Each intensive I attend with an intention to learn I'm able to explore and heal the same core issues at a deeper level and move thru them much more quickly. Thanks to Margaret and the group for such a deep, rich and delightful experience. If you have attended a 5 day intensive give yourself a gift of an advanced intensive, it is sooo worth it."

Tools that will bring you the lost part of yourself. This Intensive is way beyond anything I could have imagined.

I feel I have a clear understanding of how to take care of myself by listening and feeling and honoring my true essence. To heal oneself is truly an empowering process.

"An Amazing experience!!! Sharing we experienced with other participants was so rich and insightful. I learned so much from sitting through other people's process. We all share the same core issues in different settings. I felt oneness so intensely during the intensive. The opportunity to get connected to my core essence, true beauty, my own power, and being in touch with my inner child was so powerful and potent. What's great thing about Inner Bonding is I can get in touch with them anywhere, anytime!! We formed such a special family. I know I can count on other participants for their availability to share and support." Santa Fe, NM Intensive, 4/05 Yuko Hashimoto Denver,Colorado 303/377-3795 yukofreedom01DELETE_HERE@yahoo.com

"After having read two of Margaret's books and worked half way through her "Healing your Aloneness Workbook", I got stuck. I was so desperate that I eventually decided to travel half way around the world out of Germany to attend a 5 days Intensive. But then I experienced the very best of all the previous 44 years of my life. I found the key to healing which I had been searching for such a long time! I would like to encourage all persons in Germany who have considered attending an Intensive to do so, though I consider English knowledge at conversational level necessary." L.A. Intensive, 2/05 Dirk Luebbers,Translator Hamburg +49 40 43277775 d61DELETE_HERE@gmx.net
"I knew self-love was my core issue. For the last 30 years I have been searching the psychological and spiritual scene for the tools. The progress has been slow. The Inner Bonding Intensive helped me make a great leap and has given me tools I need to make rapid progress. For the first time in my life I feel at home with myself. Inner Bonding is a profound healing modality." L.A. Intensive, 2/05 James Molloy,Field Service Engineer Escazu, Costa Rica jim_molloyDELETE_HERE@racsa.co.cr
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. Intensive, 2/05 J.W.,Design Business Owner New York,New York printsplanetDELETE_HERE@earthlink.net
"What a gift I received. Margaret's wisdom and compassion offered each of us a safe haven to explore our inner depths, to embrace the feelings which had held us hostage for so long, and to open to a new path of light - to reconnect with our own TRUE essence. What a journey I had, what wonderful tools I left with, what wonderful people I've connected to. Attending and participating in this intensive for me was like taking an express train from: fear to strength; ignorance to wisdom; lethargy to action; darkness to light; passenger to engineer." L.A. Intensive, 2/05 Pat Heubner,Retail Management Long Island,New York 631-940-4090 lonebearwomanDELETE_HERE@hotmail.com
"No other experience has gotten me closer to healing my core shame and realizing the manipulative power of my wounded self. As an MFT intern on track to be a licensed therapist, I highly recommend Inner Bonding, particularly the Intensive to anyone involved in the counseling profession. Inner Bonding is by far the most profound and effective healing modality I have experienced." L.A. Intensive, 2/05 Jeff Frymer,MFT Intern Los Angeles,California oh2jibeDELETE_HERE@adelphia.net
"The Intensive is such a safe environment for deep healing to happen - by deep healing I mean to really get that you are not your wounded self. Even if you've practiced Inner Bonding for a long time, there are always more layers of healing to do. And it's a wonderful journey!" L.A. Intensive, 2/05 Nancy Swisher,Inner Bonding Facilitator/Writer Washington,Massachusetts 413)655-1012 nancyswisherDELETE_HERE@aol.com
"I had a wonderful time at the Inner Bonding Intensive. This work is deeper than anything else I've done and during the Intensive you really get tools that you can use at home to maintain the connection that you've created." L.A.

A Testimonial

"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."
