Joy to You & Me Presents a Life Changing Workshop:
A Day Long Intensive Training in Robert Burney’s Spiritual Integration Formula for Inner Healing
“The approach that I discovered in my personal recovery - and developed in my work with others - is the missing integration formula that people in recovery, on a healing / spiritual path, have been seeking for years. We can have lots of intellectual knowledge of what constitutes healthy behavior, and multiple spiritual experiences, but until we can integrate knowing / Knowing into our emotional relationship with self and life it is not possible to fundamentally change our behavior patterns - especially, and most importantly, our behavior patterns in intimate relationships.
There are many teachers, books, etc., these days that will tell you that the goal is to learn to Love your self - but no one really tells you how to do that. That is what the approach to inner healing - that I have been gifted with developing - facilitates. . . . . .
. . . . This work can empower you to not only to find inner peace / stop the war within - to learn to “be” present for your life journey today with the capacity to be happy, Joyous, and free in the moment - but is also the key to healing your fear of intimacy enough to learn how to open up to Love and be healthier in a romantic relationship.” - Joy2MeU Update Newsletter March 2006
“What is so valuable, what I believe is unique, about the approach to inner child healing that I have been guided to develop and refine, is that it provides a formula for integrating Spiritual Truth and intellectual knowledge of healthy behavior into one’s emotional relationship with life.
It does not matter how much Spiritual Truth, how many mystical experiences of oneness, how in tune with Love, you can feel in certain moments - if you cannot integrate it into your life in a way which changes your emotional experience of life on a moment to moment, day to day basis. You can go to therapy for many years, read all the Spiritual and self help books, go to workshops and seminars and lectures - compile encyclopedic intellectual knowledge of what healthy behavior is - and still be reacting to old wounds in the relationships that mean the most to you.
The missing ingredient for so many people who have been seeking for many years, is how to integrate what you know into how you feel about your experience life. That is what I teach people - because it is what I have spent many years learning.” - Co-Creation: Owning your Power to Manifest Love
September 18th, 2022 - Two Intensive Workshops on Zoom in October - and going forward for the foreseeable future.
Joy to You & Me presents an Intensive Training in Robert Burney’s Spiritual Integration Formula for Inner Healing / Codependency Recovery / Inner Child Healing - on Zoom - an empowering and Life Changing experience!
This website - Joy2meu.com - is designed in a program that is obselete (Netscape) - which is why I started a new Mobile Friendly site a couple of years ago - Joy2MeU2.com. I keep an old computer to work on it, because it doesn’t work with any operating system from X on. It is probably not going to work one of these days, as it has been giving me more and more problems. I am putting this notice up here to let you know that very soon I may not be able to update this site, and it will be good to go to Joy2MeU2.com for the latest news. I am in the process of writing an Update Newletter to cover the last 2 1/2 years since my last Update Newsletter - Valentine’s Update-February 2019 - and hope to get it published before the end of November. I will be doing Zoom Workshops for as long as the Pandemic lasts.
June 3, 2011 Announcing: For the first time a recording of Robert Burney’s Spiritual Integration Workshop is available as an mp3 download.
**Special Offer **
** **Special Combination Offer** **
If you would care to read more about the genesis of these Intensives, Robert announced this exciting new training program in his Joy2MeU Update Newsletter of March 2006 (excerpt below.)
****May 25th 2006: **** I have decided to include some special offers for hour long follow up sessions on the telephone for people who attend the Intensive Training Day. The offers below are only for those who have experienced the Intensive. ****
**** **In my August 2006 Update Newsletter, I address the question “What is an Intensive Training Day?” **
“These “Training Days” are workshops in one dictionary sense of the term - i.e. “A seminar or single session for training, discussion, etc., in a specified field” - but they do not involve the attendees being forced to actively participate in some way.
In other words, people attending these “workshops” are not going to be asked to do exercises, or emotional processing - or be put in a position where they feel they are being pressured to take a risk of revealing themselves or being vulnerable. The “work” that is asked of attendees is to be present and actively listen - to be open to hearing that they can own the power to transform their experience of life into an exciting adventure. Attendees have the opportunity to absorb information that will give them a blueprint / formula for learning to access and manifest Love into their relationship with self in a way that helps them to start experiencing Joy and inner peace and freedom from the past. A formula that includes practical, powerful, effective tools and techniques for helping them overcome their fear of intimacy and change their core relationship with self, life and other people.
These “workshops” are interactive in that participants are encouraged to ask questions that will help them clarify and understand the information being presented - but no one is required to say a word. I once observed a one day workshop given by John Bradshaw in which he actually had people break into small groups and do exercises designed to get them in touch with their inner child wounds. There were more than one hundred people in attendance - and he only provided 3 or 4 facilitators to help people get through any emotional breakthroughs that might be triggered by these exercises. I felt that it was irresponsible - verging on unethical - to have people pressured into doing exercises that were designed to get them into an emotionally vulnerable place, without providing an appropriately safe environment and resources to insure that the experience would not be a traumatic one for the participants.
