"It has been my second intensive. I can not say with words how the whole Inner Bonding process has affected my life. For the first time in my life I'm feeling hopeful. I feel that there is a way out and that it is in my hands. I deeply thank God for bringing me here, for the people, for the space, for the assistants and for Margaret Paul. And I thank my Inner Kid for forgiving me and still loving me. Thank you all." Lucerne Valley, CA - 11/2000

"'Hello good world' said the cat. during a pause at the inner bonding five days intensive i was walking the streets in my city and i was passing a little white and black cat. i felt kind of drawn to her. i greeted her and talked to her, and she came closer. i was feeling good, and i caressed her. she liked it and blinked with her eyes. 'hello good world' she suddenly said. 'i know how the world works', she said to me. 'so do i', i told her. 'It is all about bringing love into the world'! 'yes' she said, and you are very welcome to join me in it'. 'i know what you have been through', she continued, 'and from now on life for you will start to get better'. 'yes, dear cat, i said 'thanks to Dr. Margaret Paul I was made aware so beautifully what love really is, to pay attention to my feelings, and how to get past old trauma and heartbreak.' 'Good, said the cat, 'nice to meet you', and again she blinked with her eyes. 'Say greetings to Margaret'. 'Oh yes, I'll do that' I said 'and goodbye dear cat, thank you for letting me join the new good world!' ...And now i can stand firmly on the ground. i belong to this good world. it's the same world as before but now i see all the good i was not aware of. Hidden talents also came out... see cat story above. it was the first time i had the feeling to belong to a group...deep hidden emotions and pain of each of us were healed...together we have held a beautiful safe space where i was feeling accepted and loved."

"This experience has been a blessing.  Inner Bonding gave me tools to help with listening, comforting and healing my inner child.  I would recommend this work to anyone that is willing to care for them selves, because you are deserving of self worth and much more." Colorado Intensive, 10/08

"This has been my third intensive and I'm so full of gratitude. I've healed so much since my last one. I've had so many changes in my life that if someone had told me that this was going to happen, I would have thought they were crazy or mad. Thanks to Inner Bonding,I'm enjoying life more and more and freeing myself gradually of all the blocks, false beliefs and addictions that were deeply instilled in me. Thank you, Margie, thank you God and thanks to myself." February 2002 - Lucerne Valley, CA

"Having studied Inner Bonding for close to a decade now, I’m constantly amazed how every time I attend an intensive [even one on Zoom], I learn how much deeper I can go in this work to grow my Loving Adult and to live a life of peace, and joy, instead of fear, anxiety and sadness.

"Attending a 5-day intensive with Dr. Margaret Paul is always phenomenal and uplevels your practice of Inner Bonding and your capacity to grow a Loving Adult with your Guidance in the most powerful way possible. 

"What's especially amazing about doing a VIRTUAL intensive, is not only do you get access to some of the best IB facilitators who are able to join from all parts of the world, as well as the company of phenomenal other participants from all corners of the globe who might not otherwise have made it, but you also have the opportunity to VIDEO RECORD your sessions with Dr. Margaret Paul. The value of this added benefit cannot be underscored enough. As you watch the replay of your Zoom recording, you can watch your face as you move into your Wounded Part, and as you open to learn with guidance. And as a result you can literally SEE yourself in the process of self-abandoning or opening to learn, moment by moment. There's no greater gift in my mind you can give yourself than this - the priceless gift of Dr. Paul's always spot-on insightful feedback, coupled with the recording of yourself and your habitual ways of moving from indulging your Wounded Selves to then moving into your Loving Adult with Guidance. And the feedback on WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR ESSENCE from Margaret and the other participants is priceless.

"My IB practice is up levelled at least 200% every time I attend an intensive. And while they're virtual, they're a steal without the costs of flights or room and board. Plus you get the benefit of bringing into the sessions actual real-life events going on with your family, friends, colleagues or lovers, so it's super powerful real-time practice. 

 "So if you're even considering deepening your journey to mastering self love, run, don't walk to join Margaret's next intensive, either virtually or in person. You will thank yourself for a lifetime that you did. "
