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!
"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

"Coming to this Intensive has opened a huge awareness of how I have been abandoning myself by being a caretaker to control others. I have gently been led to my inner child and have given myself permission to cherish her with the support of her loving guidance."

"Connecting with my inner child has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. Finally finding that perfect mom inside me that I have been looking for all my life has been a life changing experience. I cannot wait to go home and master all these new things that I just learned. I am so blessed and grateful for this experience." Colorado Intensive, 7/07 Lenna Groudan,Business Analyst Houston,Texas 832)721-5288 lennawteDELETE_HERE@wt.net
"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 had been apprehensive about attending the Inner Bonding Intensive for over 10 years and finally made the decision to attend the Intensive in Durango, CO in April. I felt a calling to do the deepest work in a process I trust and believe in, after having worked with Margaret Paul for many years. The relaxed, loving, accepting environment Margaret creates from beginning to end is incredible. She allows a beautiful and authentic process to occur with each and every participant in which she guides, listens, teaches and encourages us with heartfelt passion. Her Inner Bonding technique is put to its ultimate practice in the 5-Day Intensive, allowing us to really absorb and assimilate this incredible, deep and powerful process. I loved the mood of the Intensive being, "do what is in your highest good," at every moment. It was perfectly structured, yet comfortably relaxed at the same time. By the 2nd day, our group of 12 had bonded with each other, and we all formed friendships and connections that were amazing - we had shared so much of ourselves with each other. The location, Blue Lake Ranch in Durango, CO was exceptional! Stunning flower-filled grounds, exquisite rooms with beamed ceilings, great, cozy beds, marble bathrooms and a warm, accommodating staff who prepared our meals with care and love...fireplaces everywhere, peaceful and serene...truly a deluxe experience. I can't wait to come back!!
P.S. The morning meditations were really moving. They were incredibly centering, spiritual, and grounding each morning before we began our day."

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

"Margaret is an amazing, caring, giving, insightful person who I was honored to come to know. With her help I am on my way to learning how to give my little girl the love she so desperately needs. I felt a special bond with Margaret's Assistant, Sharon Pearson. The wisdom and love she shared is priceless. Blue Lake Ranch in Durango was a beautiful place that came to feel like home. Their cook Jackie especially made all of our Inner Children feel loved and mothered. The love and closeness my fellow Inner Bonders gave has me ready to return time after time. Thanks, blessings, and love to all from Durango, April 2007." Intensive.

"I think Inner Bonding is an extremely powerful tool to start bringing joy into your life just by shifting your intention into the willingness to be open and learn. I am so grateful I came all the way from Spain to the Mountains in Colorado, from now on my safety place." Durango, CO, Intensive, 4/07

Incredible - I didn't believe it would work ahead of the Intensive. But it works once you've faced your pain, control and other issues. I feel so grateful for being there and the wonderful place we were in." Durango, CO, Intensive, 4/07 Marion Decker Bonn +492284038668 decker.marionDELETE_HERE@online.de
"I felt apprehensive on my way to the Intensive which dissapated immediately upon entering the room where the other attendees were smiling, greeting one another and preparing for the day. It is a completely trusting environment.
This experience was life changing. Not only the work done one-on-one with Margaret, but the Love, support and input from everyone in the room contributed enormously to my transitioning from a wounded place to a loving, compassionate place. This REALLY works!" Los Angeles Intensive, 3/07

"Given the opportunity to share what the 5-Day Intensive meant to me I decided to wait and as a new bonding buddy put it 'give this testimonial the energy it deserves.' I have been home a week, back into my life, and I have found the words to explain what the Intensive experience meant to me.
When a person learns to drive, life is never the same. When you first leave home, get married, or have a child your life is never the same. Your perspective is changed forever. That's exactly what the Intensive was for me, life altering. I have practiced the tools of Inner Bonding as things came up this week and it works. I am living in a place of peace and joy that I have never been able to maintain before. The 5-Day Intensive has equipped me with tools and a support network to enjoy the journey called, the rest of my life."

"My experience is one of the best in my entire life. I leave today with tools to make the last half of my life the BEST! Thank you!

My experience of these five days of Inner Bonding was one of the most healing and enlightening times. It was all wrapped up for me in the last day of jumping in and allowing my little child her place in my life. She is now alive, seen and fully appreciated. Thank you, thank you."

This was my second Intensive. I'm a 62 year old (fairly "Hot" Grandma) who struggles with alcohol abuse. The past 3 days I have learned "how to", and that I must stand up and speak my truth. I'm quite shy and believed I should be "nice" to my husband and family members. I have been tortured inside by not being honest. I now feel empowered to speak up when things don't feel right. It will be the loving thing to do to my husband who has no idea what he does to contribute to the situation. I'm excited about the possibilities for my future happiness! L.A. Advanced Intensive, 4/07

"It has been a tremendously inspiring and liberating experience. Inner Bonding is a process of learning how to take loving care of ourselves in each and every moment. It has given me the understanding, insight and tools to enable me to do this in a way I've never before been able to with other therapies. It's given me my life!" Lucerne Valley Intensive, 11/06

"I had read a number of Margaret's books before I attended the Intensive but knew that I only had what is something called 'Book Learning.' I needed to practice Inner Bonding in a deep and regular way to fully understand it. Margaret's devotion and commitment to helping others is insirational. She has a dep connection to God and is very loving, kind and also direct and honest." Lucerne Valley Intensive, 11/06

"Learning from Margaret is a wonderful gift. Her love and compassion radiate from her. She wastes no time to get you to the present, and the relief from the pain and anguish is speedy. Her guidance and clarity goes from one group member to the next without her missing a beat. You will learn as much from each group member, their experiences and how they deal.
The love and compassion you feel for each person opens up the love and compassion for yourself. Opening to Guidance will be demonstrated over and over, and is what makes working in a group so powerful and beneficial. The process, the group and Margaret have made this an experience of a lifetime for me. This has been what dreams are made of!" Santa Fe Intensive, 10/06
