From my experience. I can tell you that the majority of participants are proactive in discussing their workshop participation with their partners before the weekend.
Hmm - how do you know? Maybe that is what you hope but I would opine that many attend and participate WITHOUT full discussion with their partners.
In any case full discussion is not an option because prior to a weekend few know what the activities or exercises will involve, and afterwards details cannot be discussed without breaking the agreement of secrecy. But in a committed relationship there should not be any secrets - yet HAI insists that details are not divulged. How can that promote love and respect between committed couples?
There is also the situation where an unattached male (or female) participates in intimate sexual activities with someone who IS attached to a partner who may or may not be present at the time. Even if this is by mutual consent it could open the door to further extra marital sexual activities after the weekend. In other words people are being taught that extra marital sex is OK. Therefore HAI is promoting swinging!!
After level 1 (used to suck people into the organisation), 'Love and Intimacy' certainly seems to take second place to Sexuality and Sex.
