The Art of Being Human Bewertungen 52

I went to the retreat for the setting, for a retreat, and to do the work of Byron Katie.
I’ll attend again because the retreat went beyond my expectations, to include learning experiences and techniques in radical honesty/nonviolent communication, and more .… new ideas and skills that up level my ability to communicate honestly today.

Great experience. I recommend it.

Ernest's kindness, laser focus, and wisdom are a powerful combination. Working with him is a rare privilege. I highly recommend it!

Amazing session, I recommend it 100%

Working with Ernest was truly transformative. Even though my issue was something I thought I already understood quite well, I still felt stuck — and he helped me move again. He has an exceptionally precise and gentle way of listening and observing, which immediately creates also a sense of trust and safety.

During our session, there was a subtle shift, actually I really had to laugh, and since then I’ve noticed more and more pieces of the puzzle quietly falling into place. Even now, some time later, the effects are still unfolding. I’m deeply grateful for his support.

Ernest a cette faculté d'écoute et d'analyse qui donne une réelle plus value à toutes les personnes intéressées par la méthode d'investigation des pensées de Byron Katie.

I’ve known Ernest’s work for a few years now, and with each year I become more interested in being guided by him in my own exploration — to go deeper during one of his retreats. And now he has even built an online infrastructure, allowing us to learn even more about his unique and valuable approach on our journey.

He supports you in your self-inquiry as well as in developing your own strengths in guiding others. Ernest has truly found his own way — his own art of facilitation.

This speaks to me deeply, as his approach is always calm and marked by an unwavering willingness to get to the root of the problem. Simply fantastic.

With Ernest you get what you see: curious, authentic, honest, kind, genuine and connected. I think that is not only being human but also being professional. He is comfortable in flowing with your inquiry, in allowing sessions to develop as they need to, in making you be at the center of the situation so you can focus completely on your thoughts. His course is more structured and at the same time it is not losing any of the above qualities. I learned a lot about how to facilitate and it has been a very interesting journey.

Ernest er inspirerende, reflekterende og meget nærværende, hvilket gør det nemt at omsætte svære emner/situationer til noget forståeligt og brugbart. Sessionerne med Ernest har udvidet mine perspektiver og motivation, samt givet mig værdifulde redskaber, både fagligt og personligt.

I had the opportunity to participate in the Facilitator Training Course from The Art of Being Human, and: no regrets.

Ernest shone a bright but soft and caring light on how meaningful and effective facilitation can be when it’s done from a place of connection, trust and vulnerability.

I came away from this course with far more confidence in myself as a facilitator of The Work, and a new level of excitement to share it with the world.

Truly grateful.

Tryghed, klarhed og reel forandring

Jeg har haft flere 1:1-sessioner med Ernest, og hver gang er jeg blevet mødt med en ro og tilstedeværelse, som er helt særlig. Han formår at skabe et rum, hvor jeg føler mig både tryg og set, samtidig med at han stille og præcist hjælper mig ind til kernen af det, der virkelig er på spil.

Ernest kombinerer en sjælden klarhed med en stor menneskelighed—han er ikke bare teknisk dygtig. Det er tydeligt, at han har lang erfaring, og alligevel føles det aldrig som et “program” – det er en ægte, åben samtale, hvor mine egne indsigter får lov at vokse frem.

Det arbejde, vi har lavet sammen, har givet mig dybere forståelse, lettelse og nogle helt konkrete skift i mit liv—både i forhold til gamle mønstre og i mit forhold til mig selv. Jeg kan kun varmt anbefale en session med Ernest til alle, der ønsker at gå dybt og virkelig møde sig selv med nysgerrighed og ærlighed.

Den for mig mest givende personlige udvikling både personligt og professionelt. Har fået hjælp til at se hvor min bane slutter, og hvor jeg reelt har indflydelse. Ernest har meget fin fornemmelse for at guide mig på den rette vej, på en respektfuld og omsorgsfuld måde. Livet er blevet nemmere.

The Work found me in 2018, and over time, facilitation became a familiar practice—something I moved through without always noticing how. I joined this course to reconnect.
Ernest holds the course with clarity and steadiness. He doesn’t direct or teach in the traditional sense—he makes space. His feedback is grounded, making it easier to notice what was actually happening in my facilitation.
Even in a non-fixing practice like The Work, facilitation can drift. It’s not about striving for perfection, but about noticing: Where am I no longer in service of inquiry? That noticing is part of The Work.
Wanting approval, steering the client, escaping discomfort, or subtly avoiding the questions—these are all human. They’re also places where facilitation can shift into something else: coaching, helping, performing, seeking.
Facilitation is awareness of the source—not through control or technique, but by returning to presence, to the form, and to the stillness that doesn’t need anything from the process. A voice holding vigil with "Is it true?".
The course’s structure—live sessions and smaller pods—offered a rhythm to stay engaged without pressure. Facilitating regularly and receiving feedback created space to slow down, see more clearly, and return to the questions.
Many longtime practitioners would say: The Work is the end of seeking.
Not because it gives answers—but because it gently questions the one who’s looking for them.
I’m grateful to Ernest for holding a safe space for self-inquiry, and to my fellow practitioners for the gifts of their feedback.

I have been participating in Ernest’s retreats as well as 1:1 facilitations and it has always been an amazing experience. He is a true master of the Work and guides your self-inquiry in the most effective and loving way. Can truly recommend!

I have now attended 2 of the on line facilitator training courses with offered by Earnest. Both of these were amazing learning experiences for me. The sessions are intimate allowing a lot of time practicing what you need to learn. Earnest is very knowledgeable, personable, compassionate and professional. He has the skills to put the learner at ease and make learning simplified and grounded.

Ernest is one of the very few coaches my critical mind fully trusts and respects.

The Group Workshop went far beyond "The Work," offering countless transformative experiences that left a lasting impact.

Throughout it all, Ernest never took sides or passed judgment—he simply guided us in understanding ourselves and others on a deeper level.

It’s something that truly needs to be experienced to be fully understood. I’m not someone who cries often, but I found myself moved to tears several times during his workshop, gaining profound insights about myself and others.

Ernest is a kick-ass facilitator. Heart and head go hand in hand. Got small or really big stuff to sort out? Go to Ernest, he will pull out all his skills and tricks to help you deal with whatever your challenge is rooted in. You can’t go wrong here - time to let go and move on- check in with Ernest. Being both a coach and client myself, I feel I can safely say he will work excellently both for those who have never worked with a facilitator and those with previous or advanced experience. I warmly recommend him.

Forløbet har givet værdifulde indsigter og skabt fokus på og forståelse af sammenhænge i reaktionsmønstre i såvel privat- og arbejdsliv. Det har synliggjort mønstre at være opmærksom på og givet værktøjer til arbejde aktivt hermed og med en anden bevidsthed herom. Samlet set har det været en udvidende og udviklende proces.

In our session Ernest showed me clearly with which thoughts I had created this unpleasant situation for myself and thus I could see my way out of it.

Sætter tingene i perspektiv og udfordre og guider på en fantastisk givende facon. Varm anbefaling herfra.
