The Inner Bonding Intensive and Dr. Margaret Paul's wisdom, attention, and love brought out things that would have taken years to uncover in traditional therapy. I am more present, in the intention to learn, and have forged a stronger connection to my higher guidance - all in 5 days! I now more readily acknowledge the many deeply painful feelings that I formerly ignored. I also recognize the varied addictive behaviors I employ to avoid those uncomfortable feelings. Ive uncovered a slew of false beliefs that were causing me grief. Importantly, I've learned that I need to acknowledge my essence (innate talents and gifts) and to insure that I make time for the things I love in my busy life. Best of all, I now have the tools to heal and comfort myself and I own the fact that only I must learn to give myself the attention, approval, acknowledgment, and love that I need. Besides all that....the other participants were kind, supportive, and loving, the retreat compound was breathtakingly beautiful, and the food was delicious, healthy, and plentiful! Hiking in the desert hills, soaking in a hot tub with a view of the mountains, viewing a full sky of constellations (for the first time in many years) were also a special part of my Inner Bonding Intensive journey in Lucerne, CA. I highly recommend the Intensive to anyone seeking a deeper sense of self love and appreciation along with a solid connection to one's spiritual guidance. I will never forget this experience! L.A.

'During one of the lowest points in my life, the five-day Intensive was a truly transformational experience.  The beauty, safety and openness of this experience is unique and full of joy and learning.  Dr. Margaret Paul is an incredible soul and has a gift that is truly spiritual and ultimately insightful.'

'Inner Bonding allowed me to access the very deepest part of my soul.  It helped me get to a place I've never been before, finally to the core of me.  It has been a challenging but amazing experience, one which has changed my life forever.  Margaret was perfect in every way and helped guide me to the bottom and supported me through that experience, and now I know I have finally reached the core, the only way is up.' Santa Barbara Intensive 2.14

[Of most value was] "the intense work with Margaret and Charlie - the guided exploration with other participants, i.e., sometimes 2 people worked at the same time if they had a common issue. this approach is unique in its ability to help participants achieve inner clarity and truth which ultimately leads to serenity. Thank you so much."

The Ossining Intensive was powerful and incredibly healing. Michael and Nancy made a truly safe - and sacred - place for us in this lovely old farmhouse. They helped us explore the defenses we had created against extremely painful memories, losses and fears from childhood, all with the intent to know and love ourselves more deeply. They are so grounded in this wonderful Innerbonding process -- and it works! Nancy brings her strength and Mother Earth presence and Michael his persistent, gentle spiritual connection: a dynamite combination! The meditations, dancing, hilarious story-making, inner child's play like blowing bubbles, and Notessence collages of our core selves all helped create community and gave us a way to integrate this profound experience. We were empowered and transformed. And we laughed as much as we cried. This was my third intensive and filled with gratitude for the way my life has changed over 15 months. Thank you Nancy and Michael for the gift of seeing ourselves through the eyes of grace. Thank you for the privilege of being with other beautiful souls and sharing a part of their journey. Namaste.

'This Intensive has challenged me in the deepest of ways.  I was not always happy about it, but it was exactly what I needed and it will stay with me for the rest of my life.  I felt I was unable to release my grief for the death of my Father when I was 6.  But Dr. Margaret Paul along with the Facilitators were able to create such a safe space, that I was able to jump-start that process.  Most of all it was made clear that it is my responsibility and that I have to move into the intention to learn and open my heart.'  Colorado Intensive 10.14
