Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the purpose of the conference?
   
   The purpose of the conference is to provide an environment and structure where loving couples can build on the strengths in their relationship.  Couples are provided with an opportunity to explore concepts and feelings allowing relationships to grow and flourish.
   
   
2. What is the format of the conference?
   
   The conference is led by a couple who are professional facilitators; they provide information and lead participants in exercises for both couples and individuals.   The focus of the conference is to allow couples time to share with each other, so the facilitators design the sessions with this in mind.
   
   
3. Who are the facilitators?
   
   The facilitators are professionally trained couples’ therapists with extensive and varied backgrounds, and years of experience leading couples workshops.
   
   
4. How do you maintain a confidential setting with so many couples participating?
   
   The setting and room allows for private conversations between couples.  The sharing that happens between couples is not shared with other participants – unless they choose to. 
   
   
5. Is this conference for couples who are having relationship problems?
   
   The conference is for couples who are in a committed relationship and want an opportunity to learn more about each other to strengthen their bond.  It is not intended to be couples therapy, or for couples who are currently experiencing significant struggles.

   No, many couples who are not married attend the conference.

9. Why is the conference held at Chateau Lake Louise?
   
   When choosing a facility we determined the appropriate location by looking at factors such as suitability for conference sessions, a location that couples would consider a relaxing "retreat" away from it all and high value at a reasonable cost.
   
   
10. Why do participants have to stay at the Chateau to attend the conference?
    
    The conference room rate negotiated with the hotel is dependent on all participants registering for the room and meal package.  Also, we believe there are many benefits for couples in getting away from the distractions of their day to day lives; this also allows couples to focus more exclusively on their relationship.
    
    
11. Is there free time to enjoy the mountain setting?
    
    Yes, Saturday afternoon from about 2:30 pm until dinner is free time to explore the area.  You may also choose to arrive early Friday or stay extra nights, the hotel will honour the reduced conference rate for 3 day prior and 3 days post the conference.
