The Inner Bonding Workshop

Heal the cycle of shame and self-abandonment that leads to anxiety, depression, addiction, aloneness and relationship failure. Discover how to love yourself rather than reject yourself, and learn to make your best decisions through consistent connection with your personal source of spiritual guidance.

The innovative Inner Bonding process shows you how to:

  • Rapidly heal false beliefs about yourself, others and higher spiritual guidance
  • Heal guilt, shame, emptiness and aloneness
  • Move beyond self-judgment into self-compassion
  • Address the resistance that may be keeping you stuck
  • Learn how to heal relationship conflicts and attain the intimacy you've always wanted

This powerful and life-changing process is the result of Dr. Margaret's over 50 years of personal inner work and work with her clients.

Unless you were raised by parents or caregivers who were loving to themselves, each other and to you, you may not have learned how to lovingly manage your painful feelings. As a result, you may be operating from your ego wounded self, controlled by your fears and false beliefs.

Your wounded self may often take over in unloving ways, trampling on your hurts, ignoring them or avoiding them with various addictions and controlling behavior such as: 

  • Addictions to drugs, junk food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work, TV or gaming.
  • Co-dependence - trying to control others with anger, violence, guilt or compliance - making others responsible for your sense of safety and worth.
  • Staying in your head rather than being present in your body
  • Self-judgment, shaming yourself
  • Obsessive thinking, ruminating, worrying
  • Resistance to self, others, spirit - to taking loving care of yourself

These forms of self-abandonment not only perpetuate fears of rejection, abandonment, aloneness, engulfment or failure, but they can contribute to illness. Inner Bonding is a powerful process for healing self-abandonment and learning to love and value yourself.

Through discussions, exercises and direct work with Dr. Margaret Paul or other Inner Bonding Facilitators, you learn the Six powerful Steps of Inner Bonding.

"Transformational Beyond Words!  My heart and soul and true essence overflow with love and gratitude.  I'm so eager and excited to go home and do Inner Bonding, and share this with my husband and son, and most of all MYSELF at any given moment." Kripalu Workshop, Margaret Dean Godhard, Mom, Educator, Gainesville, GA

"It gave me more insight on how to move within myself and remove 'blockages' that hinder me from growing to a full loving adult. Margaret is extremely knowledgeable and able to get that knowledge to us." Kripalu, July, 1999
Rick Havunen

'Eye-opening - incredibly insightful.  I finally feel like I have taken responsibility for loving myself by committing to this weekend.  I truly did not realize how much worth I put on external factors to define my worth.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.12

"A cynic - what is this? Another workshop? The Inner Child - can't be.. and then it was, all my pent up feelings, anger, hostility jumping out at me. And what I learned over two days was to start to listen to my 'gut' feelings. They were there to put me on track but I had discarded these feelings as being silly, not adult-like. What a revelation to me and the start of some work and growth to assimilate the loving Adult and Inner Child." Toronto Workshop, April, 2000

[This testimonial is from a 15 year old boy] "I believe that the workshop provided necessary important information. I enjoyed it and will recommend as many friends as I can to come to one" Toronto Workshop, April, 2000
David Kimball

"This workshop was exactly what I needed.  I trusted my Inner Guidance, which led me here.  Through the workshop I learned that my loneliness is based in the truth that I wasn't heard or loved as a child.  My loving adult now is open to loving my inner child/wounded self.  Although I still desire to be in a loving partnership with a soul mate, I now know I don't need that soul mate to be loved - I truly know now that I am loved by myself and by God." Kripalu Workshop, Lenox, MA, 2009

'This workshop is both practical for learning how to enjoy life everyday as me, & for showing up filled with confidence & the ability to flow in what I do & who I'm interacting with.  I can see & feel how applying Inner Bonding in my life will not only benefit me, but will have a positive loving impact on others.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.15 - Lenox, MA
