"Inner Bonding has really shown me the way to recovery from my unloving and destructive behavior. Going to a 5-Day Intensive, my first, has been a tremendous help! I was apprehensive at first but quickly realized the extraordinary help that was available through this intensive process and Inner Bonding. I would recommend Inner Bonding and the 5-Day Intensive to anyone feeling 'stuck' or 'trapped' in their unloving and destructive patterns." Santa Fe Intensive, 4/06

"Attending this intensive allowed me to really focus in and take time to find an hear my inner child. Now that I know her a little better I feel more equipped to connect with her throughout my day. I am also better able to recognize my feelings and what I am doing that is causing them. I feel more whole after completing this intensive." 10.17

"It was for me a profound experience where I got in touch with my essence, and met beautiful and creative people who shared their gifts with me - the 5-Day Intensive was guided by Margaret and Sharon's wisdom and expertise." Durango, CO Intensive, 10/07

Great experience! I signed up for this intensive and did not know what to expect. What happened was 13 people from all walks of life came together as strangers and left 6 days later as connected friends. Each person shared their individual history at their level of vulnerability with Margaret as she lead them into an inner bonding process in a group setting. Each person in the group had an opportunity to work individually 4 to 6 times. The work produced meaningful healing changes in me and the way I love and nurture myself. We also shared healthy meals together and had plenty of breaks.

"The intensive provided a wonderful and authentic experience of being in a healing community, with the work facilitated by a true Elder, Margaret, whose laser like compassionate inquiry was frequently utterly transformational, and always wise, insightful and loving. Shifts occurred in people’s self views, their understanding of their challenges, their connection to their True Self, the boundaries in their life, the true causes of their suffering; the list could go on. Margaret is a true Elder, guiding people to the truth of their life. I felt fully seen, held and loved. It was the most useful inner work I have done. "

"'Hello good world' said the cat. during a pause at the inner bonding five days intensive i was walking the streets in my city and i was passing a little white and black cat. i felt kind of drawn to her. i greeted her and talked to her, and she came closer. i was feeling good, and i caressed her. she liked it and blinked with her eyes. 'hello good world' she suddenly said. 'i know how the world works', she said to me. 'so do i', i told her. 'It is all about bringing love into the world'! 'yes' she said, and you are very welcome to join me in it'. 'i know what you have been through', she continued, 'and from now on life for you will start to get better'. 'yes, dear cat, i said 'thanks to Dr. Margaret Paul I was made aware so beautifully what love really is, to pay attention to my feelings, and how to get past old trauma and heartbreak.' 'Good, said the cat, 'nice to meet you', and again she blinked with her eyes. 'Say greetings to Margaret'. 'Oh yes, I'll do that' I said 'and goodbye dear cat, thank you for letting me join the new good world!' ...And now i can stand firmly on the ground. i belong to this good world. it's the same world as before but now i see all the good i was not aware of. Hidden talents also came out... see cat story above. it was the first time i had the feeling to belong to a group...deep hidden emotions and pain of each of us were healed...together we have held a beautiful safe space where i was feeling accepted and loved."
