Judge Your Children: Realize Yourself Online Class
Monday, Nov. 2-Dec 7, 2020 
(6 weeks)
11am-12:30pm Pacific

Picture
“We’re all five-year-olds. We don’t know how to do this thing 
called life. We’re just learning how.” 
Byron Katie

“Parents should love their children.”
“Children should love their parents.”
“I am responsible for my child’s happiness.”
“Parents should know how to raise their children.”
“Parents know what’s best for their children.”
“Children aren’t supposed to suffer.”
“Children should be grateful.”

Whether you have young children, teenagers, grown children, 
grandchildren, or deceased children it is never too late to go back, 
get still, and find out what really happened or didn’t happen 
in any moment that still brings you stress.

“Until you love your family without condition, 
self love is not possible.”  Byron Katie

Join us as we look again and inquire:
notice our part and find our children’s innocence
in any grievance we have had with our children.

Week 1: Statement number 1 on the Judge Your Neighbor Worksheet and “it means that…”
Week 2: Going deeper when the answer is “yes”
Week 3: “I want…” and living the turnarounds.
Week 4:  “He should… and living turnarounds.
Week 5: “In order for me to be happy, I need…”
Week 6: What do you think of your child and I’m willing to…

“Self-realization is the sweetest thing. It shows us how
we’re fully responsible for ourselves and that is where
we find our freedom.” Byron Katie

There will be one hour of partner homework between sessions. 
All levels of experience with The Work are welcome. It would be very helpful to read Loving What Is by Byron Katie prior to the first class. 

Testimonials
​

"A MUST for any parent who is struggling in any way with parenting." B.C.

"I am LOVING how this class is opening my heart and helping me to stay committed to the Work.
I wish this class could go on forever." J.M.

"... this class is fantastic and amazing...for me this feels like very important and powerful work that you are offering. Thank you so very much for what you do." A.M.

"For me your class was a 10 all the way around. I can't think of what did not work for me. What works for me the most was your compassion, insights and facilitation. 
Since I started on my certification I have yet to meet someone whose facilitation style touched me so deeply." K.C.
​
"Great class today!  We don't want it to end!! It's unanimous!!!" M.M.

​"This class has been invaluable to me and I 
have learned so much.
I will continue to do the Work as we forge ahead 
through this difficult time. Thank you for the guidance, compassion and love you've shown throughout the class."  A.W.

"This class is a way to identify some of the most fearful thoughts about my child/children.  It's a way to look at the attachment to their very life and happiness, and consider the conditions of my love or unconditional love.  It led the way to question it all for mine, and their freedom.  It raised my awareness, compassion, and availability to be with my son, as is, and to consider life and death issues with support and love, with space, time and guidance to sit with it all, to see, to be willing and to consider turnarounds about life and death to immediately apply now, and if my worst fear does happen. 

DEEP AND PROFOUND GRATITUDE..THANK YOU !!!"
J.R.


"The course and your facilitating were profound and it was too much to express my gratitude; I really hope, I  can express them all." C.S.

​"The classes and the homework help me tremendously -- my son H (6) just said "Mom, you're not angry as often as you used to be, since you're taking your lessons!" And he's right." M.E.

"Thank you Joy, for this course. I just apologized to both of my boys (one on one), for calling them "awful kid", and told them about the shame and -- after working on it -- the compassion I feel, and how I've learned from that moment not to judge them or myself, and that next time they can advise me to take a break and sit down because I may just need that. "Or lie down", my eldest replied. "I don't even remember you saying this", the younger one said. And: "Yes, seeing this can make a big difference, right mom?"
Instantly, this embrace of what has happened has brought me all the things I had always been hoping to get from shame. 
What a great lesson to learn. 
With thanks and love,
​M.E.

​
Joy, thank you so much for offering this class. The format of 6 weeks with the working with a peer who is also a student and having you as a facilitator is such a powerful "you are good enough where you're at" platform. It made me accountable for doing my homework not only for me, but for another and I think that piece of needing to show up ready to do the work as a partner exchange was key for me giving me permission to take the quiet reflective time to do it. Because of that push I was able to experience a nice shift with glimpses of how I can help myself to the world of peace and joy if I continue to choose it. I feel very hopeful. I've had the benefit of your voice gently pop into my head asking me "Is that true?" Especially around beliefs that I need to protect my children emotionally and socially......it has been so fun getting out of their business and watching them navigate their own lives, I'm really happy for them and I bet they are loving the autonomy. 
Children should not suffer, is it true? Crazy that my "allowing them to suffer" has been a gift of a lifetime! 
So much gratitude. M.S.

