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

Every time we blame someone, we make them responsible for our feelings and needs, which puts us in the position of being a victim. Every time we blame someone, we dis-empower ourselves. Today, notice the tendency of your ego wounded self to blame others for your upsets.

"I wanted to write and again express my appreciation to you for the workshop on Inner Bonding you recently conducted here. All of us involved in putting together the workshop feel that it was a tremendous success. I have heard from several participants that although they had already read your books on the Inner bonding process, having the opportunity to hear you and work with you directly was immensely beneficial."
Larry Bass, Ph.D.

"The weekend is a powerful illumination of the 6 steps of Inner Bonding. Because Inner Bonding is a practice one commits to (or not), the weekend is very valuable even if you already have been doing the Inner Bonding process."
Nancy Swisher

"The ideas expressed resonate with me. I've had glimpses into this for years. It's wonderful that people believed there must be a truth out there and pursued it. I'm responsible for making this new approach work in my life." Los Angeles, CA - September 2001
George Hildebrand

“Very cathartic for me and others.  We now love the method of Inner Bonding.  I know now that good results will occur by following the steps of Inner Bonding by practice.  Was really really good.  Obtained a lot of insight into myself.  Everything was wonderful.  Stel is a wonderful therapist.   Sharon and Karen were very great support.”    11/2018

'My experience was very fulfilling.  I experienced some breakthroughs that were very helpful in continuing on the journey to "Self Love". I learned how to ask my Inner child what she needs, know that my Wounded child tells lies and to come from the Loving Adult when making decisions.'  Weekend Workshop - Kripalu - Lenox, MA 9.14


Christine Tebben

"After doing Inner Bonding for six months it was valuable to hear the process explained from beginning to end.  Being new to this process it was amazing to share this process so intimately with others." Kripalu Workshop, Lenox, MA, 10/09
