Virtual retreats are a great way to get support for doing The Work of Byron Katie whether you are new or very experienced. Sessions are flexible to meet the needs of each participant. No question goes unanswered. No doubt goes unaddressed. And you get lots of time for practicing The Work on any topic that is up for you.
All four retreats are open to everyone. Join us today.
For each virtual retreat, we will be offering sessions around the clock for 48 hours so all time zones can participate. Check out the schedule below. It’s a total of 16 two-hour sessions to choose from day and night.
I will host eight sessions each day and members of Inquiry Circle, my ongoing practice group for The Work, will host eight sessions each night.

Virtual retreats give you a chance to go deeply into one issue, and to be held with compassion and understanding as you work your way through the stressful thoughts you wish to question. There is also room just to listen if that would serve you better.
Do you find yourself overwhelmed by certain stresses even when you do The Work on them? You may want a longer, more uninterrupted time in inquiry—and the support of others who do The Work—to address what is coming up from inside.
Or maybe you just want to dive a little deeper into your work. These retreats provide a container for that. You don’t have to be stressed out to get something out of The Work. The beauty of The Work of Byron Katie (4 Questions and Turnarounds) is that it meets you wherever you are and helps you take one more step towards inner balance and freedom.
Sometimes, working on old, childhood situations can be a great way to spend a weekend. And just as valuable can be a weekend spent doing The Work on the tiny rubs in daily life.
During virtual retreats, we will be available all day and night to do The Work. For each retreat, the schedule starts at 4 PM Pacific Time on Friday and ends at 3 PM Pacific Time on Sunday, alternating 2-hour sessions with 1-hour breaks.
This allows for different time zones around the world to participate. You don’t need to participate in all of the sessions, just pick as many as you wish to join.
A retreat is an intensive way to gain momentum while working through a stressful issue. Each session offers the opportunity to go a little deeper. If you are new to The Work, this is also a great way to quickly learn how to do The Work.
We will do a combination of group work and partner work. For group work, we will lead you in a variety of activities including facilitating participants one at a time with the whole group, doing popcorn inquiry, answering questions, brainstorming for stressful thoughts to question, sharing experiences, and sharing ideas of how to do The Work.
For partner work, we will use the breakout rooms in Zoom to pair up to do The Work. My co-facilitators and I will include ourselves in the partnering, and we will be available to support anyone who needs assistance during the breakout sessions.
At the beginning of each session, we will give everyone the option to continue with the group session or begin partner work right away in the breakout rooms. In this way, those who already have experience doing The Work have the option to get in two full hours of partner work per session, while the rest of us will do a combination of group work and partner work each session. You can choose your preference each time. You can also ask for a breakout room just for doing written work. And you are welcome to just listen if you prefer not to do The Work in any session.
The cost for a 2-day retreat is $300
Scholarships are available for virtual retreats. Please contact us if you need a scholarship application. Completed scholarship applications must be returned to us by the end of the workday on Thursday (the day before the retreat begins) to be considered.
We look forward to diving into the amazing world of self-inquiry with you. What makes it amazing is the “discovery of yourself” that happens when you ask these questions and wait for your answers.
The price is $300.

If you just want to hang out with me and others for a few days doing The Work together.
The 2023 Autumn Retreat was a wonderful experience of getting together with folks to do The Work.
Todd’s expert facilitation and deep practice helped us all in co-creating a warm, safe, and open space to approach the work in our own ways, yet together. For example, there was plenty of flexibility to work in different ways, whether individually or in a group.
One thing that really stood out was everyone’s kind and generous support for each other, and responsiveness to what was real and true and emerging in the moment.
I was deeply inspired by other’s work and look forward to making these retreats a regular practice.
There is something special about doing The Work during a weekend retreat. Todd creates a supportive, safe, and fun environment for self-inquiry with another, by yourself or a group setting. The retreat is a deep and powerful way for me to dive in and know myself more deeply. An uplifting experience which permeates throughout my life. I highly recommend the experience.
This event was not just an opportunity to do The Work, it was a great way to connect with others in The Work.
I found it so insightful to hear other people’s experiences and hear about how the work unfolds for them. I believe those conversations helped me just as much as doing The Work, as it allowed me to reflect.
Both sides of The Work matter and being able to connect with others made that reflection even more powerful and meaningful.
Great event, would recommend to anyone.
As I had never taken part in a retreat before, and didn’t know what to expect, I only blocked off time in my schedule for four sessions. Never again! I have no regrets (I’m avoiding such stressful thoughts!) but I definitely want to give myself the gift of as many sessions as I can stay awake for the next time ’round. Doing inquiry is, of course, always a valuable activity. What I hadn’t anticipated was how wonderful it would be to be in community with the rest of the participants. Before each session as I sat waiting to be let into the Zoom meeting room, I felt a giddy excited anticipation wondering who was going to be there when the room “opened”! What an amazing gift of the pandemic that it made this bringing together of people from all over the world something that is now part of so many people’s lives. I loved having both the group time together and the wonderful luxury of nearly two hours to do spoken work with a fellow inquiry devotee. I particularly loved spending time with other Inquiry Circle members I had never met before.
In addition to all this, I also did some amazing work. Even my less-than-amazing work led to wonderful gems of feedback from Todd. The perfect place to struggle in other words. I am very much looking forward to my next retreat!
The Work works….and this is an amazing (and affordable) safe space to do the work online – with people face to face. Facilitating others is also available inter mixed with the flexible sessions.
Recommended if you are new to the work (because you can ask questions and basically opt in for whatever you want – flexible and easy) or if you are experienced (I met some people who had done the work a fair bit and got to do some 1 on 1 work with them and it was great).
Thank you to Todd, the hosts and the participants.
If you don’t really enjoy doing The Work of Byron Katie (that’s all we will be doing).
If you are too easily distracted at home (you don’t have a quiet place where you can meet morning, afternoon, and evening).
If you are trying to balance too many responsibilities and can’t take enough time off for the retreat days.
If you are too tired (maybe just getting some rest would be more productive).
If you are looking for a teacher or coach. We only facilitate you in The Work, giving you space to find your own wisdom.
We look forward to diving into the amazing world of self-inquiry with you. What makes it amazing is the “discovery of yourself” that happens when you ask these questions and wait for your answers.
The price is $300.
