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!

"Both Judy and I rediscovered our abandoned Inner Children while we were
participating at the Inner Bonding Intensive in Santa Fe. The added bonus was
finding our power again. This has been an amazing process both individually and
as a couple. Margaret Paul has been miraculous as the leader and co-founder
of the Inner Bonding process. This process has allowed me to realize that I
can be in a relationship without losing myself."

"Finally, after years of having relationships end the same way with the same
problem (intense fighting and thinking the other person is the problem) and
ending up alone, I finally was able to see myself and how I was contributing to
the problem or how my way or being was activating or contributing to the
result of separation. I see that I was addicted to anger, and I was looking
outside of myself to validate who I am. I know and will take the time to love and
take care of myself, and that anger is my addiction and not the solution." Couples Intensive, Santa Fe, 8/04

"I have enjoyed attending Intensives in the past on my own - attending with my partner was an even more rewarding experience since I was able to observe our system and my role in it. As well, we now have a shared experience and vocabulary to work through our challenges together." Couples Intensive, Santa Fe, 8/04

"[The Intensive] is a personal experience and group process where you can be in touch with yourself and others in a powerfully healing way. I loved every minute of it and can't wait to do it again! I learned so much from witnessing others, as well as doing my own work. It's a good way to access your feelings and the messages they are giving you, and find the support and guidance you need in the moment, at any moment." Santa Fe Intensive, 5/04. Naomi Roen So.

"In a supportive and loving environment, I was able to explore my thoughts,
behaviors and intentions when in relationship to myself and others. The Inner
Bonding process offers a way to freedom, clarity and joy. If you are ready to
take full responsibility for yourself, open to what is possible for you and
experience an Intensive." Santa Fe Intensive, 5/04

A transformational experience, beyond any previous therapy. Each intensive that I attend allows me to move closer to achieving my full potential. Inner Bonding is the key to successful relationship. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to participate in this safe, loving, learning experience. Margie is a dedicated teacher, with a wonderful gift to share. 2003 Enid Kessler,Interfaith Minister/Addiction Counselor New York, NY, USA enidkDELETE_HERE@juno.com
Spending 5 days in this loving [intensive] environment is a freeing and joyful experience. It brings me such a sense of what life on the planet can be, and teaches me how to live my journey in a way that lets the light in - Inner Bonding is a process to practice with intention, and thereby I have found joy. 2003 Rick Fria,Construction Management Snoqualmie, WA rickDELETE_HERE@friacm.com
This [intensive] was probably the safest I have felt since birth! Margaret Paul created a nurturing container of pure love and curiosity which allowed me to face and address an issue I have hidden from for 50+ years. I came hoping for a breakthrough experience and I found it.
Marti Neal,Therapist Salem,Indiana 502/641-5805 mwnealDELETE_HERE@blueriver.net
I feel that Margie is an enlightened person. She has an intensity that stimulates all levels of communication within my being. I'm a better person for my work with Margie [at the intensive] and I look forward to continuing my growth.
Michael Narutowicz,Entrepreneur Baltimore,Maryland narvadDELETE_HERE@aol.com
Before the intensive I was feeling hopeless and cynical about trying one more thing. After the first day, this workshop had changed my life permanently. What I had thought was a lot of money to spend on a five-day intensive I now will pay willingly and gratefully again and again as I continue to bring Inner Bonding into my life.
Karen Kral,Graduate Student, Counseling Santa Fe,New Mexico 505-466-2999
After having completed my second Intensive, I am filled with inner peace and joy. This feeling comes from having found my spirit! With my spirit as my guide I am never alone. I am very excited about the work that I have done and look forward to integrating the Inner Bonding process into my life and work. Thank you Margie!

