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
What do you do in conflict? Do you learn or do you run? Do you use conflict as an opportunity to evolve your soul in love, or do you do all you can to avoid the conflict? We can learn much through adversity. People who have it easy are often not nearly as strong as people who have had to overcome adversity. Today, embrace conflict as a wonderful opportunity to learn.

'This was the greatest thing I ever did for myself. Taking this step forward knowing that I have a tool box with all the tools I need to start my Journey. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to start loving themselves.' Weekend Workshop - Kripalu - Lenox, MA 9.14
Sara Serra
"Inestimable value. It provides the truth; the truth necessary for any healing work to be effective; the framework to ensure that whatever tools you work are applied with the right intent. Thank you for helping to birth this work and for continuing to offer your gift to others. Very nice work you're doing!"
Jeff Meyer
'Very helpful in getting, (beginning), to get in touch with myself. Seeing how I'm sabotaging my relationships. Regular therapy hasn't gotten to the core of my problems/issues. This has. I'm hopeful things will change for me now.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.10

"I wanted to write and again express my appreciation to you for the workshop on Inner Bonding you recently conducted here. All of us involved in putting together the workshop feel that it was a tremendous success. I have heard from several participants that although they had already read your books on the Inner bonding process, having the opportunity to hear you and work with you directly was immensely beneficial."
Larry Bass, Ph.D.
'I wanted to attend this workshop, no obstacle would have prevented me from attending. At the workshop I was able to immerse myself in the process, previously, I only read the instructions on your website. I specifically liked learning about all of the ways that we deny ownership & responsibility for our Inner Child, and all of the ways we can integrate this Inner Child into our lives. I did benefit in understanding dynamics of relationships much better, and in understanding false belief systems and how they sabotage our happiness. I would recommend the Workshop because it is excellent for achieving awareness of how to evolve into a better person. I am grateful for this experience. It has opened up my understanding of my life.'
