Although it is impossible to actually describe the intensive experience, I will make the following attempt. I experienced true healing of emotional and spiritual wounds, the warmth of an open loving environment, and the grace and love that is God. Prior to the intensive I was a carpenter with no hammer and no diagram. The intensive experience and Inner Bonding have given me the tools with which to build the "dream house" that is my life and access to the plans. Since the intensive I have felt like a caged bird who has been given the freedom to fly. Just as a side note, the accommodations were wonderful. The food was excellent. Lucerne Valley, Royal Way Ranch and the desert were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Lucerne Valley, 7/01

'My experience of the Intensive was being part of a diverse group of the most amazing people - each there for their own growth yet learning from the work of each other member.  Dr. Margaret Paul teaches the actual Inner Bonding process through the direct work she does with each participant and she creates a safe, supportive and nurturing environment where I was privileged to see each member of our group make life-changing breakthroughs.  The best part is that I am leaving here knowing how to continue my growth using the Inner Bonding process.'  Colorado 5-Day Intensive - June 2015

'It was an incredible experience of growth, learning and healing.  It was so important for me in terms of breaking through my denial, and to be able to make that commitment to myself to being loving.  What I liked most about the Intensive is that it is life-changing when I apply all the tools that I've learned.  The intensity of the personal experience in addition to learning from others' experiences allows for deep healing and transformation.  Some benefits of the Intensive are seeing tremendous role modeling of being a Loving Adult.  It is a safe, loving community that is formed.  You are able to create life-long connections and relationships with like-minded individuals.  I feel such gratitude for Margaret and this experience - what an incredible gift!'

"Grateful for this beautiful work.  The difference of being in an intensive for me, vs. the other Inner Bonding programs I participate in, is the slow build of experiencing Margaret work with each person.  Each person has a gift that they offer the group that Margaret helps them open and share with all of us.  This slow build, for me, helps to stir up my stuck places: for example, places where I was not aware that I was caretaking, places where I was unable to forgive myself, places where I was lost in confusion without clarity.  These stuck places are then able to move with Margaret facilitating the Inner Bonding process.  

"The role-plays are so powerful.  Really learning HOW to love ourselves, having a process.  That’s empowering. So glad I don’t have to keep searching.  This works for me!" - March Virtual Intensive 2023

"This was one of the best weekdends of my life. Such love, support, deep healing, growth and fun too. The layers of the wounded self are so deep and tricky. Each intensive I attend with an intention to learn I'm able to explore and heal the same core issues at a deeper level and move thru them much more quickly. Thanks to Margaret and the group for such a deep, rich and delightful experience. If you have attended a 5 day intensive give yourself a gift of an advanced intensive, it is sooo worth it."

"This intensive was truly one of the most remarkable experiences I have ever had. To be able to release years of anger and sadness in such a safe environment was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. This safe, sacred community and space will last with me for a lifetime. I look forward to bringing what I have learned into the world! I feel so alive." Couples Intensive, Santa Fe, 8/05
