The Inner Bonding Workshop

Heal the cycle of shame and self-abandonment that leads to anxiety, depression, addiction, aloneness and relationship failure. Discover how to love yourself rather than reject yourself, and learn to make your best decisions through consistent connection with your personal source of spiritual guidance.

The innovative Inner Bonding process shows you how to:

  • Rapidly heal false beliefs about yourself, others and higher spiritual guidance
  • Heal guilt, shame, emptiness and aloneness
  • Move beyond self-judgment into self-compassion
  • Address the resistance that may be keeping you stuck
  • Learn how to heal relationship conflicts and attain the intimacy you've always wanted

This powerful and life-changing process is the result of Dr. Margaret's over 50 years of personal inner work and work with her clients.

Unless you were raised by parents or caregivers who were loving to themselves, each other and to you, you may not have learned how to lovingly manage your painful feelings. As a result, you may be operating from your ego wounded self, controlled by your fears and false beliefs.

Your wounded self may often take over in unloving ways, trampling on your hurts, ignoring them or avoiding them with various addictions and controlling behavior such as: 

  • Addictions to drugs, junk food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work, TV or gaming.
  • Co-dependence - trying to control others with anger, violence, guilt or compliance - making others responsible for your sense of safety and worth.
  • Staying in your head rather than being present in your body
  • Self-judgment, shaming yourself
  • Obsessive thinking, ruminating, worrying
  • Resistance to self, others, spirit - to taking loving care of yourself

These forms of self-abandonment not only perpetuate fears of rejection, abandonment, aloneness, engulfment or failure, but they can contribute to illness. Inner Bonding is a powerful process for healing self-abandonment and learning to love and value yourself.

Through discussions, exercises and direct work with Dr. Margaret Paul or other Inner Bonding Facilitators, you learn the Six powerful Steps of Inner Bonding.

"Transformational Beyond Words!  My heart and soul and true essence overflow with love and gratitude.  I'm so eager and excited to go home and do Inner Bonding, and share this with my husband and son, and most of all MYSELF at any given moment." Kripalu Workshop, Margaret Dean Godhard, Mom, Educator, Gainesville, GA

Daily Inspiration

Love has no conditions upon which it is withdrawn. It is steadfast, even when we do not receive what we want and others behave in ways that we do not like. Approval comes and goes, but Love is, by definition, that which is unconditional. Strive today for unconditional love with yourself and others.

Enriching and empowering weekend of learning to take care of the most important thing in your life - you.  Connecting to self and something bigger than yourself for guidance and healing were profoundly informative.  Great price, gentle approach, accessible, embodied what was practiced, taught - great experience and role model.

'I found it to be a valid approach to breaking down the beliefs, resistance that prevents me from owning my feelings and controlling or taking responsibility for my own actions.  Though it seemed a lot to absorb in one weekend, it definitely gave me the resources to practice and learn more.  I left feeling much more in control and with a sense of relief about some difficult personal situations.'   Inner Bonding Weekend Workshop, Rowe, MA, 4/10

'A total discovery of recovery, healing and hope.  It is a belief in the joy of the ability to become you.' Rowe, MA Workshop, 4/08
Jane Tougas

'This workshop was challenging, amazing, spot on - exactly what I have needed forever to move through the stuck (agonizing at times) places in my life & in my relationships.  I've realized that I have choice at my disposal, choice to come to my own aid & support rather than endlessly succumbing to feelings of helpless & victimized.  Thank you for helping me reclaim myself at mid-life!'   Inner Bonding Weekend Workshop, Rowe, MA, 4/10

"Love, love, loved the workshop! Working in a small group with other was very helpful. I hope to do more book studies in Missouri in the future. Inner Bonding is a loving, healing process. So Good! I recevied the emails with great articles the I share with my recovering friends. Great food for that. So grateful a friend saw my suffering and recommended your website. Ive been able to heal my traumas and share with others"  Kripalu 9.18
