"The Intensive was excellent. The dream interpretation alone was worth the cost of admission. Margaret has an amazing ability to defuse a situation and have others open up with an intention to learn and grow. The location is great, the food is delicious, the staff is friendly and the schedule is just right." Lucerne Valley, CA Robert Corrington,Computer Geek Seattle,Washington 425/823-2944 Rcorrington@hotmail.com |

"I have welcomed the knowledge and the tools to enable me to begin my journey into becoming a more loving adult not only to myself but to others as well. I am seeing things in a different light! This morning I prayed for thy will to be my will and for guidance to actually be thy will. This is the first time I have prayed in years." Lucerne Valley, CA Becky Felder Dennis cuttinbwf@worldnet.att.net |

"I have come here to find myself. Why have I not known the most basic element of living? - Me. The reason for my confusion - control/resistance. I now have a hands on visceral experience, rather 5 days of getting to know my wounded adolescent and abandoned child. My hurt self has been living in a world that is predominated by addiction, fear, aloneness, and separation from God. The Inner Bonding process has shown that my feelings and spirituality give me the gift to love." Lucerne Valley, CA A. Eric Schlobohm,Yoga, Healer, Massage, Dancing Liberation Facilitator Santa Barbara,California 805/898-9239 aeschlobohm@usa.net |

"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."

I have never felt so able to be myself without being judged. It resulted in high hilarity and leaps forward in growth." Ossining, NY - August 25-29, 2000 Kate Goldsborough,Retailer Frauconia,New Hampshire 603/823-5890 |

"I believe my experience of the intensive is going to be life altering. I have learned techniques to help me overcome or at least live with my fear of abandonment and commitment. I feel in my heart and being that it will enable me to be able to be in a true heartfelt relationship. More importantly, a door has been opened where with work I am on the journey to become the woman I am truly meant to be. I am no longer so afraid of the unknown. Thank you for this gift."

"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 Agnes Griffey,Manages Battered Women's Shelter Fort Wayne,Indiana 219/471-9191 Aygriffey@aol.com |

"It has been enlightening to reveal parts of myself (mostly wounded) that I wasn't aware of. It has caused me to be responsible to the part of myself I have been ignoring for my entire life. The process I've started to integrate into my life - taking personal responsibility - has started me on a new path in my journey. In 5 days I've been given tools and have had examples of a responsible loving adult self. And I love it." Ossining, NY - August 25-29, 2000 Larry Penna,Pool and Spa Business Owner New Fairfield 203/746-0466 pennalj@earthlink.net |

"My experience was very validating and intense. I saw that I was not regressing as I though I was, but I was really going to deeper levels. Understanding why I didn't trust my own decisions and judgments has been so liberating and enlightening. 'I am the best authority on me.' Margie's peacefulness is so inviting and I enjoy tapping into her wisdom. She shares so freely of herself. She is truly a gift from God. Thank you, Margie!" Ossining, NY - August 25-29, 2000 Suzanne Lafleur,Facilitator/ Transcriber Moose Creek,Ontario 613/538-2967 Suemar@vegacom.on.ca |

"I felt the intensive brought me in touch with the wounded part of myself - the part that needs care and attention - in a direct, safe, and unambiguous way. I feel I have a new awareness now that will greatly speed the evolution of my soul's journey, and open the door to love and joy on my earthly path as well. The group was great!" Ossining, NY - August 25-29, 2000 John Collinge,Publisher/ Editor Lowell,Massachusetts 978/970-2728 progzine@aol.com |
|
"The intensive gave focus and immediate "feedback" to identifying the wounded child. Not only identifying woundedness in a visual and concrete way, but also the way/path to healing. Many disciplines are called upon in this healing process, the physical, psychic and spiritual. I appreciate the integrity of integrating mind/body/spirit moving quickly into the loving/compassionate adult. Focus on intention is a critical part of true healing." Ossining, NY - August 25-29, 2000 Ann Hartzog Hall,Psychotherapist Black Mountain,North Carolina 828/669-8738 hallannie@aol.com |

