''I experienced so much growth and learning over the 3-Day Intensive. Being supported and being able to give support to others has helped me heal and be able to live a fuller, richer, deeper life. The work done in the Intensive is so amazing and rewarding.' Long Island Advanced Intensive, 12.12
 

'I had never done a spiritual retreat before and was somewhat resistant.  But Margaret creates a loving, safe space for the group that allows everyone to open up.  Even a skeptic like myself.  Margaret provides real insight into childhood wounds and how we carry them around in our current personalities and relationships.  Inner Bonding becomes the answer to everything.  All our hang-ups, false beliefs and issues with control become transparent in one conversation with Margaret  This is one of the most valuable days I have spent in my life for myself and my relationship, and it makes me excited to learn more about my own processing and creating Inner Bonding as a regular practice.' Colorado Intensive, 4.12

"During the Intensive, I was introduced to my core self/inner child in a dream. She is not who I thought she was. I long for her and adore her. She is my treasure. I look forward to taking her hand and teaching her to walk, showing her off with pride, and holding her close. It's life changing." 10.17

"This was 20 years of therapy in 5 days! This is a life changing experience." February 2002 - Lucerne Valley, CA

The Inner Bonding Intensive and Dr. Margaret Paul's wisdom, attention, and love brought out things that would have taken years to uncover in traditional therapy. I am more present, in the intention to learn, and have forged a stronger connection to my higher guidance - all in 5 days! I now more readily acknowledge the many deeply painful feelings that I formerly ignored. I also recognize the varied addictive behaviors I employ to avoid those uncomfortable feelings. Ive uncovered a slew of false beliefs that were causing me grief. Importantly, I've learned that I need to acknowledge my essence (innate talents and gifts) and to insure that I make time for the things I love in my busy life. Best of all, I now have the tools to heal and comfort myself and I own the fact that only I must learn to give myself the attention, approval, acknowledgment, and love that I need. Besides all that....the other participants were kind, supportive, and loving, the retreat compound was breathtakingly beautiful, and the food was delicious, healthy, and plentiful! Hiking in the desert hills, soaking in a hot tub with a view of the mountains, viewing a full sky of constellations (for the first time in many years) were also a special part of my Inner Bonding Intensive journey in Lucerne, CA. I highly recommend the Intensive to anyone seeking a deeper sense of self love and appreciation along with a solid connection to one's spiritual guidance. I will never forget this experience! L.A.

The Ossining Intensive was powerful and incredibly healing. Michael and Nancy made a truly safe - and sacred - place for us in this lovely old farmhouse. They helped us explore the defenses we had created against extremely painful memories, losses and fears from childhood, all with the intent to know and love ourselves more deeply. They are so grounded in this wonderful Innerbonding process -- and it works! Nancy brings her strength and Mother Earth presence and Michael his persistent, gentle spiritual connection: a dynamite combination! The meditations, dancing, hilarious story-making, inner child's play like blowing bubbles, and Notessence collages of our core selves all helped create community and gave us a way to integrate this profound experience. We were empowered and transformed. And we laughed as much as we cried. This was my third intensive and filled with gratitude for the way my life has changed over 15 months. Thank you Nancy and Michael for the gift of seeing ourselves through the eyes of grace. Thank you for the privilege of being with other beautiful souls and sharing a part of their journey. Namaste.
