Smiling African Children

What we do

There are five simple questions that drive all the work we do at Joy, Inc. - for individuals, teams, families, leaders.

They come primarily from a technique called Inquiry, that we learned from the legendary Katie Bryon. The Buddhists call it Looking Deeply.

Whatever the situation, whatever the adversity, whatever the decision, if you look deeply, beyond the appearance and the perception, into what this really is, what it really means, and how you should really respond, you will find your way (through impressions and into the nature of impermanence) into joy. 

At every point, inquiry rests on no more than these five questions?

Stage 1:

What am I really feeling?
What am I really thinking?
What am I really doing? 

Stage 2:
What is the (unarguable) reality?
What will I do next?

Honest, brave answers to these questions are the entry points into Presence, into a shift into consciousness, and into joy.

As people at our retreats and training often discover: freedom is really as simple as answering these questions.

Re.Treat.: A weekend in joy
Re.Treat. is a 3-day and 2-nights residential experience that helps in cutting through the clutter and confusion - especially of very busy, highly accomplished people, or those who are on their way there - and helping you find the peace and clarity to make the decisions on what you have to do, how they need to do them and why. It is a series of practical exercises - mediation, inquiry, listening deeply, journaling - giving you the tools and space to walk through pressure, depression, unhappiness, anxiety, and fear.
Re.Treat. creates the safe space to make important decisions by yourself, guided gently, without judgement, and without pressure.