"When we started this course I was fixated on the health of my daughter. I was full of judgments about how she manages her life and about her choices, I was resentful and upset a lot. 
I don't really know what it was exactly that made the difference but this is what happens now. I am looking at her and learning to tell a new story. I don't feel responsible, I am not stressed when I am taking her in. And I am looking at - how everything she does, all her choices, all the changes she has done over the last 6 months - how all of this is an amazing manifestation of a young woman, connected and committed to herself, celebrating the freedom of being 12. 
And it is the same with my other kids. A layer of stress has been lifted. I get in touch with deeper beliefs that cause stress and I am looking at me and not at them for finding peace. 
Thank you for an inspiring 6 weeks of inquiry." Y.T.

A Course In Miracles and The Work of Byron Katie

Picture

Facilitated by Joy Schultz and Lisa Daley

New class starts:
9:30am-11am Pacific 
Wednesday, Sept 11-Oct 16, 2019 
Six Weeks.
NEW Evening Class!
                                         4pm-5:30pm Pacific
                                         Monday, Sept 16-Oct 21, 2019
                                    

"No one can escape from illusions unless he looks at them, 
for not looking is the way they are protected…
And how else can one dispel illusions 
except by looking at them directly, 
without protecting them? 
Do not be afraid, then, to look upon fear, for it cannot be seen."  ACIM 

If you are a new or longtime student of A Course In Miracles and/or The Work of Byron Katie and are feeling stuck, or are just curious and would like to explore how each of these can bring greater awareness, insight and support to your practical application please join us. Each week we will consider an idea from A Course in Miracles and how it shows up in our own life. Possible themes may include defensiveness, giving and receiving, love as extension, reality vs. illusion, fear and guilt. We are open to seeing who shows up and being spontaneous to follow the flow. We’ll use The Work of Byron Katie to look clearly at a specific situation to see exactly how we block the awareness of love. We'll find out for ourselves what life without these blocks looks and feels like, and we’ll get a chance to test it out throughout the week. Participants will continue their investigation with The Work of Byron Katie with a partner for at least an hour each week and on their own.

Let’s clear the way to be able to hear and be free to follow the simple direction. 

“Why wait for Heaven? 
Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. 
The light is in them now. 
Enlightenment is but a recognition, 
not a change at all.” ACIM Lesson 188

Our experience:

Joy found the Work after many years with the Course…
After being A Course in Miracles student for 23 years, The Work of Byron Katie invited me to specifically identify every thought in every stressful situation so that I could look at it and question it. It gave me the tool, the permission and the encouragement I needed to to look closely and specifically at situations in my past that I was still not feeling completely peaceful about—my son’s suicide, and an abortion when I was a teenager. I finally understood how powerful it is "to be honest, not spiritual.” For me The Work of Byron Katie is a booster rocket to the Course. There is no theory—just the actual Work. It gave me the concrete experience of previously abstract concepts in the Course. Joy found The Work in 2009 and became a Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie in 2013. She lead a weekly  Course in Miracles study group from 2005-2012 and occasionally still leads the Sunday morning Gathering at the Rock Mountain Miracles Center in Denver, Colorado.

"Until you see us as innocent, you can’t know your own innocence." ~ Byron Katie

Lisa found the Course after many years with the Work...
Lisa grew up in a Catholic family and at a young age an aversion to anything that sounded religious began to grow. The walls that she put up inside remained standing for years. She gravitated to Eastern philosophies, yoga and discovered The Work of Byron Katie in 2008. After a few years in The Work her heart started to open deeply to words and teachings that used to strike a nerve. When the Course showed up in her world it was like being answered and the long standing barriers she had put up started to come down. Through The Work she could see for herself the truths shared in the Course. They were not abstract or confusing, but easily accessible and understandable. Lisa became a Certified Facilitator of The Work in 2011. For more information about Lisa please visit www.kindmind.ca

Money, Money, Money—Coming Out of the Closet!
Online class

Sunday, May 5-June 9, 2019 (six weeks)
10am-11:30am Pacific


Picture
“If you live with the uninvestigated thought, ‘I need money to be safe and secure,’ you’re living in a hopeless state of mind …In this confused state of mind you can make millions of dollars and still be insecure and unhappy.”  Byron Katie

Bring your stressful thoughts and situations related to money and work, and we will inquire together to find out what is really true for each of us.    

