| dc.description | The workshop consisted of a series of intra- and interpersonal activities that led me to reconsider some (limiting) beliefs I heretofore held as “absolutely true.” This questioning led to a profound, and I think lasting sense of expansion, freedom and relaxation. I say “lasting” because my frame of reference seems to have changed. In many ways this will positively influence my work at AU, resulting in shifts:
• From more talking to more listening
• From fear and judgment of others to acceptance of others
• From self-doubt to self-acceptance and increased clarity of action
• To an enhanced sense of personal accountability and responsibility at all levels
Time will tell whether these shifts will make more more effective. My sense is already that they will, and, that I will experience less stress and be more present in general.
As you may recall, I didn’t present a paper or presentation at the workshop, which instead was experiential. I have however prepared a PowerPoint that I intend to present to the AU community on The Work of Byron Katie. The Wellness Committee (Nicole Collins et al.) have expressed interest in promoting it. I hope to do the presentation ASAP. Several colleagues at ELC have expressed interest.
I’m also interested in facilitating the Work at ELC with interested colleagues at noon hour perhaps once a week.
I hope this general overview will suffice. I’m not at liberty to divulge details about activities of the workshop. For further information on Byron Katie or The Work of Byron Katie, please consult www.TheWork.com and/or contact mcenkner@athabascau.ca for information regarding information sessions that occur periodically in Edmonton.
Thank-you for your support.
Kind regards,

| dc.description.abstract | Most of your Work at the School will consist of going deeper and deeper with the help of the four (self-inquiry) questions…. Another important part of the curriculum consists of exercises [that] are interpersonal; others consist of encounters with yourself. These exercises address subjects such as fear, death and dying, physical body and health, men and women, sex, prejudice, God, grief, relationships, diet and addictions, why we can't succeed and how to succeed. Occasional outings also belong in the category of exercises. …
…The Work can help you cope with the stresses that accompany any career: interactions at the workplace; uncertainties about vocation; procrastination; the upheavals of success and failure. | en |