"This intensive provided the transformational opportunity to move through deep, protective layers of pain and reclaim my being - to connect with my core self, truly experience my value and finally allow the love and respect of others into my being. It felt as if it is the beginning of my aliveness. Thank you Margie for your love, patience, intuition and extraordinary skill in facilitating the access to my own power." Lucerne Valley, CA June, 2000 Colin Horowitz,CEO Los Angeles,California 310-457-2967 |
|
"To say that this was a transformational experience does not begin to describe what occurred. I came to the intensive from a very wounded place and in this loving and nurturing environment, I began to love me and without labor wrote the following: I caught of glimpse of myself in the mirror and then I really looked. I saw me. I really saw me. I am beautiful. I was able to see what others see. My eyes sparkle like magic, my smile has the warmth of a very dear friend. At this very moment, I fully love me! The war is over and I am no longer alone. I did not need to envision myself as the wounded little girl to feel love and compassion. I felt love purely for my essence. Just me. No strings attached, no if only's, no judgements. How incredibly beautiful." Lucerne Valley, CA, June, 2000 Cindy Young,Administration/Social Work Fort Wayne,Indiana 219-416-0208 cidyoung@aol.com |

"For the second time in my life I have felt extremely safe in an environment of love and care. I found myself sharing very intimate aspects of myself that I have never felt safe enough to share before now. Margaret and her staff's deep caring for each individual was most evident and contributed to depth of safety experienced in the group. I began to have an understanding of who I am in the world and it gave me a process to improve how I show up in the world. In my belief system we teach that every person is whole, perfect and complete, but Inner bonding provides the process for realizing one's wholeness, perfection and inner completion. I am deeply grateful for having arrived at this transformational junction on my journey." Davison, MI - September 2000 Angela Davis,Storyteller New Orleans,Louisiana 504/427-5625 yarnspinner@mindspring.com |

"I loved the work that I personally was able to do. What I like about the process is that it provides healing and understanding for all the wounded selves by hearing and feeling them - providing a tool to integrate them and most importantly a way to self love and self care through Spirit. Watching you as a professional was invaluable. I have never witnessed anyone honor individuals in the way you do. It is truly palpable and visible that your work is through spirit. A wonderful example of what our own work can be. Thank you for your genuine love for all of us and the universe. I also appreciated the assistants - supportive - fun - enjoyed dream work." Davison, MI - September 2000 Lee Mohrman,Counselor Ft. Wayne,Indiana 219/422-9372 |

"The intensive was a safe and nurturing place to explore feelings and false beliefs with compassion. I've explored many healing modalities and the Inner Bonding Process is by far the most comprehensive, effective process for deep, true change. I embrace the process wholeheartedly. The intensive was a wonderful way to experience the power, love and beauty of Inner Bonding - I leave with many tools, experiences and memories that will support me in my continued growth and the growth of my clients." Davison, MI - September 2000 Shelley Riutta,Psychotherapist Green Bay,Wisconsin 920/490-3726 sriutta@oneidanation.org |

"Extraordinary! Life changing! Attending with my mother was an unbelievable experience. It is changing our relationship (I never thought possible). We're planning to do this yearly together. I can't think of any other place that I could do the challenging work of facing the truth of who I am (all the parts). A truly sacred place for a sacred journey." Lucerne Valley, CA, June, 2000 Susan Rosenstein,Student and Mother Santa Monica,California 310-260-2307 bluebirdcap@earthlink.net |
|
"When I called Margie's office, Jan said, 'This is a life-changing experience,' At the other end of the phone, I thought, 'Yeah, right.' How do you change a 42 year old habit of being angry all the time in 5 days? I was in pain, so I came. I found out it wasn't about changing or fixing what was wrong with me. It's about embracing all of me, with courage, compassion, and love. I came alone. I'm going back home with a beautiful inner child who brings me wisdom, love and joy, and who is me. This has been phenomenal, and I know my life is forever changed." Lucerne Valley, CA, June, 2000 Marcia Tribolini,Business Owner Kiel 920-894-2132 mtribolini@hotmail.com |

