New Option Makes It Easier to Participate in The Work 101

The Work 101 Is a Great Way to Get Started with The Work

As you know, reading about The Work is not the same as doing it. That would be like reading about meditation instead of doing it. The benefits come from doing.

But if you don’t know how to do it, where do you begin?

One way to get started doing The Work is to participate in my three-week online course called The Work 101. In this course, you’ll learn exactly what The Work is, and how to do it. And you’ll get a lot of practice actually doing The Work. That’s when everything starts to come into focus. Then you can start using this powerful tool in your everyday life.

The Course Keeps Evolving

This is not a static course. The Work 101 keeps growing and changing as I receive helpful feedback from participants.

And one piece of feedback that I hear from prospective participants is that they don’t have time for webinar sessions during the week. That makes it challenging because I don’t have time for webinar sessions during the evenings or weekends.

So I’ve found a way that could work for both of us.

Now Some Courses Will Not Have Webinars

From time to time, I will offer The Work 101 without any webinars at all. This will allow people who work during weekdays to participate.

Instead of webinars, there will be some videos to watch and private partner pairings with other participants in the course. You will be able to arrange a time to meet with your partner when it is convenient for you.

The forum will continue to be the same, and I will continue to read and support you as you do your assignments on the forum five days a week.

So Now There are Two Options: With or Without Webinars

The August course will be without webinars. The September course will be with webinars. Depending on demand, I will continue to offer both options as we go forward.

Have a great week,

“What I love about The Work is that it allows you to go inside and experience your own freedom for yourself, to experience what already exists within you: the wisdom that is unchanging, immovable, ever waiting, ever present. The Work allows you to go there. It’s like going home. You don’t need a teacher. To ask is to receive, and now you know what to ask. Don’t wait for the answer of anyone else, and don’t believe a word I say. Give yourself your own wisdom. You create your own suffering, and you can end it. It’s as simple as that.” Byron Katie, Question Your Thinking, Change The World