I do not believe that a one day (6 to 8 hour experience) is an appropriate setting to put people in a position to be emotionally vulnerable with no previous work or knowledge of their issues, or appropriate follow up resources available. . . . So, the bottom line is that these Intensive Training Days I am offering, could be described as lectures - except I associate negative connotations with that word. One of the dictionary definitions of lecture is “to rebuke or castigate authoritatively or at length” - and that is definitely not what I am doing in these Training Days. They are lectures in another dictionary sense of “A discourse delivered aloud for instruction or entertainment.” And I believe that though my presentation is designed to be instructional, it is also quite entertaining. What I am really doing in these Intensives is sharing my experience, strength, and hope - sharing with the participants what I have learned, what has worked for me in my recovery. . . . .
. . . . . We have the power to change our relationship with self and life - which changes how we relate to others. That is what this work is all about - becoming empowered to become positive co-creators in our own lives so that we can transform our life adventure into an exciting adventure instead of a pain-filled, fear-driven, heart-breaking, endurance contest. Learning how to be our own best friend instead of always feeling like we are our own worst enemy - feeling like the victim of our own thoughts and feelings. There is a lot of information involved - highly concentrated - because there are multiple levels, facets, and dimensions involved in our relationship with self, life, and everything in life. But once we make a shift in perspective, that information starts falling in place in a logical, rational way - the pieces of the puzzle become more visible because we are viewing the whole experience of life, and our relationship with self, in a larger context.
It is not necessary to learn a whole bunch of new information - we just need to open up our intuitive inner channel to remembering what we already Know on some level. When we stop viewing life from the emotional perspective of a wounded child, from the perspective of the dysfunctional programming our ego adapted to help us survive - then we can get more clearly in touch with our Spiritual Self. And what I teach people is a practical, powerful, effective formula for opening up to remembering, and accessing, intuitive Truth.
“Truth, in my understanding, is not an intellectual concept. I believe that Truth is an emotional-energy, vibrational communication to my consciousness, to my soul/spirit - my being, from my Soul. Truth is an emotion, something that I feel within.
It is that feeling within when someone says, or writes, or sings, something in just the right words so that I suddenly feel a deeper understanding. It is that “AHA” feeling. The feeling of a light bulb going on in my head. That “Oh, I get it!” feeling. The intuitive feeling when something just feels right . . . or wrong. It’s that gut feeling, the feeling in my heart. It is the feeling of something resonating within me. The feeling of remembering something that I had forgotten - but do not remember ever knowing.”
That is why I get so many people writing to me saying they are amazed that I am saying things that they have been thinking. We are accessing the same Source. It has just been my path to painstakingly learn how the internal dynamics of this disease operate, and what works to facilitate recovery from it - because it was necessary for my own recovery. Someone at the last Intensive in LA said something very similar to something I shared in my very first Newsletter for my original web site in 1998.
“I had someone in a workshop say to me one time “Boy, you really know this stuff! You have really studied this, you are kind of like an Olympic athlete or something in this area.” My immediate reaction - as it so often is - was to react out of my disease: “That’s because I was so sick.” But then I caught myself and changed it to wounded.” - Joy to You & Me Newsletter I - July 1 1998
The person in LA said something like, “Boy, I am glad you were so f—ed up so that you really had to learn this stuff to be able to teach it to us.”
The reality is that the 6 hours or so that I talk in this Intensive only allows me time to touch on some of the information that I have to share. In sharing the information, I go off on tangents in which I tell stories from my recovery on how I learned whatever aspect of the process I am talking about at the time. (Each Intensive is a different experience because the group consciousness is different - and the questions asked are different. The tangents I go into can be in regard to romantic relationships, inner child healing, fear of intimacy, setting boundaries, metaphysics, spirituality, grief processing, parenting, etc. - that is part of what I meant when I mentioned the different dimensions, facets, and levels.) The feedback so far, shows that these tangents in which I share my experiences are some of the most valuable information that I am sharing in the Intensives. It is the personal sharing that helps people to really understand the information about the wounding and recovery dynamics I am sharing. As one person in the San Diego Intensive put it: “You can intellectually understand key points by reading his book, but the training allowed me to really internalize it. It’s like the difference between learning how to fly an airplane by reading a book vs. actually getting in the plane. . . . . . . . Your willingness to show up for your own recovery will help you to open up to manifesting more Joy, Love and serenity in your life experience - by helping you to remember Truth and access your True Self, and by giving you the tools to integrate that Knowledge into your relationship with self and life. Attending an Intensive Training Day has the potential of being a life changing transformational experience that could mark a milestone in your journey / a new beginning / a new chapter in your life - one in which your dance through life becomes significantly more of an adventure that includes experiences of Love and Joy, instead of an ordeal defined by fear and pain, guilt, and shame.” - Joy2MeU Update Newsletter August 2006
