“I think, therefore I am.” René Descartes’ famous assertion reminds us that our identity is deeply connected to our thinking. But what if our thinking is stressful, limiting, or simply untrue?
How to Question Your Thinking is a four-week beginner-friendly course designed to gently guide you away from painful rumination and into the mind opening curiosity of self-inquiry using a method called The Work of Byron Katie. Through a mix of teaching, practice, and dialogue, you’ll learn to identify and examine the thoughts that shape your experience of life—and begin to experience the solutions to life’s problems that comes when you question them.
Each week, we’ll explore one aspect of the self inquiry process.
Week 1, you’ll learn how to identify stressful beliefs that cause suffering.
Week 2, we’ll slow down to understand the depths behind the simple but radical question: “Is it true?”
Week 3 focuses on uncovering what arises in the deeper reflections of life with and without your stressful thoughts.
Week 4 introduces the transformative power of something called a turnaround.
Each 90 minute class includes a 30-minute lesson with discussion, a 40-minute guided inquiry, and a 20-minute Q&A following the inquiry to support your understanding.
Whether you’re brand new to The Work of Byron Katie or returning with beginner’s mind, this course is an opportunity to practice in a small, supportive setting. The course is $30 per session or $100 for all four.
For a limited time, I am also offering the option to do the course for free in return for being recorded and the agreement that I can share our recorded time together with others.
We set the date and time together when you email me at [email protected].

“I’d used The Work by Byron Katie on my own many times on one particular person but I still got tense around them which made life repeatedly stressful. On a call with Sarah, I revisited a situation involving them. Sarah’s way of leading me to describe what I’d experienced helped me see, little by little, how a hurt part of me had turned a simple disagreement into a full-on melodrama with them as villain and me as victim. First I cried and then I laughed! I could see so clearly that this was a subjective interpretation, not the objective truth. It has been a massive relief to let go of this story and see us both with compassion. That one session has removed all the tension from our relationship.” – Trish Snyder, Toronto
