An invitation to inquire.

In this weekend you will experience a simple, yet very powerful way of freeing the mind of the mental stories we carry. Believing these thoughts and stories causes our suffering. Often without realising, we live a life of being the victim of our thinking. Questioning our stressful thoughts frees us from them. The Work works!

You will go home with an understanding of how to use The Work for yourself. People who use The Work often experience a shift from fear, confusion, resentment and frustration, to joy, peace, clarity, and freedom. Both beginners and those experienced in The Work are welcome.

Valli and Gramya are both Facilitators who have used The Work as a tool for their own freedom and peace for the last 25 years. They love The Work because it works.

The weekend was well organised, the seaside venue stunning, the food healthy & delicious, and the people welcoming and friendly. But it's what came after that threw me! I gained so much CLARITY and LIGHTNESS around issues that had been frustrations, confusions and sadnesses for years. I've experienced so many old triggers this week and have felt the JOY and FREEDOM that comes from approaching these with my new strategies and understandings, learnt from The Work. Deeply grateful. I had no idea that so much could change from just a few days. Thank you, thank you, thank you xx 

Over the last 16 years Valli and Gramya of Question your Mind have done The Work with hundreds of people from all over the world on numerous issues such as relationships, trauma, illness, rape, death, fears, addictions, phobias, suicide, loss, to name a few. It's a gift for us to experience people's lives shift from torment to peace. Watching painful stories and traumas drop away. And watch people reconnecting with a place inside them that is truer, clearer and kinder.

 Here is some heartfelt feedback we have received from people who have done The Work with us.

"The shift for me simply is too profound not to share this.  I’m really quite serious when I say 3 hours of doing The Work, has moved some serious core long standing issues for me that I have spent over 20 years in counselling, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, psychiatry and more. The only thing I had to loose doing this was the nightmares created in my head. 3 hours for me, not 20 years…. Unbelievable" -  Participant Wellington June
My experience of The Work, as facilitated by the two of you was profound. Because of your help I have been able to create the mother of all shifts within myself. - 
I never thought that happiness would be possible for me.  Since I have stepped into The Work, the victim identity has let go of me and I am experiencing a miracle in the most ordinary of events in my life.
