Groups

The Inner Bonding Village supports a number of interest groups for the benefit of our members.

Groups can be for keeping in touch with friends that you met at an Inner Bonding Event.

Groups can also be topical in nature, where members can support one another with specific shared issues.

Group members can share their photos of events, such as Intensives, with each other.

Feel free to browse and join groups that interest you.

If you have questions, send a message to the group owner or just contact us.

If you want to start a new group, please contact Margaret with the category and name of your group.

Daily Inspiration

Notice whether punishing others works to control them. When you get angry, judgmental or withdrawn to control others, what actually happens? You might intimidate them into doing what you want, but what happens to the feelings between you? How do you end up feeling when you try to control others?

More About Inner Bonding

Inner Bonding is a proven six-step self-healing process that has been developed and optimized over 30 years by Dr. Margaret Paul, Ph.D. and Dr. Erika Chopich, Ph.D. It’s comprehensive. It’s practical. And it always works when you do it.

Inner Bonding empowers you to self-heal the root causes of anxiety, depression, addictions, failed relationships and many other problems that inhibit your personal and spiritual growth and satisfaction. It teaches you how to love yourself rather than continue to abandon yourself, how to move beyond emotional dependency and attain emotional freedom, and how to heal the underlying control issues stemming from self-abandonment.