"I came to the intensive seeking the keys I needed to go forward on my spiritual journey of reclaiming and healing my inner child, of bonding my soul and my Higher Self. In these 5 days I was helped to see particular parts of my inner experience, to which I've been previously asleep. I feel as if new pieces of my puzzle have been revealed, have been put into place. I can see another section of the picture, and feel empowered to go forward into new chapters. It has been priceless to experience this for myself, and to share with the friends I met their own similar, yet unique experiences. I have not encountered as powerful a healing technique anywhere else!" Lucerne Valley, CA June, 2000 Patrice Kaufman,Writer Emigrant,Montana 406-333-9542 mercurypub@aol.com |

"A warm, nurturing, loving experience. A safe place to open to your deepest fears, wounds and loneliness and walk away feeling whole, nourished and totally peaceful. It was time to connect with myself and spirit and really see the truth of who I am - who God created me to be." Lucerne Valley, CA June, 2000 Ginger Dixon,VP/Real Estate Investment Los Angeles,California 310-479-1606 gdixon@hometownamerica.net |

"I felt very safe. I had my cute and fun sides reflected back to me. I needed to see these authentic reflections in order to see myself. I leave this intensive knowing I have gained a great deal. After all the atoms realign themselves, I will be much more whole. I feel this process occurring. I feel more centered, more joyful and hopeful that I can leave here an deal with important challenges and relationships in a healthier way." Lucerne Valley, CA June, 2000 Leitha Spetzler,Past R.N and Past Preschool Teacher Portola Valley,California 650-851-9331 |

"The Couples Intensive helped to melt, unlock, unfreeze my pain and facilitated and supported my decision to take 100% responsibility for my own feelings. It led me to the antidote for the sickness of blaming." Lucerne Valley, CA, August, 2000 Jonathan Dariyanani,Venture Capitalist Santa Monica,California jonathan@cubicle8.com |
|
"I found the process to be extremely safe, accepting and loving. I believe it brings together many things, parts, pieces and theories and learnings that promote great change in a far greater way than any other venue I've found to date. Margie embodied the essence of accepting and honoring each individual without any judgement or hint of rejection. Not only did she offer a safe atmosphere for growth, she personally provided a safe 'holding' that allowed me to claim all that is good and mine." Davison, MI - September 2000 Lynn Taylor, MS LCSW, LMFT,Family Relations Division-Juvenile Probation Ft. Wayne,Indiana lymria@aol.com |
|
"Well done. I appreciate my personal work - a great opportunity for a therapist to do my personal work and to observe and learn. A unique opportunity to learn to connect to a 'Spirit Guide' and how to use it well. Margie, your calm 'stick-to-it-tiveness' helped me feel I could really get what I wanted. Your explanations and teachings brought safety and a sense of enlightenment to the room. The accommodations and food and surroundings were a delight." Davison, MI - September 2000 Joan Soble,Psychotherapist Toronto |
|
"I wanted to wait for a week after I finished the intensive to write this as I wanted to reflect on my experience and not just write while in the 'glow' of the moment. Happily, that 'glow' has continued to be with me. At the intensive I faced some very core issues that were blocking my personal and spiritual growth. The love, support, and help from Margie, Nancy, Kelly and the whole group allowed me to access these issues and develop the tools with which to resolve them. I am so grateful for the experience. Although I know I still have a lot of work to do, the Inner Bonding Intensive has made a profound difference in my life. I cherish the new friends I found there, including myself. When I read the testimonials on the web prior to attending, I thought they were perhaps a little exaggerated. I was wrong - there really is no way to express with words how incredible the experience was. A big smile and a huge hug might be a start." Los Angeles, Feb. 2000 Susan Connor,Vet Monroe,Washington (425) 778-6363 |
|
"I believe it was one of the most moving, intense moments that I have ever experienced in my life. I think the whole planet should experience this. It would really have people look at themselves and treat others in a more humane way. Thank you very much, Margie." Lucerne Valley, CA, May 2000 Timothy John Boerger,Musician Ft. Wayne,Indiana (219) 471-8278 |
|
"Inner Bonding offers a safe and loving place to explore and get rid of beliefs and actions causing us pain and allows us to become the special loving people we were meant to be." Davison, MI - September 2000 Marty Schoeff,Retired Educator Leo,Indiana 219/627-2884 majaros@aol.com |
|
"The intensive was totally a magical experience. The love and compassion that developed so quickly, as well as the group's ability to resolve conflict is such a loving and positive way, was remarkable. I made lifelong friends and really feel much more aware of my true self and of feeling loving towards myself. I also will do more of these - it's really the best "vacation" I have ever had!" Sharon Kane,Business Manager Los Angeles,California |
|
"I can't [share my experience]. I also can't share my experience of the ocean, the stars, my love for my children, my parents, my wife, my self." Los Angeles, March 2000, Couples Intensive Rick Sharp,Teacher Manhattan Beach,California 310-789-8243 rick@viapacifica.org |

