Other Programs at the Centre

In addition to our own program offerings, each year the Salt Spring Centre hosts a series of programs and retreats run by special guest hosts.

April 13-15, 2012: Being Peace
A Weekend Retreat in The Work of Byron Katie

“A teacher of fear can’t bring peace on Earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You’re the one.” – Byron Katie

Caitlin Frost and Kim Howden invite beginners and experienced practitioners to join them for a weekend in the transformational inquiry process of The Work. Using this simple and powerful tool, learn to work with your own stressful thinking and limiting beliefs to open space in your life and work, and to experience more possibility, peace and happiness. Using the four simple questions and turnarounds of The Work, meet your confused thinking, fears and limiting beliefs with understanding, and allow your mind to return to its true, awakened, peaceful, creative nature.
