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.
