Inquire, Discover and Set Yourself Free
A four-part in-person Workshop
Testimonial from the Spring 2022 Group:
“Inquire, Discover, and Set Yourself Free”
is an inspiring adventure. Suzanne creates a safe and supportive
environment in which to explore intuitively and authentically
into the nature of our reality, as it is influenced by our
thoughts. For us, the scope of this inquiry ranged from the
intimate and personal and extended to our broader shared community,
touching on all of the inherent and possible contradictions
that can sometimes co-exist. During this exploration, we each
discovered our capacity to balance perceptions and judgements,
thereby revealing creative and unexpected options in the face
of some of our most daunting and challenging issues. We all
agree, it is ultimately a journey that brings one back to
one’s self! In the process, we emerge empowered to elaborate
and implement more effective strategies to advocate, in kindness,
for ourselves.

Intent: To offer an intimate, supportive
and brave learning environment that enables inquiry, reflection,
laughter and peer learning resulting in a sense of feeling
free and engaged in life.
Frameworks: We will begin with the The
Work by Byron Katie and then superimpose the teachings
of Adyashanti from Falling into Grace and those of Pema Chodron
from the Wisdom of No Escape ending with an Appreciative
Inquiry Model for the visioning and action of part 4.
Approach: All workshops are facilitated and
designed using an experiential learning model that promotes
open dialogue, exchange, practice, observation, and real-life
application. Each session begins with a short, gentle yoga
practice.

have a maximum of three participants. The total cost for all
four parts is $400 or $500 per person, includes a warm vegan

Brief Description of each session:
Part 1: Introduction and practicing The Work –
Inquiry. Through the use of examples by the author and facilitator
we will develop a sense of how The Work is done and learn
how to apply the questions and approaches for inquiry which
lead to discovery.
Part 2: Practicing The Work – Discovery. An
in-depth exploration of The Work and developing a felt-sense
of the relationship between emotions and thoughts and between
story and reality.
Part 3: Practicing The Work – Discovery continued.
Part 4: Set Yourself Free – a different take
on reality. The workshop culminates here using an Appreciative
Inquiry Model which takes Discovery as the starting point
and leads into Dreaming, Designing and Delivering (Manifesting
your dreams).
