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 can we control? We can control how we treat ourselves and others. We can control our own intent to be loving or unloving, open or closed, learning or protected, surrendered or controlling. What can't we control? We can't control others' feelings, behavior and the outcome of things. Today, notice what you do have control over and what you only have influence only, and how you feel when you try to control that which you can't control.

'Fantastic.  Just what I needed.  Not only did I learn more about the 6-Step process, but I found my Spiritual Advisor.  Also, learning that I'm the only one can control my happiness.  Stop looking outside for approval from the outside, we have to love ourselves.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.10
Debbie Kasinskas

'I'm so glad and happy that I took this Workshop, it has helped me so much.  I can relate to most of what was covered.  I'm now taking the steps to love myself.  I always thought that I was going to get it from someone else.  I now know that I'm going to get love from myself.  Thank you.' Rowe, MA Workshop, 5.12

'There are so many pieces falling into place, leading me to a deeper knowing of how to handle my life and relationships.  The tools are invaluable and clear and easy to use.  I am just so very happy I came to be a part of this!' Los Angeles Weekend Workshop, 3.11
Caroline Waters

"I feel like a lot of questions have been answered and that I have a whole new toolbox to take into the world that will help me love myself and those around me. It was an extremely useful training in accurate self-care - an area where I have been really stuck. A few very important reminders, a few pieces of 'diamond dust' - new revelations."
Rev. Alexia Salvatierra

"Appreciate so much your authenticity!  I wasn't feeling too well, but got a lot out of the workshop - and felt it was thorough, beneficial and inspiring.  Was able to stay present, engaged, learned so much from the demos." Rowe, MA Workshop, 4/08.
Sheena Bhatia

'For anyone who is put off by the idea of 'spiritual' or 'higher power' - DON'T BE!  This workshop effectively helps you connect with your own wisdom from which it is so common to feel separated.' LA Workshop, 3.7.10
