“Facilitation” means making something easier or less difficult, helping forward, and/or assisting the progress of a person.
Facilitation is the backbone of The Work of Byron Katie. It allows you to follow the 4 questions and turnarounds to finding your own inner wisdom.
Do I need a facilitator?
You can absolutely facilitate yourself in the Work. All it takes is taking time to ask yourself the questions and getting still to meditate on the answers.
Having me witness and aid your process has numerous benefits.
- While someone is listening to your answers you will start to hear the untruthful edges in your own thinking. This other person just being there acts as your reality check – things that sound good in your mind might not appear that great when checked against reality.
- “Unless you tell me what you are hearing, I cannot be certain of what I am actually saying” – R.Maidment – Having your thoughts mirrored back to you in a suggested turnaround or a question can open your eyes to fresh possibilities and deeper insights.
- Holding the space for you – your facilitator will be the warm and accepting human presence that enfolds your process.
- Support your commitment – it’s much harder to drop your process when you have an appointment scheduled for it.
- An experienced and trusted facilitator can answer your questions and make suggestions for your inquiry when asked to do so.
- An added bonus of sharing your work in this way is connection and community – find new friends and your tribe when sharing facilitation sessions with others.
Facilitation is NOT advice!
Nobody has more wisdom than any other, and the Work is designed to enable you to hear your own wise solutions. During facilitation, I will guide you through your personal worksheet and situation, ask you the questions of the Work, and witness your answers.
You are the teacher you need.
I am unable to tell you what you should be doing in your life because I am living my life, not yours.
A facilitation package or session is a gift to yourself to find your own wisdom.
As Your Facilitator
I will support you in capturing the essence of your challenges.
I will ask the questions of the Work.
I will gently guide you back toward answering the questions when you lose yourself in the intricacies of your story. I might suggest wording for a turnaround.
I might also offer an example for a turnaround out of what you have told me about your situation.
Sharing my own situation might be applicable if you would like to hear it at the time.
I will at all times honor your wisdom to know what is right for you and heed any directions you have for my facilitation of you.

What’s in it for you?
Personal facilitation is for you if you want someone to guide you through your process and witness your insights and growth.
During a typical 90-minute session, you will deepen your self-knowledge considerately. You will capture your mental and emotional state during your challenge.
You will gain experience in investigating your truths, and find joy in exploring alternative solutions to your problems.
After the session, your thinking monkey mind will be quieter, clearer, and more positive. You will find it easier to make confident decisions within your integrity going forward.
You will feel more connected to your environment and its people. You will be able to express your appreciation for yourself and others more fully.
