'Inner Bonding give you the power to support yourself and the confidence that you do not need to rely on others for your self worth.  At the Intensive, you get personal guidance to notice when your wounded self hijacks the healing process.  It is valuable to learn from other's experiences which parallel your journey.  Feeling acceptance and compassion for others in the group proves that you have the capability for acceptance and compassion for yourself.' Santa Barbara Intensive 2.14

'If you want to live before you die, if you want a true taste of freedom, peace, love and joy - this is the way.'  Colorado Intensive 10.14

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!

"The Inner Bonding Intensive has been the most profound gift, and the best part is that I have come to the understanding through this Intensive that the most valuable gifts we receive are the ones we give ourselves.  To deeply nurture and validate what our inner child is saying is our access to feeling whole again, just as we were in the womb.  I am excited about the journey back to myself that I have now embarked on."

"This was an incredible learning experience.  Seeing first hand, Inner Bonding put into practice is beyond words.  I now know how to use words & define feelings to look after myself, and that is truly all that matters.  Margaret Paul is an amazing, compassionate woman.  She has changed the way I will view life.  I wish I knew this 20 years ago - for me & my children."

"Given the opportunity to share what the 5-Day Intensive meant to me I decided to wait and as a new bonding buddy put it 'give this testimonial the energy it deserves.' I have been home a week, back into my life, and I have found the words to explain what the Intensive experience meant to me. When a person learns to drive, life is never the same. When you first leave home, get married, or have a child your life is never the same. Your perspective is changed forever. That's exactly what the Intensive was for me, life altering. I have practiced the tools of Inner Bonding as things came up this week and it works. I am living in a place of peace and joy that I have never been able to maintain before. The 5-Day Intensive has equipped me with tools and a support network to enjoy the journey called, the rest of my life." Santa Barbara Intensive, 1/07
