Welcome to The Art of Being Human

My name is Ernest Holm Svendsen and I am a Certified Facilitator for The Work of Byron Katie. I create podcasts and videos about self-inquiry, share resources and materials, and offer 1:1 sessions, workshops, retreats, and online courses on self-inquiry and The Work of Byron Katie.

Here are some of my offerings.
Free Online Training Course in The Work 
I've created a free and complete step-by-step video training course for anyone who is interested in learning how to do self-inquiry using The Work of Byron Katie.
Podcasts on The Work of Byron Katie
The podcasts on The Work go through every aspect of the process. From the four initial episodes on "Why The Work Works" through the practice itself in the "How to do The Work" episodes and into real life examples of facilitation sessions in the "People Doing The Work" episodes.
One-on-one Sessions
I facilitate clients through The Work in private one-on-one sessions online via Skype or Zoom. Most people are surprised to discover how easy and effortless it is to Work online.
Online Courses and Retreats
I offer a selection of online courses, events, and in-person retreats if you want to go deeper on your journey with self-inquiry. See my list of planned events, read more and sign up here.

I offer a newsletter where I share unique offers, insights, links and inspiration. Get exclusive access to my best materials and be the first to know when new videos, podcasts or online events become available. Needless to say, you can opt out at any time, I only share material that is relevant and I will never send you spam.
