. Her intuitive nature helps guide me through each question and by the end I see so much clearer, I am more present, and most of all peaceful within myself. Thank you, Aileen for walking along side me. I feel lucky to work with you. I'm forever grateful."
