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

If you do not cherish your body, your inner child - your soul - will not feel loved. Your child lives in your body, and expresses through your body. If you don't feed your body well and get enough exercise, and if you don't get enough sleep or enough downtime to regenerate, your child will not feel loved and cherished. Today, cherish your body, the temple of your soul.

'Thank you for the clarity & honesty in sharing your life experience.  I could relate on so many levels.  I live, in many ways, connected to my Guidance.  I now have the courage & skills to live even more authentically in all areas of my life & to share my story & joy of life with people on a more consistent basis.' Weekend Workshop - Kripalu - Lenox, MA 9.14

"The strongest piece I received is how disconnected I am with my Inner Self and why. My commitment to myself is to work through the why - the fears. My hope is that once this happens, I will be able to stay in my body and be present. A process I will use. [Margaret was] great, interesting, entertaining, informative." Toronto Workshop, April, 2000
Ejay Russel

"This has been a wonderful Workshop. The material has been so well-organized. A very thorough presentation of the Inner Bonding principles. Covers a lot of ground in only 2 days." L.A. Workshop, 12/06
Dr. Ilene Krems

"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 & son, and most of all MYSELF at any given moment." Kripalu Workshop, 9/08
Margaret Dean Godhard

'It has been helpful to see the process worked in front of a group, to see others experiences, as well as working in small groups.  Sharing each others experiences, strength & hope.  Margaret defined over & over the differences of the Loving Adult & the Wounded Child & that has been very helpful as I have struggled with this concept.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.12
 


Melisa Seely

"I intuitively knew this was the workshop for me.  It more than met my expectations.  I've never heard a facilitator take the words right out of my mouth and realize that she had gone through the exact same reactions, feelings, experiences in her relationships and not only her but all or almost all of us here at the workshop.  Thank you Dr. Margaret for creating the open, safe space.  I love your directness!  'Thank you.'" Art of Living, 5.18
