The Inner Bonding Workshop

Heal the cycle of shame and self-abandonment that leads to anxiety, depression, addiction, aloneness and relationship failure. Discover how to love yourself rather than reject yourself, and learn to make your best decisions through consistent connection with your personal source of spiritual guidance.

The innovative Inner Bonding process shows you how to:

  • Rapidly heal false beliefs about yourself, others and higher spiritual guidance
  • Heal guilt, shame, emptiness and aloneness
  • Move beyond self-judgment into self-compassion
  • Address the resistance that may be keeping you stuck
  • Learn how to heal relationship conflicts and attain the intimacy you've always wanted

This powerful and life-changing process is the result of Dr. Margaret's over 50 years of personal inner work and work with her clients.

Unless you were raised by parents or caregivers who were loving to themselves, each other and to you, you may not have learned how to lovingly manage your painful feelings. As a result, you may be operating from your ego wounded self, controlled by your fears and false beliefs.

Your wounded self may often take over in unloving ways, trampling on your hurts, ignoring them or avoiding them with various addictions and controlling behavior such as: 

  • Addictions to drugs, junk food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work, TV or gaming.
  • Co-dependence - trying to control others with anger, violence, guilt or compliance - making others responsible for your sense of safety and worth.
  • Staying in your head rather than being present in your body
  • Self-judgment, shaming yourself
  • Obsessive thinking, ruminating, worrying
  • Resistance to self, others, spirit - to taking loving care of yourself

These forms of self-abandonment not only perpetuate fears of rejection, abandonment, aloneness, engulfment or failure, but they can contribute to illness. Inner Bonding is a powerful process for healing self-abandonment and learning to love and value yourself.

Through discussions, exercises and direct work with Dr. Margaret Paul or other Inner Bonding Facilitators, you learn the Six powerful Steps of Inner Bonding.

"Transformational Beyond Words!  My heart and soul and true essence overflow with love and gratitude.  I'm so eager and excited to go home and do Inner Bonding, and share this with my husband and son, and most of all MYSELF at any given moment." Kripalu Workshop, Margaret Dean Godhard, Mom, Educator, Gainesville, GA

Daily Inspiration

Giving and receiving, receiving and giving, creates a circle of loving energy that fills and brings joy. Giving without receiving will eventually leave you drained, and taking without giving will leave you empty. Today, be aware of giving and receiving with people, animals, nature and God.

'This was truly a life awakening experience for my sister and I.  Being scared but okay to open up was challenging but extremely rewarding.  I can't wait to take these tools and apply to my life at home. Margaret was fantastic and I felt her care for each one of us was sincere and true.'  Weekend Workshop - Kripalu, Lenox, MA 9.14


Amanda Jennings

"Amazing!  I really feel it combines cognitive behavioral therapy with spirituality in such a way that is more healing and meaningful than just changing one's thoughts.  What brought it home to me is really visualizing my wounded child as an actual child and asking myself, 'Would I really speak to a child that way?'" L.A. Workshop, 1/08
Michael Porco

'I learned the difference between my wounded self & my inner child, the difference between answers, & learning by doing the work, & direct knowing.  The difference between taking, giving & sharing love, the intention behind my actions to gain control to get love, avoid pain & feel safe.  I know I have a lot to do, but as Margaret said it is never too late.'  Weekend Workshop - Anaheim Hills, CA 3.14


Cathy Waechter

"I recognized this process as tough love for myself. Because I embraced it even feeling the risk and fear of finding out about myself, I am awakened, being transformed and my life commitment now is to Being and giving Love. Thank you." Omega Workshop, 5/04
Patricia Bruno

'I always had the need to heal myself.  I have never been in therapy, and I had worked already somehow on Step 1, and in this Workshop, everything touched on my feelings.  I feel I was meant to be here at this time; because this is the time that I think I have time to take care of myself with God's blessings.  Will be following up with other workshop.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.12

"The Inner Bonding workshop has helped me learn different tools so I can understand my self and others more efficiently. I am happy to say it was a weekend very well spent. I enjoyed myself." Toronto Workshop, April, 2000
