Questionnaire for Applicants
to the RMA Mystery School and the

Vibrational Healing Program

from Joy:

If you are considering joining us, I'd like to get to know you.

Please understand that many people want to join the Mystery School, but there is limited space and it is not appropriate for everyone. The selection of chelas (spiritual students) is not an intellectual process. There is no clear-cut way to qualify.

The whole RMA Mystery School is conducted by my Guidance, including the selection of students. Sometimes I will sense that an applicant is not a good fit for the Program, but I may recommend private sessions—with me or someone else— or I may offer to take a student privately, perhaps for once-a-month sessions. Or I may refer a potential student to someone else.

Why do I ask so many personal questions? Both the photo and the Questionnaire serve dual purposes. Once the program starts, I will send headshots and contact information to all of the chelas in your group, so that you can contact one another, to arrange to work on each other. Also it’s great to have a photo to attach to a name. We will be doing intense personal work in the Mystery School, and it helps me to have your personal information to refer back to. Please know that whatever you share in this Questionnaire is completely private. It will only be read by me (Joy). I will not share this information with anyone else—except for your contact information and photo, which will be shared only with your group.

If you are a very private person, this program may not be right for you, because we do group work that requires a willingness to be vulnerable and fairly transparent—though confidentiality is absolutely essential, to create a safe space for all of us.

Please cut and paste this Questionnaire in an email to me, Joy Gardner, and complete the questions. Write "Questionnaire" in the Subject Field. I will contact you within about a week to schedule an interview. (Since emails don't always get through, please write or call again if you don't hear from me.) This does not constitute a commitment of any kind. It is just an opportunity for us to get acquainted.

You are not required to answer all the questions. You are always at choice. But if you choose to not answer, I would like to know your reason(s), if you're willing to share that.

Note: People of all sexual persuasions, races and colors are welcome in the program and will certainly not be discriminated against. If there is anything that is a source of discomfort in your life, please know that I am committed to creating an atmosphere of unconditional love and acceptance, and I want you to feel free to write or talk about these issues when the time feels right.  Anyone who attends these workshops is asked to have absolute commitment to preserving confidentiality about any personal information that is shared during the classes. You will be asked to leave your judgments behind. If this is difficult for you to do, that’s okay, as long as you see it as a challenge and are willing to be honest and work on changing your attitude (toward yourself and others).

PLEASE ATTACH A HEADSHOT OF YOURSELF

Why a photo?

Photos are worth a thousand words--epecially if you're psychic! Don't worry - you will not be discriminated against for anything related to your personal appearance.  

Thanks for taking the time to do this,

JOY
