Reading about other's experience at Intensives can help you to decide if this is something you want to do. It can also help to allay any fears you might have about attending an Intensive. While most people are nervous when they first come, by the 2nd or 3rd day they are having a wonderful time and wishing it would go on longer!
"The most valuable part of the Intensive for me was being able not only to identify my pain but to be able through this process to actually HEAL!! There was finally resolution, which I have rarely experienced in all the years previously. I have never felt such joy and hope for a Spirit-filled life!" Durango, CO Intensive, 4/08

"My experience at the 5-Day Intensive was a life-giving/life-changing experience for me as a Survior, now a Thriver of brutal abuse and gang rape, bringing a child into my life and thrusting me into parenthood. The work I allowed my courageous self to engage in included Anger Processing and releasing the evil false belief and spirits I carried for years, releasing the pent up outrage at all the abusers, and rapists. Some grief/sorrow work, talking to my deceased Father and Sister. Opportunity to share the life-giving/life-changing experiences with a loving, supportive, caring, genuine group of others. Awesome experience. Durango, CO Intensive 4/08

"In an extremely warm way, it is amazing how quickly Margaret identifies what issues and patterns we need to move out of and acknowledge in ourselves. But the true gift which traditional therapy seems to lack, is the solution of self-care and empowerment, that the 6-step process provides - allowing you to move and grow beyond any stuck places you encounter now or in the future."

"This was a great learning experience. If you want to learn more about how to heal that lonely feeling inside that seems to be there no matter what you do or who you are with, then come along for an Intensive." Durango, CO Intensive, 4/08
"I found the Intensive really useful. It was an uplifting experience to hear that many people have issues that need to be worked on. Many of my own reflections were re-affirmed through the process of one to ones and hearing others. The environment was very welcoming and the Sophia retreat centre was very comfortable. Also, to meet such a lovely group of people was very uplifting." Durango, CO Intensive, 4/08

"I have had many different types of therapy and self-help experiences throughout my life since age 16. Inner Bonding not only integrates the best parts of therapies that may be beneficial, but weeds out the parts that have not proven to be helpful. I have healed and grown more in one week using the Inner Bonding process than I have with any other therapy, self-help book or spiritual path. I understand myself now and know what I need to stay connected to myself and God to be successful & truly happy." Durango, CO Intensive, 4/08

"I learned that my thoughts and all of my creations are my responsibility. By taking that responsibility, I can change them, if I really want to. The tools and information received are beyond educational and informative. The skills learned are a new way of being and acting in life. I feel like I lost 30 lbs. of emotional baggage. I will engage with my soul more often to heal my wounded child and my wounded adult. The best vacation I ever had!" Durango, CO Intensive, 4/08

"When I came to the Intensive I came as a wounded little girl. As I leave today I leave with a greater insight, perspective and acceptance for my wounded self, love for my little girl and excitement about the doors I am opening for myself. The tools and techniques I've learned have already had a profound impact. I know as I practice and exercise these tools, my joy and love will grow with me." Durango, CO Intensive, 4/08

"Words fail in describing the sheer brilliance of the Inner Bonding process. I have been in intensive therapy, 12-step and other self-help studies consistently for over a decade, and Inner Bonding has provided a key to unlocking true healing. The Intensive was fun, challenging, intense, freeing and eye opening. Five days is the perfect amount of time to take a journey from the bondage of self to self love and freedom. I've made connections to the other participants that I hope will last a lifetime." Santa Barbara, CA Intensive, 2/08

"The Intensive is a deep immersion in Relationship of the self to the Self. It is an open invitation to learn to truly love oneself and heal the essential Relationship from which all other Relationships are patterned. The opportunity to do this work is phenomenal - the opportunity to do it in a community of like-minded, non-judgmental, openhearted friends is a rare & precious gift. The Intensive is indeed the most loving gift one can ever give oneself." Santa Barbara, CA Intensive, 2/08

"As my 2nd Intensive, this was an even more profound and wonderful experience. The safety and authenticity that are created in this group allowed me (& others) to go deep into feelings, emotions, insecurities & false beliefs. Everything was well thought out in the Intensive - focusing on always being open & in the truth constantly. The amazing process of learning to work with, heal & evolve completely within oneself is a brilliant & revolutionary method - completely unique." Santa Barbara, CA Intensive, 2/08

