I am not new to personal growth. The intensive propelled me to a whole new level of understanding myself, my life and what I still need to do to heal. Nothing I have ever done has had as deep an impact on what it's like to be me as did this workshop.

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

"My second intensive here has been a wonderful experience. I noticed I was different from the first intensive by a large degree in that I did not feel the overwhelming need for approval. I feel I was here to work and that's what I did. The space held was extremely safe. Margie, Valerie and Colin really supported each person often through some very difficult work. I could really feel their love for us and the work. The repetition of the Six Steps really helps to start to get it in your body. The issues others worked on often related to my own issues and their work brought up mine to look at. Retreat Centre - loved it - felt comfortable - the views are magnificent, the energy is peaceful and alive - food exquisite." Santa Fe, New Mexico - 4/2001

"The [virtual] intensive was actually a very energizing experience. I learned that I was settling for less than I wanted for my life. That patterns of behavior are just that, patterns and that can be changed if I make the decision and take the actions to do so. "

'The Intensive was truly amazing. I had read Dr. Paul's literature and was already seeing the positive results of the Inner Bonding process in myself and my marriage. The Intensive took it to a much higher level by giving us the opportunity to practice and apply the Inner Bonding steps with Dr. Paul's guidance. It was like having the opportunity to ride a bicycle after having only read how to do so. My wife and I both had major breakthroughs which I am certain will improve our marriage. It was incredibly helpful and educational to see the other members of our group practice the Inner Bonding process during individual and couple's sessions with Dr. Paul. in a group therapy setting. It was also helpful for my wife and I to see three other couples experiencing the same issues we were experiencing and see them learn to apply the Inner Bonding process to resolve their conflicts.'

"I find it hard to put into words, mostly because I cannot put love into words. I know now what it means to be my own best friend. What's more, I have the tools for being that friend. I'm profoundly thankful." Lucerne Valley, CA
