"To say that this was a transformational experience does not begin to describe what occurred. I came to the intensive from a very wounded place and in this loving and nurturing environment, I began to love me and without labor wrote the following: I caught of glimpse of myself in the mirror and then I really looked. I saw me. I really saw me. I am beautiful. I was able to see what others see. My eyes sparkle like magic, my smile has the warmth of a very dear friend. At this very moment, I fully love me! The war is over and I am no longer alone. I did not need to envision myself as the wounded little girl to feel love and compassion. I felt love purely for my essence. Just me. No strings attached, no if only's, no judgements. How incredibly beautiful." Lucerne Valley, CA, June, 2000

'I had never done a spiritual retreat before and was somewhat resistant.  But Margaret creates a loving, safe space for the group that allows everyone to open up.  Even a skeptic like myself.  Margaret provides real insight into childhood wounds and how we carry them around in our current personalities and relationships.  Inner Bonding becomes the answer to everything.  All our hang-ups, false beliefs and issues with control become transparent in one conversation with Margaret  This is one of the most valuable days I have spent in my life for myself and my relationship, and it makes me excited to learn more about my own processing and creating Inner Bonding as a regular practice.'

"I traveled from Belgium to California to attend the Intensive, and am very happy I did. I was looking for a more open and trusting relationship with myself and others. The Inner Bonding process has helped me tremendously to resolve inner and outer conflict in a nurturing way. I found it also very empowering as a practice I can carry on myself after the Intensive. And most of all, it has also opened for me a clear path to an even more joyful life. I am very excited at this new energy I'll be bringing home." Lucerne Valley Intensive, 11/06

"In a supportive and loving environment, I was able to explore my thoughts, behaviors and intentions when in relationship to myself and others. The Inner Bonding process offers a way to freedom, clarity and joy. If you are ready to take full responsibility for yourself, open to what is possible for you and experience an Intensive."

It has been one week since our intensive came to a close, and I find myself quietly reflecting in gratitude for the experience. And yet, the first phrase that comes to mind to describe it is MIND BLOWING (although mind expanding would probably be a more apt term!). The Inner Bonding system is an amazingly inclusive approach to healing, bridging the gap between psychological and spiritual truth in a wonderfully integrative way, illuminating no gap ultimately exists. For me, this has worked almost magically, helping to connect different parts of myself which I've spent years fearfully defending. And on a deep, intrinsic level, this has created a more authentic, intimate experience of Self -- interpersonally and intrapersonally. I still have a long way to go, but somehow, I've walked away from our time together with a somatic knowing that I'm more than up for the ride -- it is indeed, as Margie describes, a sacred privilege. I met two of my spiritual guides for the first time on this journey, and luckily for me, they both agreed to come back with me to New York!

"Words fail in describing the sheer brilliance of the Inner Bonding process.  I have been in intensive therapy, 12-step and other self-help studies consistently for over a decade, and Inner Bonding has provided a key to unlocking true healing.  The Intensive was fun, challenging, intense, freeing and eye opening.  Five days is the perfect amount of time to take a journey from the bondage of self to self love and freedom.  I've made connections to the other participants that I hope will last a lifetime."
