Certification Coursework

With enrollment as an ITW member, you will have the opportunity to become a candidate in the only authorized worldwide Certification Program for The Work of Byron Katie.

This Certification Program was designed to support us in learning how to end suffering within ourselves by embodying inquiry in our own lives. It is our purpose to serve ourselves as we begin to live our turnarounds.

If your heart's desire is to deepen your practice of The Work, join us.
