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

"Love, love, loved the workshop! Working in a small group with other was very helpful. I hope to do more book studies in Missouri in the future. Inner Bonding is a loving, healing process. So Good! I recevied the emails with great articles the I share with my recovering friends. Great food for that. So grateful a friend saw my suffering and recommended your website. Ive been able to heal my traumas and share with others"  Kripalu 9.18

'The Inner Bonding Workshop is wonderful and empowering.  I feel a deep sense of well being.  It reaffirms the path I already was on and makes me conscious and determined to stick with it. When I started Inner Bonding I did not have the ability to be alone, to spend time in my own company.  If I felt upset or cried about something I would need a friend or loved one.  Two years later, just a few months prior to the Workshop, I lost my 16 year old son in a tragic accident.  I am immersed in the deepest pain possible and not afraid of it.  I can just cry and cry like my heart is breaking and be able to comfort myself and be there for myself and know that this will pass.  I am able to go through what I am today (death, divorce, moving countries) because I have ME.' Los Angeles Weekend Workshop, 3.11

"I am very grateful because I was able to accept my inner child, whereas in the past I hated her and hated myself. Now that I love and embrace her, I feel I can finally love and embrace myself. I feel whole, powerful, and in control. I recognize myself for the first time since my sister died. I didn't expect this to be so moving, but it was. [Margie was] excellent! I was very happy that she shared personal experiences. I feel that her honesty created an atmosphere of openness. I also realize that I am not the only one that feels confused sometimes. Just because Margie helped create the process doesn't mean that she's mastered life. She still works on Inner Bonding." Rowe, MA Workshop, April, 2000
