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.

"Once more I have appreciated this Intensive and learned quite a lot during these 5 days. I think it is important for me to often ask my Guidance: “What is for my greatest good at this moment” and “How I can best take care of myself now” in order to keep my openness to my Guidance and remain in an intention to learn. This will help me come down from my head and stay connected with my feelings. It is also important for me to embrace the painful feeling(s) when they are there and be aware of the great efforts my wounded self does in order to avoid pain."

'The Intensive was moving, thought provoking, emotionally stirring, intense, intense emotionally, eye opening.' Colorado Intensive, 4.12

"To say that this was a transformational experience does not begin to describe what occurred. I came to the intensive from a very wounded place and in this loving and nurturing environment, I began to love me and without labor wrote the following: I caught of glimpse of myself in the mirror and then I really looked. I saw me. I really saw me. I am beautiful. I was able to see what others see. My eyes sparkle like magic, my smile has the warmth of a very dear friend. At this very moment, I fully love me! The war is over and I am no longer alone. I did not need to envision myself as the wounded little girl to feel love and compassion. I felt love purely for my essence. Just me. No strings attached, no if only's, no judgements. How incredibly beautiful." Lucerne Valley, CA, June, 2000

"The Inner Bonding experience was life-changing for me. I have practiced Inner Bonding and inner child work to little avail for many years. In the Intensive, I learned to understand these concepts experientially in a way that I can incorporate into my life. I feel a new deep sense of hopefulness moving forward." Advanced Intensive, 11.17

[Of greatest value to me was] the loving atmosphere where there was no blame or shame and I was safe to explore myself. Leaving here to continue my life's journey with the tools necessary to be loving to myself was a gift that will always be with me.
