"I went to the Ohler's place with my partner as part of
a romantic weekend
getaway and we were
treated like royalty.
I had contacted the owners, Dan and Carol, a couple of weeks prior to begin
planning, and it was there
that I knew how caring
they were.
Their positive attitude over the phone and through their emails confirmed that
Thinkin Outside the Barn
was the "perfect" getaway
for us.
Upon arrival we were greeted with the warmest smiles
that one could imagine
and the positive energy in
the house was contagious.
It was obvious that Dan
and Carol, through the years, have mastered the art of reading people and knowing exactly how much time to spend with us and how much time we needed to be alone.
These little details are why Thinkin Outside the Barn is one of the best couple's retreats in the world! We
have been to a number of retreats around the world,
but this was the first one where we felt so comfortable and surrounded with so
much positive energy. The workshops were specific to our relationship's strengths and to areas of
improvements which we loved.
There is no other couple's retreat that compares to Thinkin Outside the Barn
and if anyone is wanting to spark their relationship or simply to reassure that they are on the right track, then you must contact Dan and Carol and book your
couple's retreat, or any of their other services.
P.S. We would like to
thank Dan and Carol for
the amazing job they did!
We can't wait to book our next getaway at Thinkin Outside the Barn!!!"

- Since you’re
reading this, I’m guessing that is true, and I acknowledge you for your
honesty!!
You may have a good relationship with your spouse, fiancée, or partner
and yet you want your relationship to soar so it is more fulfilling,
intimate, romantic, and fun.
- Great! Now relax
where you are and get pleasure from where we are going with this.
-
- Having a super
relationship with a life-partner is an immensely rewarding and
satisfying experience, and for me it is my constant, unfailing grounding
that allows me to excel at whatever I choose to do personally and
professionally. I know without a doubt, regardless of what occurs in my
life, I always have Carol as my best friend, mate, lover, and I am
honoured to have her as a partner in business.
- And I know that
our relationship can continue to flourish and improve as we consciously
invest time to plant seeds for even greater growth, and continually
nurture those seeds so we can thrive individually and as a couple.
-
- Do you want
something similar?
-
- Carol and I are not
counsellors. We are coaches – we strive to help you get what you
want in life. And we specialize in working with couples. You can learn
more about Couples’ Coaching
here.
-
- Through our research,
Carol and I have found that most people in a relationship with a
life-partner will agree that they have a “fairly good” relationship.
They tell us that they:
- communicate
fairly well most of the time
- treat each other
respectfully most of the time
- like to be
together much of the time
- love each other
most of the time.
- In general terms,
things are going reasonably well most of the time.
-
- And yet most
people admit they would like their relationship to be even stronger and
more dynamic. They would like to:
- communicate
effectively all of the time
- treat each other
respectfully all of the time
- trust each other
completely
- eliminate angry
outbursts
- dispel resentful
thoughts
- minimize
conflict
- share individual
and common visions and goals
- invest
high-quality time together
- create deeper
connection
- be more romantic
- be more playful
- have more fun.
- Why then, do we not
see couples’ seminars and workshops advertised in our daily papers, and
see them all filled to capacity?
-
- It could be because
of one or a combination of things such as: perceived shortage of time,
lack of funds, apprehension, fear, pride, or lack of awareness.
-
- Many couples do not
want to go to a workshop where there are other people in the room. They
are not comfortable talking about their lives and their relationship
with a group of others. They surely don’t want their friends or
co-workers to find out that they have been to a couples’ workshop, “They
might think we’re having trouble, and we’re not – or not too much.” Or
there could be a bunch of other reasons.
-
- These reasons are not
bad or good. However they have kept Carol and me, and possibly you and
your partner, from participating in training and coaching that can help
to create exactly what we want in our relationship.
-
- Carol and I now
invest in our relationship on a regular basis to keep the spark of
passion burning. We book time for a relationship recharge. We leave
our familiar surroundings and go somewhere unfamiliar. We make the time
to work on our relationship. We find it so worthwhile and fun too.
