Prescription For Happiness

The Work of Byron Katie
as Facilitated by
Katie's daughter Roxann.
The Work is a simple yet powerful process of inquiry that teaches you to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering in the world.
The wants, needs, and shoulds are your prescription for happiness. The Work is the medicine. Take it as needed.- Byron Katie
This event will go beyond what you think you know about the Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet. Let's follow the simple directions and answer some powerful questions together.- Roxann.
Schedule:
Friday May 11th 7-9
Saturday 9am-12:30 and 2pm-5pm
Sunday 9am-12:30 and 2pm-4pm