"To me, Inner Bonding is the action-oriented psychotherapy process that can be self-administered. Attending the Intensive workshop provides the foundation for discovering the path to freedom." Durango Intensive, 10/07
David P. Best,Industrialist San Francisco,California
"The Inner Bonding Intensive has been the most profound gift, and the best part is that I have come to the understanding through this Intensive that the most valuable gifts we receive are the ones we give ourselves. To deeply nurture and validate what our inner child is saying is our access to feeling whole again, just as we were in the womb. I am excited about the journey back to myself that I have now embarked on." Santa Barbara Intensive, 2/08

"Inner Bonding is an empowering process that allowed me to journey into my emotional underground in a very safe and supporting way. It provided me with the motivation and necessary insight for positive change and growth. It has strengthened my sense of self and will undoubtedly benefit me for the rest of my life. It is certainly recommended to anyone who has the willingness and desire to want to improve in every area of their life. Inner Bonding has been the missing piece that has now given me an effective way to resolve problems quickly with confidence, clarity and conviction. I am grateful for this new resource of self care and awareness." Santa Barbara Intensive, 2/08

"This was an amazing experience to learn how very much my Inner Child needs ME to be here for her and love her. The most wonderful insight was knowing I can love my little girl and take care of her needs first, yet still be the giving person to others I was meant to be. Thank you so much Margaret and Sharon for helping me to see the beauty I have inside."

"This was my first Intensive with my partner and it was incredibly powerful - we each worked on issues about our own work & personal issues, and saw how we try to control each other in different areas. The understanding I got is going to transform my relationship with him - I can already feel the increased aliveness, curiosity and openness." Advanced Intensive, NY, 11/07

"I first attended a weekend Workshop (2 days) which gave me a great overview and encouraged me to attend the next Intensive. I've done my share of therapy but this Inner Bonding Intensive (5-day) has given me an amazing connectedness to myself and the tools to continue my process of growth and self-improvement. The gentleness in helping me become aware of areas of work for me - allowing me to accept the input - I felt acceptance and safety and a sense of belonging that I've never felt before in my life. I've grown a true and authentic sense of self-worth. The friends I made will be lifelong. I've received the gift of a new family made up of those friends. The Inner Bonding steps are the light at the end of the tunnel. The light is forgiveness and hope and love - and my antidote to loneliness and emptiness." Santa Barbara Intensive, 1/07

"I traveled from Belgium to California to attend the Intensive, and am very happy I did. I was looking for a more open and trusting relationship with myself and others. The Inner Bonding process has helped me tremendously to resolve inner and outer conflict in a nurturing way. I found it also very empowering as a practice I can carry on myself after the Intensive. And most of all, it has also opened for me a clear path to an even more joyful life. I am very excited at this new energy I'll be bringing home."

"It's been several years that I've been working with Margaret & several Intensives I've attended too; and each time I have learned to go deeper into the Inner Bonding process. It is for me like peeling out different levels of my resistance and moving more & more into the intention to learn. This time I've learned more about my intention to control and my desire to change it." Advanced Intensive, N.Y. 11/07

"This was my first Inner Bonding Intensive and I was not sure what to expect, though I had high hopes of improving my connection to my guidance. The Intensive far surpassed what I hoped for. The experience of doing deep work with Margaret and watching others do their own work was very powerful and moved me forward spiritually in ways I couldn't have imagined. I'm looking forward to going to my next Intensive next summer! Thank you to Margaret and all my fellow Inner Bonders for providing a safe and loving environment to grow in." Colorado Intensive, 7/07

"Leaving this Intensive, I feel like a different person than the one who arrived. I have been given tools for a whole other way of living life - one that is healthy, functional, loving, open & worth living. Having done lots of therapy in my life, I am profoundly grateful to Margaret for having discovered & shared with us this method for a deeper form of self-integration & healing. I look forward to using these tools & awareness every day!
Inner Bonding, if a critical mass of the human world were practicing it, would bring about World Peace. Margaret is no less an activist for World Peace than Nelson Mandela & Mother Teresa." Colorado Intensive, 7/07

"Before I attended this Intensive I had been living in a very unhealthy way regarding myself. I was afraid and felt very weak to do what I knew I had to do. I have been very unhappy, pulled by everyone around me, and allowing it, disregarding my own feelings. I'm now so aware of my feelings and have the tools to take care of them. I also am able to deal with my huge problems facing me and have the strength, through my guidance, and knowledge, through my guidance, to make the right decisions and how to express them!"

"I have been working on a path of self understanding and growth for about 7 years. I have read books, gone to therapy, worked on my spiritual connection. Inner Bonding has allowed me to bring this all together - as well as giving me a key to continue my growth - not with outside or external motivators but with an inner motivator."