-
- For the first time,
arranging an adventure such as this may be challenging. All kinds of
questions may enter your mind. Questions such as:
- Where can we go?
- What are we
going to talk about?
- What are we
going to do together?
- What if we get
into an argument?
- Will this bring
us closer together?
- Will this make
our relationship worse?
- Is it worth the
effort?
- How long do we
stay?
- Tough questions –
maybe even a bit scary!
-
- Why not let us
help you make this easy – so you are certain it will be a fantastic
experience for both of you?
-
- Why not make this
a memorable “Relationship Recharge Vacation”?
-
- It doesn’t need to be
a week long vacation. Start with a 24 hour focused and fun
Relationship Recharge. Anyone who wants to enhance their
relationship can afford to make that small investment of time – an
investment that will benefit your relationship for the rest of your
lives.
-
- What’s included?
- Minimum of 4
hours coaching time with us (value $800 +), in several smaller segments
of time
- All-inclusive get-away (accommodations, meals, refreshments, snacks)
- Lots of time for
you to be alone together to talk, apply principles, practice, integrate
learnings, ???
- What’s in it for
you?

- Where will you be?
-
- Your stay will be at
Ohlers’ Acres – A Positively Peaceful Place … just one hour west of
Edmonton. You can check it out here:
www.ohlersacres.com
-
- Carol operates this
Country B&B and Retreat Centre and she is the best cook in the west (or
at least our quarter section of it). Ohlers’ Acres is a tranquil,
peaceful, pristine farm, boasting a boreal forest with an abundance of
trails, hills, wildlife, and birds. It is an ideal location for you to
“be” together: for walking, enjoying a campfire, star-gazing,
bird-watching, playing horseshoes, bocce, or many other indoor and
outdoor games. You will have lots of time together to do as you please.
-
- Sound great or
fantastic to you?
-
- Here’s how it
works?
- Call us at
780-785-9479 or 780-785-3700 to arrange the date for your retreat.
- We’ll send you some home-play (rather than homework) to complete prior to your arrival. This will
provide us with information about you – so we can help you achieve the
amazing results you want.
- We’ll send you
driving directions to our place.
- We'll send you an invoice for your retreat.
- You send us a 50% deposit to confirm your commitment.
- You can make other
arrangements for kids or pets, pack your bags, and hit the trail!
- We guarantee
this will be a transformational adventure for you.
-
- Couples usually
arrive late afternoon and leave the following afternoon. However, we
can adapt your stay to fit your schedules.
-
- I have a hunch there
is another burning question that has been bugging you for quite some
time now, “This all sounds great BUT what’s the cost?”
-
- Rather than
“cost”, consider it an “investment” in yourselves and your future
happiness.
-
- You receive this
value-packed experience for only $649.00 plus GST.
- This is
exceptional value because 4 hours of couples’ coaching is valued at
$800.00.
- And what does it
cost to stay in a nice hotel in any major centre?
- And how much do
you spend for two of you to eat breakfast, lunch, and supper in nice
restaurants?
- Hey,
hey, hey! Not so fast! Keep your fingers off that keypad. Don’t call
us quite yet!! Consider these intangibles:
- How do you put a
dollar value on happiness?
- What value do
you place on unconditional love?
- What would it be
worth for you to trust your life-partner completely and to know that
complete trust was reciprocated?
- How well could you
perform in your career if you felt totally fulfilled in your
relationship with your life-partner?
- Now, if you’ve
considered these things and you’re totally committed to creating immense
happiness, joy, and success in your relationship, call us at 780-785-9479 or
780-785-3700.
-
- A 50% deposit is
required to hold your date and for us to begin our preparations. Our
preference for payment is a money order or a cheque. If necessary, we
can also accept MasterCard, VISA, or AMEX.
-
- If you’ve read
through all of this and you’re not serious about enhancing your
relationship with your life-partner, go to the Yellow Pages to find a
psychologist, social worker, or divorce lawyer.
-
- I know that you
always make the best decisions with the information you have at the
time. So with that in mind, I wish you well. We hope to see you soon.
-
- Have FUN!
-
- Dan
