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

You will feel alive when your intent is to love yourself and others. You will feel flat and empty when your intent is to have control over getting love and avoiding pain. You can change your intent from moment to moment, and your feelings change with your intent. Today, notice your feelings, then notice your intent.

"Very positive. My first workshop of any kind; really, the first time I've truly looked into myself. I've suffered from depression and addictions since I was in my early teens, reaching a crescendo of late. Lest I lose my family, I need to do this. So far, so good. I really enjoyed it, even though painful." Rowe Weekend Workshop, 5/06
Mark Blais

"Intimate, life and love changing for me. Has deepened my commitment to Love - of myself, family, friends, people. Has deepened my commitment of who/what I love already - Nature, Love, Hearts and unknown." Rowe Weekend Workshop, 5/06
Kara Masters

"It felt so very safe and each person was so full of love and support for each other. It was a place to feel your pain." Los Angeles Workshop, Sept. 1999
Robyne Harrington

For me this has been about communication and expectations in relationships.  I feel less likely to take anything for granted and more likely to be more open and giving.  Simply, thank you Margaret for helping me to see what has been there for me to see the whole time but now with eyes opened wider.  This has truly been consciousness expanding.  It all worked for me, even the revelations which did not necessarily apply to my relationships or me. 


Paul James

"I found it very helpful and I gained a new inner awareness about myself. I learned so much about myself and my behaviors and got real concrete tools on how to be focused on taking care of myself."
Julie Fields

"I arrived, terrified at the prospect of revealing myself in the work process. As the walls came tumbling down with the tears, I was finally able to open to myself and my group. It was such a tremendous release and relief to know that my primary focus is to become a loving person, and to do that I need to (get to) take care of myself. Margaret creates a wonderfully loving safe environment for beautiful healing things to happen." Rowe, MA Workshop, April, 2000
