Frequently Asked Questions
1
What is unique about the conference? What type of topics will be presented?
Our conference is one of the few international events that addresses the integration of science and spirituality. Many attendees tell us that the event is life-changing because of the scope, universality and depth of significant topics covered. Some presenters will cover already known topics in the alternative, holistic or spiritual fields, while others will offer cutting-edge information that few people have heard about. The purpose of the conference is not just to provide attendees with new information, but to offer a space for integration so that real personal change is possible.
2
What is the main language of the conference? Do people speak English in Montréal?
All parts of the conference program and events will be presented in English, with many sessions being translated simultaneously into Spanish and French. Consult the official program for more details. Montréal is a French city where the majority of people understand and speak English. The city was first settled by the French, and one can hear people speak French throughout the city, which gives it a very European feel. However, English-speaking visitors have no problems visiting Montréal because it is a truly international city, being host to many world events.

Is the conference intended only for advanced spiritual seekers and top-level scientific researchers?
Our conference welcomes people from all backgrounds and levels of development. Our unique ten-day program is so rich and varied in content that both the curious novice and the expert metaphysician or researcher can find topics of great interest.

Does your program only include intellectual presentations and lectures? Do I have to pay for the mini-concerts and activities between workshops and lecture sessions?
We offer a balanced and holistic program, which includes many lectures, hands-on workshops, musical presentations, silence or guided meditations, classes, spirit contact demonstrations sessions and joyful events. The Conference is a fun international networking opportunity where attendees meet and share common interests. Session prices include preludes and postludes. Only presentations identified as “OPTIONS” entail additional charges. Note that there is a $20 surcharge for non-current SSF-IIIHS members (2016–2017). For non-members who plan to attend only one session, the surcharge will be waived.

Our programs are sure to offer many topics of interest to all, irrespective of their model of the world.

What happens once the conference ends? Will I be left alone in my personal quest for knowledge, wisdom, well-being or wholeness?