Do you equate money and productivity with your worth and safety?

Do you feel trapped in a job or relationship because of beliefs around money? Does your happiness depend on getting a new job?


Do you terrify yourself with fear about not having enough money in the future..or worry about losing what you have?

Do you identify yourself and others by your income and bank account?
Do you think you or someone else should manage their money better?
Do you think it’s unfair that money isn’t evenly distributed?
Do you wish money was easier to come by?
Do you ever try to fill that sense of “something is missing” by saving or spending money? 
Do you believe you or someone else should save more, spend less, earn more, share more? 

Do you use money to reward yourself, cheer you up, to celebrate, to elevate your status, or to alleviate boredom?

Do feel you don’t deserve something because you didn’t earn it?

Do you feel fear, shame, guilt, or lack around money?

Ironically, whatever we do to survive is the very thing that ultimately keeps the awareness of Life’s support and abundance at some distance from us.
—Bob O’Hearn

This class is for anyone who isn’t wholly peaceful around money and/or work. Please read or review Loving What Is by Byron Katie prior to our first class.

Week 1—We will each write a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet on a stressful situation related to money/work and make a list of it means that … 
Week 2—I want … 
Week 3—He should … 
Week 4—In order to feel happy (and safe) I need … 
Week 5—What do you think of him. I am willing to … I look forward to … 
Week 6—What is “the worst that can happen.”

We will find our own living turnarounds and identify and inquire into underlying beliefs. There will be one hour of partner homework each week and additional suggested inquiry, reading and exercises.

Ending The War on Death  Teleclass
Dates TBA. Please email me if you would like to be notified.
(six weeks)
​


No one knows what death is. Maybe it’s not a something; maybe it’s not even a nothing. It’s the pure unknown, and I love that. We imagine death is a state of being or a state of nothingness, and we frighten ourselves with our own concepts. 
—Byron Katie

Death can take many forms—suicide, SIDS, abortion, death of a child, sickness, car accident, murder, war, old age, loss of vitality…even trophy hunting.  This class is an invitation to find the kindness behind every haunting image.

What is frightening, saddening, angering or disappointing about death? What is death? What is it specifically that makes death bad? What regrets or guilt are you holding on to? What are you missing? What have you lost? What, when, where and how do you want control? What is it death is stealing from you? 

The intention of this class is to be a kind space where those who are suffering from the loss of a loved one, or any kind of lack of peace about any form of death can come to find the kindness our beliefs have been hiding from us.

  • Week 1: I am angry, saddened, disappointed with death
  • Week 2: Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet on someone who died or who you fear dying.
  • Week 3: He died and it means that …What do I think I would have...
  • Week 4: I want …(living turnarounds)
  • Week 5: He should/I need... (living turnarounds), Regrets, Making Amends
  • Week 6: What do I think of them/death? I'm willing to/I look forward to...
There will be 80 minutes of partner homework between sessions. One private session of facilitation is included in the price of this class. All levels of experience with The Work are welcome. It would be very helpful to read Loving What Is by Byron Katie prior to the first class. 

About the Presenter

In 2004, my 17 year old son, Aaron, killed himself. His death has been a deep, steadfast, and compelling Teacher—beginning with the realization that since he is not here, it is impossible that he be the cause of my suffering. 

Testimonials

"I enjoyed such a deep experience in this class.  The content, the facilitations, support and sharings were outstanding. We were held.
This teleclass was most special because of your honesty and softness in sharing your own stories and thoughts.
Because of the additional sharing between classes, from you, and class participants, more inspiration and realizations were possible.  It was personal and bonding.  It was profound.
When questions arose, you answered them in such a way that we could ask ourselves and continue to find our own truths.  It was masterful.
 
I started and ended the first class in fear.  It would have been easier, so I thought, to avoid Death and my feelings.
Then with the exercises, homework, support of all participants, and you holding us with love and additional sharings of poems and video, etc between classes...I could welcome Death.  I welcomed Love.  I welcomed Life. I welcomed Peace.  It was all there.  The Ending was a Beginning."

