What is Inner Bonding^®

Inner Bonding^® is a six-step process for transforming your life.  It teaches practitioners how to cultivate an internal "loving-adult" who is capable of caring for the parts of the self that need to be tended to.  Often, instead of taking care of ourselves, what we do is act from our habits and conditioning.  We learn how to "control and protect" in the face of fear because we don't know what else to do.  Inner Bonding^® teaches practitioners how to make loving choices in the face of fearful situations.  Instead of drinking alcohol, compulsively cleaning the house, or eating six donuts as a way to avoid feelings or situations, we learn how to cope effectively by learning to care for ourselves, to speak our truth to others, and to set boundaries where necessary. 

Inner Bonding^® also teaches us about our codependency.  Codependency is what happens when we are disconnected from our "core selves" (our truth, our inner child, our soul, or who we really are.)  When we are disconnected from our core selves, we try to "get" love, approval and safety from the world.  This brings us a lot of suffering because if it is true that love, safety and approval must actually be found outside of us, then we have to do a lot of things to try to "control" getting what we need.  Often we abandon ourselves, we act like someone other than who we are, or we do things we don't really want to do only because we want to be loved, taken care of or approved of by someone else.  Inner Bonding^® teaches us that the real source of our safety is a deep connection with ourselves (through our inner child) and with our spiritual guidance.  When we have enough experience and practice with this, and we find that there is love, safety and approval inside, we no longer feel compelled to abandon who we are to "get" what we think we need.  Instead, we find that we had what we needed all along!

If you feel disconnected from yourself, or feel that you need others to fill you up with love, safety or approval, Inner Bonding^® may be just what you need to learn to feel safe in the world and loved from the inside-out!

Forgiveness Circles

Your picture of the world can only mirror what is within.        The source of neither light nor darkness can be found without.  Grievances darken your mind, and you look out on a darkened world.  Forgiveness lifts the darkness...and lets you look upon a world of light.         A Course in Miracles, Lesson #73, 5:1-4

In each moment, we can choose to be "right" about our fear, our stress, our pain, our story--or we can choose peace instead.  We cannot have both at the same time.  Forgiveness Circles is a simple group process developed by Mark Lersch and Karen Kral that helps participants practice making the choice for peace.  Through our choice for peace, we can experience the natural flow of God's abundance, love and healing.

Forgiveness Circles provide a contemplative, sacred environment for participants to share about their pain, stress, fear, anger, shame, relationships and other struggles, and to receive support in turning these challenges over to the God of their understanding.

Forgiveness Circles offer guidance and spiritual support but are not therapy. 

All Forgiveness Circles are offered free-of-charge, with love offerings accepted for the host facility.
