"I came into this weekend scared of having to expose myself. I feared expressing my feelings of shame and guilt and embarrassment. I most especially was afraid to cry in front of others. I felt like I'd rather die than to be so vulnerable amongst strangers. But, after having participated this weekend I feel some of that fear has diminished and I now know that it's okay to cry without embarrassment or shame. I feel safe." LA Workshop 9/10/01

"It was valuable for me to see other go through the Inner Bonding process.  It was great to see Dr.  Margaret Paul model a loving adult who has compassion.  I really like the idea of being guided by my higher self.  This workshop taught me that.  I have done inner child work in the past, but it left me in a victim mode.  This process empowers you rather than leaving you to feel like a victim and teaches you how to lovingly manage difficult emotions. '

"I found it to be a loving, supportive environment in which to learn about the various parts of myself and to shift from anger and frustration to compassion and love. I've done quite a bit of this work. I always find it valuable and inspiring. This is the first time I've done it with a loved one, and it was great."

"Wow, amazing how one weekend can be so impacting! I was called to come, the words aloneness and finding your passion/purpose was the main trigger! On Friday evening I found myself reluctant, thinking I did enough of that 'stuff'. I didn't think it would benefit me! But my intent was to stay until the cake was fully baked, so my interest was staying open and to learn. How wonderful! The process helped me to work out a big junk of frustration, hurt and anxiety. I really got an understanding where my wounded child caused all this and I feel a big amount of freedom and motivation to use the six steps for all other challenges. This process really can help me, will help me to heal my body and soul and to take care of myself in a loving, gentle way! Thank you very much!" Rowe, MA Workshop, April, 2000

'After a long 3 year divorce I finally have answers and most importantly a structure.  I needed to know why I do and react the way I do.  I feel I can finally move on with my life now, I also have insight into other people that will benefit me for the rest of my life.  I almost did not make it here however life changing is what this workshop has been!'
