To say I’m grateful is doing the Intensive a disservice.  Grateful feels like a “typical" thing to say and NOTHING about this weekend felt typical.  It was not the “same old therapy”.  I have been in therapy at different times in my life and the same issues were always discussed...again and again and again.  And while traditional therapy is a brave step for someone to take when they need help, it just wasn’t enough for me - something was still missing. Inner Bonding is like finding that last missing piece to a puzzle!  It is logical, practical and results oriented.  It is a tool that works.  Already today I was able to catch quite a few false beliefs!  I listened for them and stopped when I heard them.  I took the time to know where they came from and I allowed myself to feel the hurt that  I know was damaging to me as a child.  Then I let myself know that it wasn’t the truth about me and finally, I let myself feel what it feels like when you are loving to yourself.  I know that I can and will do these few simple steps to retrain my brain to know love.  It WILL be my sacred privilege to take care of and love myself...my soul…my essence. Thank you Margaret.  You are a miracle and I will be forever in your debt.  Southern California Advanced Intensive - 2.15

"I am so grateful to have the opportunity to engage in such an absolutely powerful, life-changing experience. I have been on a self-exploration and self-healing journey for the past 40 years but have never come so close to really knowing the fullness of Who I Really Am and seeing so much more clearly my own self-created obstacles to that joy and freedom, as I was able to see during the intensive. I got to experience IB up-close and personal during the intensive and experience the most loving and safest healing environment that I have ever been a part of. Being relatively new to the process, I found the experience was so very helpful. Margaret’s loving and wise facilitation with everyone present allowed me to not just understand the IB concepts but actually experience them, allowing so many, many insights to naturally bubble up that I am amazed at how much I can now see and know more fully about my internal processes. I am so excited about what is in front of me because I feel much mental fog has blown away. Given that I am a psychotherapist by training and profession, the genius of IB cannot be stated enough! I have long searched for healing that acknowledges the human dilemma along with the Wholeness of Spirit and IB brilliantly weaves the work of the psyche into the tapestry of the Divine enabling me to grow more completely in all areas of my life and my experience. I learned so much about all the crafty, cunning and baffling ways I try to protect myself and control everyone and everything else, which actually keeps me from knowing my Divine Nature. I can see much more clearly now how I have created and become addicted to the Wounded Self and I am learning to practice far greater compassion for myself than I have ever been able to do before. My connection to my Highest Self is not cluttered by my wounded self as much as it was before. Inner Bonding is such a brilliant, creative, powerful healing process, that I would recommend it to everyone."

"This Intensive was the first place where anyone ever told me that all my care giving is controlling, not loving, and that sitting in my energy at that moment was a lonely experience.  As a pastor, that was a shock.  But it was spoken without any judgment, merely as information, and this shattering of my self-illusions led to genuine love for myself and for others, and gave me great freedom.  There is no greater freedom than to love oneself & be oneself as created by God, and then to share that love out of one's own inner abundance.  Thank you, Margaret, for helping me open to Spirit and open my heart."

"This was the right time for me to come - I was able to see and hear my inner child and bring her into conscious awareness. Another wonderful experience was a breakthrough on an image of Guidance as a Loving Hand for me to be embraced by, to stand in, to be sheltered and directed and led by. The energy work the last day was wonderful - I experienced a real release - leaving of old energy stuff. I felt a significant release and a re-energizing of personal power. Thank you for creating a safe place for me to do this work." Ossining, NY - August 25-29, 2000
