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

Today, focus on thinking thoughts and taking actions that create peace within. Let go of attempting to control anything outside of yourself and focus only on what you can control - your own thoughts and actions. Today, make creating peace within, and filling yourself with love, your primary goal, and then lovingly share your peace and love with others.

Knowing something needs to change and having compassion enough to do it is a revelation.  I found loving my inner child and helping her has truly saved my life.  Having courage to walk forth in the strides of my truth has burst me out of my closet.  Realizing I don’t have bipolar but in fact was living a bipolar life.  Part of me out in the straight family life and my true sexuality locked in the closet.  Freedom. -2019

It was wonderful and challenging experience.  I have learned that I tend to be controlling, demanding and impatient and these tendencies are not serving my core self.  I find that doing this inner bonding practice frightens me because I have become so disconnected from my core self over the years.  It’s took a lot of courage to attend the retreat and I’m very proud of myself for coming and committing to the work.- 2019

"I came into this experience as a whim and fully ready to back out.  I've been in a dark, self defeating place for a long time and didn't want to get out of it.  I cried the entire way up and snuck wine and cigarettes into my room in fear I wouldn't be able to deal.  After day one, I felt an immediate change - a RELEASE.  This has been a life changing experience and I look forward to learning more about Inner Bonding and helping my wounded self to become a loving adult." Kripalu, 9.17
