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

"This was so wonderful. Information and handouts were easy to understand and presented so clearly. Wonderful experience all around. Excellent and helpful. Very clear and easy to follow." Art of Living Workshop, Boone, NC, 4.18


Amy Quigley

'I learned the difference between my wounded self & my inner child, the difference between answers, & learning by doing the work, & direct knowing.  The difference between taking, giving & sharing love, the intention behind my actions to gain control to get love, avoid pain & feel safe.  I know I have a lot to do, but as Margaret said it is never too late.'  Weekend Workshop - Anaheim Hills, CA 3.14


Cathy Waechter

'Full of insights, practical examples, interaction with others.  I have known of Inner Bonding for 2 years and was eager to meet Margaret & get a better understand of the IB process. I am very glad I did.  I met wonderful participants, developed new relationships - first & foremost with myself.  Got clarity on some of my false beliefs.  Thanks for your availability & for your stunning modeling of being a Loving Adult.  Priceless to see this in action.'  Weekend Workshop - Kripalu - Lenox, MA 9.14


Betsy Cashen

"I am very grateful because I was able to accept my inner child, whereas in the past I hated her and hated myself. Now that I love and embrace her, I feel I can finally love and embrace myself. I feel whole, powerful, and in control. I recognize myself for the first time since my sister died. I didn't expect this to be so moving, but it was. [Margie was] excellent! I was very happy that she shared personal experiences. I feel that her honesty created an atmosphere of openness. I also realize that I am not the only one that feels confused sometimes. Just because Margie helped create the process doesn't mean that she's mastered life. She still works on Inner Bonding." Rowe, MA Workshop, April, 2000
Angela Parker

'Being here has been very Self-affirming.  I feel as though I have taken action on what it means to love myself by being here. I am saying to my Inner Child - you matter, you're important, I love you and I am committed to taking care of you.  I feel more responsible for myself and my feelings.  I feel more capable of standing up for myself, and I feel empowered to let go of my addiction to approval from others.' Los Angeles Workshop, 1/09
Christy Walsh

"Wow! I got in touch with my inner child! It's me she's been angry, resentful, sad, joyful about - not the rest of the world. I have abandoned her, ignored her, paid no good attention to her - now I know where my efforts need to be directed - it's scary and enormously hopeful." Kripalu Workshop - Lenox, MA - 5/2001
