"When I came to the Intensive I came as a wounded little girl.  As I leave today I leave with a greater insight, perspective and acceptance for my wounded self, love for my little girl and excitement about the doors I am opening for myself.  The tools and techniques I've learned have already had a profound impact.  I know as I practice and exercise these tools, my joy and love will grow with me." Durango, CO Intensive, 4/08

'My third Intensive was surprisingly revelatory, in that I was finally able to access and process some deep woundedness that I had not fully recognized before.  I feel more whole than I did five days ago.  Yeah!  Thank you, Margaret and my fellow brave participants.' Colorado Intensive, 4.12

"This workshop has been an enlightening experience for me. Inner Bonding has taught me to be compassionate with myself and the people who are important to me. I am grateful for the learning and for sharing my experience with a very special group of individuals." Santa Fe Intensive, 10/06

The most outstanding moment for me in the intensive was when I saw [a member of the intensive] as a one and a half year old, isolated from family and all that was familiar, faced with the decision of whether to live or die. And she chose life. As I understood the majesty of her decision, deep respect for her poured into me and filled me to overflowing. I was awed and honored to be in her presence. I had similar moments with many of the others in the group. I believe that it is from that position of deep respect for a person that I can actually be a conductor of love and light from God to his child. I want to do that. Today is Sunday, our Sabbath. We are fasting today, and I was reading in Isaiah: Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thy own flesh?... And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. ...and thou shalt be called , The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.' (Isaiah 58:6-7, 10-12 King James Version) So, Margie, that is my name for you : Margie -The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. I think it is a beautiful name that fits you well. I love the new path that I dwell in. There is more light here. Thank you for the true reflection of who I am. I remember the look on your face when you told me about meeting me for the first time. It has been a great source of peace and comfort to me. Thank you."

My experience of these five days of Inner Bonding was one of the most healing and enlightening times. It was all wrapped up for me in the last day of jumping in and allowing my little child her place in my life. She is now alive, seen and fully appreciated. Thank you, thank you."