 J.R

 "This was certainly one of the best classes I attended. All those little exchanges, poems, insights, so deep ... thank you Joy for offering this class and putting so much effort into supporting us. You Rock!"

This is an awesome workshop, Joy really rocks the boat. It is the best teleclass I ever participated in. Do not miss out on this.
M.F.

More Testimonials for Judge Your Children

I’m writing to let you know that I can see why people take this class more than once!  For starters, that many of the readings you shared at the start of class are still resonating in me, deepening.  “Our name is God” is still wending its way in, widening me.  I’m quite moved by the power of The Work and by the Work that happened in our class.  The women who gathered have become so dear to me, even though we’ve never even met!

I’m emerging from the class more connected to The Work, finding myself wanting to do worksheets more often and stay with this continuous opening.  It seems particularly momentous that our class met during the Being with Byron Katie silent retreat.  Joining in that was so powerful, and I appreciate your letting me know about it.

I think that you are aptly named “Joy.”  When I think of you, that’s what arises in my heart.   Your facilitation of Work with me during the class helped me open to an entirely new way of considering food and what healthful eating might be.  I’m living those turnarounds!
J.N.
"Joy Schultz is offering a Work tele-class about Judging your Children starting January 10. I took the last session and can't recommend highly enough... You would have the perfect forum to explore this relationship and maybe find peace and understanding." M.M.

"I took Joy Schultz's class on judging our children.. a real treasure.​" A.M.


"Thank you so very much for the great teleclass!!
I have so valued and enjoyed it, and I give it a 10."
​M.O.


"I feel like I am getting so much out of this class. I'm such a beginner, and I feel the swing of the pendulum from ego to ego. Yes ouch, sometimes. But then just the tiny wisdom that I don't have to believe my thoughts is such a relief. I'm really having fun." M.M.

"Wow! What a great experience that was Joy and everyone who was on it! I feel lighter, more hopeful and happy about a situation that has caused me huge grief."
​

"This class is so powerful Joy. I am struck again and again by the profoundity of the Work, and with gratitude for your role in guiding me further into this magical path less traveled." J.G.

"Judge your Children, Realize your Self could be the most helpful parenting course you ever take! Given that I have been a parenting educator for over 15 years, and have worked with over 135 of the world's top parenting-related experts, that's saying something! I wish I'd been able to take it a decade ago. It would have saved so much suffering, and made me so much more able to love even the times when faced with serious challengs.
​
Joy is a sublime facilitator. I was surprised and delighted to see that she does the Work right along side of us. That adds so much to the class. Her energy and attitude permeate the group and are instrumental in us getting so much more out of doing the Work. The experience of hearing others share their answers to the questions also deepens the inquiry immensely. Thank you sooooo much Joy! You live up to your namesake!" J.G.

​
Just want to say I love being part of this class. Connecting with all of you and being exposed to all of your wisdom and powerful thoughts and writings Joy is truly a gift. And everyone’s else’s wisdom as well. Thank you Joy and all of you. M.B.

About the Presenter
​

On returning home from the New Year’s Mental Cleanse this year, I found my toilets frozen, pipes broken, and as the water thawed it poured out of the light fixtures and covered most of the condo, damaging the walls and floors. Insurance wouldn’t pay because I turned off the heat. $30,000 that I had planned on investing for retirement went to restore the house. It’s given me a wonderful opportunity to look at my beliefs around money, security, and identity. I am experiencing a sense of freedom and gratefulness I wouldn’t have believed possible prior to experiencing The Work. I look forward to exploring this topic more.

More Testimonials For Ending The War on Death

I don't remember exactly the experience I had with you as my facilitator, but there are some things that touched that I still remember.
I remember loving your stillness and the space you gave me to answer the questions.
I loved your examples. I thought they were really deep.
I kept asking you for your examples, and at some point you asked me to sit with it for a while and see if I could come up with some examples of my own. I don't remember if I came up with my own examples, but I remember I liked the way you invited me to do that.

I think this was only the second time I actually did The Work myself. I called the helpline and I got you.

And then when I saw you had that class on Ending the war on death, I signed up knowing that I would love working with you again. Which I did.

So here's my testimonial