My experience with Inner Bonding [the intensive] was that the six step process took me much deeper into my psyche than I expected or have experienced with other psychotherapist's methods. I recognized how deceptively controlling I am of myself and others to ensure my needs and responsibilities are handed over to my wife and others. I will now be learning to take responsibility for my needs and begin to give much needed love and attention to my inner child.
James Schmidt,Retired Aerospace Engineer Albuquerque,New Mexico 505/831-8996 jschmidtDELETE_HERE@spinn.net
Even though I had just completed a two year Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, I learned so much more about loving myself during the intensive. The experience has substantially changed my life and I now have a very practical tool to use in transforming my fears and worries into compassion and love. I highly recommend the experience - my wife and I are incredibly grateful!

If you consider five days of your life, there is no better way to get to know yourself and walk away with a process for continued positive growth. I loved being here learning from Margie and all the participants. The bonding that occurred was both inner and with everyone with whom I shared this time. Michael Solomon,Entrepreneurial Advisor Ross,California michaelDELETE_HERE@msolomon.net
The Intensive provides a safe environment to create a healthy dialogue between your healthy adult and inner child. The workshop participants provide a wonderful mirror of our own issues and experiences. The Inner bonding process gives you an opportunity to tune into your spiritual connection and learn what is in your highest good.
Wayne Minor,Sales Ft. Lauderdale,Florida 954/439-4632 bingo37DELETE_HERE@bellsouth.net
I came to this intensive program somewhat reluctantly as my wife wanted to attend. I leave, five days later, with an intense sense of gratitude that I attended and a feeling of being greatly privileged as I and others in the group spoke our truth and discussed our issues. The feeling of safety and encouragement and Margaret's insights made a great deal of
progress possible. Many times I felt a chill as comments and suggestions made by Margaret hit home and were understood at the gut level by the participant. I would encourage all human beings who want to grow emotionally and spiritually to attend this program. Shazad Carpenter,CPA and Therapist San Jose,California 408-666-6791 shazadcDELETE_HERE@aol.com
Intensive #2. Now I really 'get' how to use the 6 steps and know that by constantly and consistently practicing them that I will release the fear and anger that has been blocking me from the sunshine of spirit.

The [couples] workshop offered an excellent opportunity to learn by examples what it means to listen to your inner child, to open to spiritual guidance, and to practice the entire sequence of the Inner Bonding process. Observing (and sometimes participating) in other people's explorations offered both an opportunity to see the Inner Bonding process in action, but also an opportunity to see an issue one has being dealt with by another person who has the same issue. Doing one's work with Margie as a coach is very effective.
Dorothy McKinney,Engineer San Jose,California dorothy.mckinneyDELETE_HERE@computer.org
I came to the intensive with an overwhelming sadness and anger, but I did not know the cause, or essence of it. I trusted Margie and her assistants (Patti and Colin) to know how to unleash these feelings. By trusting, and having a willingness to learn about myself - I have broken down the walls that protected the pain I was holding onto. I no longer want to focus on these negatives, I want to use the knowledge for loving myself and others. Laurie Dalton,Property Master/ TV and Film Los Angeles,California 323/662-9833 LCD3DELETE_HERE@aol.com
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.

When David and I set out for this couples workshop, we were both filled with anger and blame towards the other person. I decided before I started to get rid of that feeling and try to find my peace of mind. I found that and so much more. I discovered that I had a wounded, abandoned child that I had not been taking care of. Once I opened up and became a loving adult taking care of my inner child, I felt more alive. The workshop gave me the tools (the six steps) to connect with my inner spirit and take care of myself. Once I become the loving adult, I can be part of a wonderful relationship.
Joanne Blayman,Registered Nurse Chapel Hill,North Carolina 919-602-6472 joannebDELETE_HERE@registerednurses.com
Not a book [Inner Bonding] about blame or woe is me! A very balanced view for working with our inner responsibility for where we are in the present and where we want to be in the future. It does not focus on the "poor baby" syndrome and assign blame to others. It
helps to identify reasons why we are where we are, but then strongly encourages
self responsibility. An excellent book for anyone wanting to grow and take charge
of their own life!
