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
The ego wounded self never wants to give up control, believing it knows more than your higher self. Today, notice who you are putting in charge - your wounded self or Spirit. When you put your wounded self in charge, you will feel anxious and stressed. When you surrender to Spirit being in charge, you will feel peace and joy.

“This workshop provided me with tools and insights that have inspired me to deeply love myself and care for myself. Both Margaret and Carla were such gentle, loving and kind guides through this journey and are very passionate about what they do. I recommend this program for anyone looking to deeply heal their relationship with themselves and move from a place of integrity and compassion. Thank you so much!”-2020

"Transforming! I've learned so much about us! It far exceeded my expectations. I found it very helpful to be here with a close friend, and even more helpful to know we will continue to dialog about our experiences here. The people that I met here also helped to enhance the process! [Margaret was] exceptional. Very knowledgable, open, and safe. A very good listener." Rowe, MA Workshop, April 2000

"The workshop gave me a new perspective about me as a person. Asking for guidance for a higher power and asking questions as as loving adult for my inner child. [Margaret] is an excellent speaker. Very knowledgable about her subject. I enjoyed her workshop." Kripalu 9.18

'I know I needed to work on myself and that I needed guidance in the best way to do that for myself. I've used many methods and modalities over the past 25 years. For me, the Inner Bonding process is a blend of all the parts of those modalities that worked for me. However they are all integated into one process that gets to the root of self love - truly loving myself.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.15 - Lenox, MA
Andrea Carta
"So helpful to reconnect to spiritual guidance and a reminder to stay present and keep returning to my loving adult. You're a natural presenter." Kripalu 9.18

It was wonderful and challenging experience. I have learned that I tend to be controlling, demanding and impatient and these tendencies are not serving my core self. I find that doing this inner bonding practice frightens me because I have become so disconnected from my core self over the years. It’s took a lot of courage to attend the retreat and I’m very proud of myself for coming and committing to the work.- 2019
