Four years ago, I read a book called "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie and learned about a process called The Work, which became a catalyst for my homecoming journey. This process gifted me with what I call "the poetry of truth"—so deeply meaningful, liberating, and full of joy. As part of that process, I met an incredible woman, Evie, today’s guest! Evie sat with me for many hours, doing The Work and holding the space to awaken to the truth beneath stories, beyond fear and fantasy...
I am deeply excited to share our story, her story and the gifts of The work with all of you today!
The Soft Rebellion is she who knows (and practices!) the power of inquiry and meets what she is yearning for - divine intelligence and unconditional love.
Evie Karen Gibbens is a certified facilitator and trainer of The Work of Byron Katie and a kundalini yoga teacher. With a deep passion for inquiry, she guides individuals through self-inquiry processes to uncover clarity, peace, and radical innocence. Her work integrates influences from A Course in Miracles, A Course of Love, Nonviolent Communication, and other transformational teachings. She offers courses and workshops, including Radical Innocence and Working With Feedback, to help people meet life’s challenges with openness and self-compassion.
In this episode we talked about:
- Evie’s story and how she discovered The Work. Evie shares how this process has changed her life, as she learns to love what is, being invited to see through veils of illusion and tapping into inner wisdom beyond stories and fears—a deeply transformative journey of remembering the wholeness she has always been.
- We explored why and how The Work gives us the tools to open our minds and set ourselves free—a process of liberation, meeting the freedom to love.
- Evie explained the steps of this simple, yet deeply profound process, which is accessible to all of us, always. The Work is a meditative process, designed to identify and question what you think. It’s a way of getting intimate with your own thoughts.
- We did The Work! In order for you to see (and feel!) how doing the work looks, Evie guided me through the process of inquiry with a stressful thought I experienced recently.
Enjoy!
