The Inner Bonding
Workshop offers a definitive technology for developing a
spiritually-connnected loving inner Adult that becomes the loving
parent to ourselves that we may have never had.
Unless we were raised by
parents or caregivers who were loving to themselves, each
other and to us, we have not learned to be loving Adults. As
a result, we operate from our ego wounded selves, controlled by
our fears and false beliefs.
The wounded part of us
often takes over in unloving ways, tramples on our hurts,
shuts them out, or covers them up. This internal split
creates the serious self-destructive patterns many of us
face, such as:
Addictions to: drugs,
food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work or
sex.
Codependence: trying
to control others with anger, violence, guilt or
compliance.
Fears of: rejection,
abandonment, aloneness, engulfment or
failure.
Dr. Margaret Paul and other Inner Bonding Facilitators
demonstrate the dialogue processes with your Core Self,
your wounded self and your Higher Guidance that Inner Bonding
recommends for self-healing.

Dr. Margaret Paul and other Inner Bonding Facilitators offer five-day
intensive workshops for both individuals and couples. The
workshop maximum of twelve participants provides a safe,
intimate, caring environment for individual guidance in
exploring deeper issues. Through Inner Bonding, you learn to
develop a loving Adult who connects deeply with your core
Self, your wounded self, and your Higher Guidance. We work
with Inner Bonding eight to nine hours daily, giving
participants plenty of time for individual work.
In the couples intensive, you do
both individual and couple work. The relationship system is
addressed and each person is helped to understand his or her
part of the system. You learn how to create a safe, sacred
relationship space within which to resolve conflicts, as
well as the necessary tools to resolve conflict in ways that
lead to increased intimacy. Being a part of other couples'
work helps you to understand your own system in a loving and
non-threatening environment. However, many couples choose to attend the regular Intensive.

The Mini-Workshop is a shorter version of the Weekend Workshop. The Mini-Workshop offers an overview of Inner Bonding along with demonstrations, questions, and an experience of the Six Steps of Inner Bonding. In addition, participants are taught how to contact their personal spiritual Guidance. See the description of the Weekend Workshop for more details.
The hosted chat is hosted by Dr. Margaret or an Inner Bonding facilitator. Often a subject, such as relationships, addictions, boundaries, or parenting is chosen for the topic. Other times, it is open to any discussion.
Support groups are periodic meetings where you can get individual help with your Inner Bonding process. Some groups are for beginners while others are for more advanced Inner Bonders. Some support groups are in person and others are on the telephone. Dr. Margaret and other Facilitators periodically offer telephone support groups.

A Testimonial
The Ossining Intensive was powerful and incredibly healing. Michael and Nancy made a truly safe - and sacred - place for us in this lovely old farmhouse. They helped us explore the defenses we had created against extremely painful memories, losses and fears from childhood, all with the intent to know and love ourselves more deeply. They are so grounded in this wonderful Innerbonding process -- and it works! Nancy brings her strength and Mother Earth presence and Michael his persistent, gentle spiritual connection: a dynamite combination! The meditations, dancing, hilarious story-making, inner child's play like blowing bubbles, and Notessence collages of our core selves all helped create community and gave us a way to integrate this profound experience. We were empowered and transformed. And we laughed as much as we cried. This was my third intensive
and filled with gratitude for the way my life has changed over 15 months.
Thank you Nancy and Michael for the gift of seeing ourselves through the eyes of grace. Thank you for the privilege of being with other beautiful souls and sharing a part of their journey.
