Support Group

'The Intensive was such an amazing experience.  To be able to work on intense feelings and gain not only clarity but loving support from others was affirming.  What couldn't be accomplished in individual therapy or time limited groups was available and provided the safety to do so here.  Margaret is amazing and emits such wonderful energy.  I recommend an Intensive to anyone who wants a life changing experience.'

The most outstanding moment for me in the intensive was when I saw [a member of the intensive] as a one and a half year old, isolated from family and all that was familiar, faced with the decision of whether to live or die. And she chose life. As I understood the majesty of her decision, deep respect for her poured into me and filled me to overflowing. I was awed and honored to be in her presence. I had similar moments with many of the others in the group. I believe that it is from that position of deep respect for a person that I can actually be a conductor of love and light from God to his child. I want to do that. Today is Sunday, our Sabbath. We are fasting today, and I was reading in Isaiah: Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thy own flesh?... And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. ...and thou shalt be called , The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.' (Isaiah 58:6-7, 10-12 King James Version) So, Margie, that is my name for you : Margie -The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. I think it is a beautiful name that fits you well. I love the new path that I dwell in. There is more light here. Thank you for the true reflection of who I am. I remember the look on your face when you told me about meeting me for the first time. It has been a great source of peace and comfort to me. Thank you."

'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

Bonafide Transformative Experience!  True exercises in self-exploration within an atmosphere of authentic safety.  Dr. Paul’s unique process of Inner Bonding to identify what doesn’t work in a well lived life is sheer brilliance!  Empowerment comes from learning to be and do better in a fun-loving self and group supportive format.  An intensive experience in self growth to treasure for always.

'After 20 years of searching, researching, reading, workshops, trainings, retreats and healing modalities, Inner Bonding was the gigantic missing puzzle piece in the center of the puzzle.  It's the answer for me.' Colorado Intensive, 4.12

"The communal living feels really good - I love that we worked all day. I never felt like I needed more break time because it felt so comfortable to come and go to take care of myself. I love how accessible Margie is - I feel like she is one of us, not one above us, and I appreciate leaders like that - it is wonderful to know that as I continue this process, I become more and more real."
