"I gained a great sense of clarity from the Inner Bonding workshop. I was struggling with questions that therapy just couldn't answer for me. Through the help of the group experience and Margaret's great gift of being able to pinpoint the exact issues, I gained a great awareness of what was going on in my life and my relationships. Also, I learned the Inner Bonding process which has given me the tools to deal with my issues, connect with my Inner Guidance(God), and know and love myself better. I have learned that I am responsible for my own love and happiness and how to best give that to myself by connecting with my Inner Child and God. Thank you to Margaret and the group!!!"

The most outstanding moment for me in the intensive was when I saw [a member of the intensive] as a one and a half year old, isolated from family and all that was familiar, faced with the decision of whether to live or die. And she chose life. As I understood the majesty of her decision, deep respect for her poured into me and filled me to overflowing. I was awed and honored to be in her presence. I had similar moments with many of the others in the group. I believe that it is from that position of deep respect for a person that I can actually be a conductor of love and light from God to his child. I want to do that. Today is Sunday, our Sabbath. We are fasting today, and I was reading in Isaiah: Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thy own flesh?... And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. ...and thou shalt be called , The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.' (Isaiah 58:6-7, 10-12 King James Version) So, Margie, that is my name for you : Margie -The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. I think it is a beautiful name that fits you well. I love the new path that I dwell in. There is more light here. Thank you for the true reflection of who I am. I remember the look on your face when you told me about meeting me for the first time. It has been a great source of peace and comfort to me. Thank you."

'For me the Intensive has absolutely sealed that the Inner Bonding process always works as long as you do it and live it every moment - and you always have a choice!  What I liked most about the Intensive was learning from the stories, experiences and sessions of the group.  I also thought the format of working on the floor was very grounding and really helped me to access my emotions and Inner Child. I would absolutely recommend the Intensive.  It has been one of the most profound experiences of my life and I know I will draw on my learning here for the rest of my life.  Margaret, thank you for changing my life.  I am looking forward to the next chapter now that I feel so connected and committed to my daily practice.'

"This workshop has been an enlightening experience for me. Inner Bonding has taught me to be compassionate with myself and the people who are important to me. I am grateful for the learning and for sharing my experience with a very special group of individuals." Santa Fe Intensive, 10/06

"There are no words to describe the power of the intensive workshop experience. To me, it made the difference between understanding the process intellectually and experiencing the transformation. I personally made a breakthough in recognizing my resistance to taking responsibility for my own feelings. I learned that sacrificing myself, and making others more important than myself, is actually a selfish controlling behavior, because I am trying to control how others perceive me. And what I thought of as selfish behavior, if I truly listen to my spiritual guidance, is actually letting myself soar in order to reach the potential of what I was put on this planet for. Wow, thank you Margaret.

"Doing this work as a group is so incredibly powerful, We experienced learning by becoming vulnerable in a safe and loving environment. Zoom was great. We connected and learned from each other. The time flew and we all felt it was hard to end the shared time together. "

The Inner Bonding Intensive was very helpful. I was able to tackle a couple of my current issues - mostly my need to control other people's actions. This keeps coming up for me in different forms and this one let me deal with my control issues around my relationship with my significant other and trace it back to my very young days. I also dealt with my need to be needed, as expressed in a willingness to take on too many volunteer activities which are cutting into my time to enjoy my personal relationships, especially to enjoy my new grandson! My significant other was at this intensive, his first experience of Inner Bonding, so it was great that we could discuss our relationship issues and understand where each other's issues were coming from. I have attended many activities with Margaret and continue to marvel at her caring, stamina and general personal "togetherness". Colorado Intensive, 8/07