It is a rare thing in life to experience unconditional love - a love that is both healing and liberating. Our five days together with Margaret Paul in the high desert was full of those profound, transcendent moments where fourteen souls became as one in a total unity of heart, mind, body, and soul. No judgment! Only love! For anyone who is deeply hurting and is seeking psychological and spiritual healing, five days with Margaret Paul will dramatically transform your life. She is a true mid-wife of the spirit with an awe-inspiring, infinite capacity to love. Your growth and gain will be determined by how much you are willing to risk and the depth you are willing to go. E. Gene Vosseler,Minister, Speaker, Counselor Alexandria,Virginia |

The Inner Bonding Intensive is an incredible experience. I was amazed at what was accomplished in 5 short days! I will say to my friends and family, 'Don't walk - run to the nearest Inner Bonding Intensive!.' Wanda Vosseler,Administrative Assistant Alexandria,Virginia |
|
"Here I have found the courage to push deep inside myself and give voice to the frightened wounded child inside me. Here have I learned the roots of my behavior, the painful truth that I was not raised, I was used. Here have I discovered that love of self is the first, best love, and with that beginning all else follows." Anthony Torchia,Programmer, Web Developer Los Angeles,California anthony_torchia@yahoo.com |
|
"This was my second intensive. I could not imagine that I could have an experience as profound as my first intensive, but I did! I have opened up in ways I never imagined were possible." Los Angeles, May, 2000 Ilene Weingarten,Consultant Los Angeles,California |
|
"I found this a moving, energetic experience. Watching others work as well as doing my work helped me see many of the areas where I need more work and awareness. It's like God reached down and gave me his hand and started me on a wonderful journey of self-discovery. My goal is to give myself this gift once a year." Los Angeles, May, 2000 Wanda McPhaden,Realtor Ridgefield,Connecticut (203)431-3111 wanda@askwanda.com |
|
"I find it so difficult to give feedback on the intensive, on this incredibly complex experience. The only thing I know is that ever since I have come back, I feel so much better. I was afraid that all this "magic" wouldn't work in the daily reality, but it does. It seems that a ton of weight has been taken off my shoulders, both metaphorically and literally: The tensions in my shoulders are gone. Life is fun again and I can appreciate every little moment (ok, almost every little moment). And even my environment (work and friends) notices this change, this new-found joy. What is most amazing to me is that we ourselves are able to accomplish all this, "just" by being loving parents to our inner child. This is such a powerful instrument. And the greatest gift that I took away from this intensive is that I could reintroduce my father in my life as my spiritual guidance. What I liked particularly is the safe environment (not to speak of this wonderful place in the desert); being guided on this quest of your inner child so lovingly by Margie and her team as well as through the work and the compassion of the fellow participants." Los Angeles, May, 2000 Christine Meusburger,Consultant Mountain View,California |
|
"The two main reasons I wanted to come to the intensive was to work on recent and past anger issues and address the shame I'm feeling about a failed marriage. At the conclusion of the workshop I feel I got even more than what I was looking for. Not only was I able to successfully resolve the above two issues but I also feel a much deeper sense of connection between my spirit guides and my inner core child. This was the greatest gift of all." Janet Hamilton,Manager Tigard,Oregon 503-590-2989 |
