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
None of us heals alone. The wounded self believes we have to go it alone, but part of the job of the loving Adult is to reach out for help when help is needed. Today, reach out and receive the help you may be needing.

'I have been struggling with trying to understand or trying to find a 'system' that can help me to understand and at the same time that I can use to heal me. I think that Inner Bonding has the structure in a very simple and usable, yet powerful way. Thank you.' LA Workshop, 3.7.10
Tatiana Torres
'I began this experience with some amount of fear. Quickly, after arriving I began to feel safe and by the end, now, I feel open and compassionate towards myself and my new friends. Margaret gets to the point and consistently and loving guides our understanding of the process.' Los Angeles Inner Bonding Workshop, 4.12
Donovan Porterfield
'As a trans guy, I found this workshop provided a safe space to sink deeper into my little boy; and it helped me to acknowledge that I have been blaming and treating my little girl like it was her fault. Once I realized she wasn't the issue, I was able to fully let her go and hear her say good-bye. Thank you for the loving, gentle way you were able to show me the steps to problem solving thru loving action.' Southern California Weekend Workshop, 4.14

Carol Kirkwood
"Before I came to Kripalu to take the Inner Bonding Workshop I had a large feeling of Aloneness. The workshop has allowed me to understand my Self abandonment, and how to work on loving my own inner child. After one weekend of Inner Bonding I feel wonderful and the experience is unlike anything I have ever experienced." Kripalu Workshop, Lenox, MA, 10/09
Victoria Caligiuri
“This is an awesome workshop. My experience at the Inner Bonding workshop was mind blowing. A lot of truths about the truth and my journey came to the surface and to light and I experienced tremendous healing and breakthrough. Having these tools now will be very helpful and healing for me going forward. I love this process and I will continue to practice Inner Bonding. Everyone should come to this workshop and learn Inner Bonding. It will transform you and your life in such a positive way. This is an excellent workshop. Great Experience.”
