Margaret Paul’s materials are amazing, and yet, she was even better in  person! Margaret’s modeling of being a “loving adult” throughout the  intensive and her incredible facilitation skills with participants was invaluable.  Inner Bonding is the “missing piece” I’ve been yearning for on my path of  personal, spiritual development. I’m so grateful that I had the space in my life  to take those 5 days. I’ve already made a huge shift that would not have been  possible without this experience.  

The Inner Bonding Intensive and Dr. Margaret Paul's wisdom, attention, and love brought out things that would have taken years to uncover in traditional therapy. I am more present, in the intention to learn, and have forged a stronger connection to my higher guidance - all in 5 days! I now more readily acknowledge the many deeply painful feelings that I formerly ignored. I also recognize the varied addictive behaviors I employ to avoid those uncomfortable feelings. Ive uncovered a slew of false beliefs that were causing me grief. Importantly, I've learned that I need to acknowledge my essence (innate talents and gifts) and to insure that I make time for the things I love in my busy life. Best of all, I now have the tools to heal and comfort myself and I own the fact that only I must learn to give myself the attention, approval, acknowledgment, and love that I need. Besides all that....the other participants were kind, supportive, and loving, the retreat compound was breathtakingly beautiful, and the food was delicious, healthy, and plentiful! Hiking in the desert hills, soaking in a hot tub with a view of the mountains, viewing a full sky of constellations (for the first time in many years) were also a special part of my Inner Bonding Intensive journey in Lucerne, CA. I highly recommend the Intensive to anyone seeking a deeper sense of self love and appreciation along with a solid connection to one's spiritual guidance. I will never forget this experience! L.A.

The 5 day intensive has been the most healing experience of my life.  I’ve worked with a mentor for 4 years and benefited greatly, but this is where it all really came together. From the love and support of Margaret, Shel and the other participants, to the wisdom learned, from the role modeling given of how we can honor our inner child, develop our adult selves, and go to our guidance, to the healing natural surroundings – it has all come together.  I want to come back every year!  I feel such a sense of hope and peace that I can go back home and take this love and healing with me. I have the tools now - NO DOUBT.  Now I plan to have God go with me and help me do this work.  I am never going to be alone.

"This 5 day intensive is a powerful transformative experience where Dr Margaret gently guides you through the process of coming back to who you really are. Being within a group of people who are eager to lovingly understand themselves and others better is extremely supportive as we witness each other and share our human experience. Though I had good knowledge of inner bonding having read Dr Margaret’s books and engaging in online courses, nothing really compares to the deep immersive experience of the intensive workshop. It was such a privilege to work individually with Dr Margaret and to watch her work with others, each day brought new learnings, insights and change. This work is challenging and sacred, there were many tears and I faced parts of myself I had hidden for years. Through all of this I always felt very safe and trusted the space, there was no judgement and all parts of me were welcome which allowed me to be fully myself. For anyone who not only wants to learn but to fully live inner bonding I encourage you to engage in this life-changing experience." October 2024 Virtual Intensive

'During one of the lowest points in my life, the five-day Intensive was a truly transformational experience.  The beauty, safety and openness of this experience is unique and full of joy and learning.  Dr. Margaret Paul is an incredible soul and has a gift that is truly spiritual and ultimately insightful.'

In the first 5 minutes of work we did in the intensive, we moved further than we did in an entire year of couples therapy. The environment was wonderfully loving, supportive and non-judgmental. At the same time, it was a highly effective environment in which to learn and grow. I came into the intensive open and ready to grow. I got more than I bargained for! My husband came into the intensive skeptical. He left his skepticism behind long before the end of the first day. This was a tremendously valuable experience for me as in individual, for us as a couple, and for us as parents. In addition to the Inner Bonding process - which I consider a valuable tool, I came away seeing clearly the dynamics of my relationship with my husband which does produce good results, and more importantly, what I can do to create more loving, fulfilling relationships in my life. -- Couples Intensive, Santa Fe, NM, 2002
