FAQ's

How do I register for the conference? 
You can visit our website (which has been revamped—thank you, Culturesphere!) and head to the conference tab for our  Our Work Our Play Therapy Conference – Therapy + Support Healing Partner.
 
How much does the conference cost? 
The cost is broken down into four categories:   Conference Fee, Resort Fee, Flight and Travel Insurance. 
 
The total cost will depend on when you register, how many people are in your room, how many nights you stay, and when you purchase airline tickets.  It is estimated that this trip can be done for $3500.00 or less.
 
I have a room booked; can I add people to my room at a later date?
Yes! At least one person should pay the deposit to hold the room. If others (up to four people in total) would like to pay later, they can. Just remember that all funds must be paid in full by August 31, 2024.
 
I want to bring family / friends who are not mental health professionals.  Is this an option?
Absolutely! They must be in a room with a registered professional to qualify for conference resort rates and amenities. Additionally, you can register them for the Shades of Chocolate Mixer and the Formal Dinner if they would like to attend a la carte.
 
How long can I stay at the resort?
To receive the conference resort rate, rooms can be booked between October 22, 2025, and October 28, 2025.
 
Can I be a speaker or workshop facilitator? 
You are welcome to submit the form on the website under the conference tab by the end of March. Selected speakers will be notified by the end of May. In the meantime, make sure to put down your deposit to secure your room if you still plan to attend. Preference will be given to those already attending the conference.
 
Are speakers paid?
Since this is our first conference and we don’t have a large budget, we view this as an opportunity to share and network. If you require payment, please submit the Request to be a Speaker form with your request, and we will see what we can accommodate for those selected.
 
Are there sponsorship opportunities?
Absolutely! Please submit the Sponsorship form under the Conference tab to learn more and remit payment. Thank you!
 
Do I have to pay it all up front?  
No. A deposit of $150.00 will secure your room and provide a discount if purchased during a discounted period. Your entire trip must be paid by August 31, 2025.
 
Will there be CEUs?
We are currently working to see if we can make this happen, so stay tuned for more information.
 
How do I book my flight?
You can book your flight from wherever you’re coming from at [http://soulminedestination.inteletravel.com/](http://soulminedestination.inteletravel.com/).
 
How do I keep informed of what is happening? 
Once you register, you will receive a welcome email containing all the information you need for payments, questions, etc. Later in the process, a Facebook group will be created to keep everyone updated.
 
Do I need a passport?
YES! Get it as soon as possible to ensure all your affairs are in order. You don’t want any trouble at the gate!
 
How will I get from the airport to the resort? 
Once you have your flight details finalized, Chandra (who is also our travel advisor) will arrange your transportation. This information will be included in your welcome letter.
 
How much travel money should I bring?
The trip is all-inclusive, covering all meals and drinks. If you plan to go on excursions, shop, or explore off the resort, you will need funds for that. There are spa services available at a discounted rate, and there is also a casino on the resort, so be sure to bring enough for those extras if you choose.
