The best-selling author and teacher Byron Katie will lead leading a workshop Saturday based on \u201cThe Work,\u201d a process of self-inquiry popularized in her 2002 book \u201cLoving What Is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katie\u2019s event is part of the Aspen Retreat, a four-day interactive wellness experience hosted by the locally based nonprofit Lead With Love. Events begin Thursday and include guided hikes, yoga and \u201cforest bathing.\u201d Special guests also include Rod Stryker, a renowned yoga and meditation teacher.<\/p>\n

The only pre-requisite for the full-day workshop, Katie said, is an open mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who come to the event with closed minds won\u2019t get a lot from it,\u201d she said this week via email. \u201cBut people who come to it with open minds will leave the event with a powerful way to deal with any upset \u2014 anything from a minor annoyance to a profound grief.\u201d<\/p>\n

The method of \u201cThe Work\u201d focuses on four questions and an inventory process aimed at freeing people from suffering.<\/p>\n

Devoting a day to it, Katie said, can produce lifetime results.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have heard from many people that a one-day workshop changed their lives,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Lead With Love founder Gina Murdock, wrote a recent blog post about how working with Katie healed her relationship with her husband, the venture capitalist and philanthropist Jerry Murdock.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so grateful for enlightened teachers like Byron Katie who help lovingly guide the way out of the prisons we create for ourselves,\u201d Murdock wrote.<\/p>\n

Katie is among the most prominent public figures in the increasingly mainstream wellness and \u201cmindfulness\u201d movement. Asked about the movement\u2019s growth, concurrent with widening cultural divisions in the U.S., Katie said: \u201cI don\u2019t offer explanations. I offer a way to free your mind by questioning the thoughts that cause all stress and suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cThis is the only role I play or want to play: to make as many people as possible aware that there is a way out of all their problems, that this way is simple and powerful, and that all it takes is a pen, paper and an open mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
