Couples Getaway

February 13-15, 2026

Step away together. Breathe deeply.

Take a breath, leave the noise behind, and step into a weekend made just for the two of you. At Beaver Lake Lodge & Cabins in Marble, Colorado, our Couples Getaway Weekend is all about creating space to slow down and enjoy quality time together in the quiet beauty of the mountains.

We take care of the details so you can focus on each other. Your stay includes cozy lodging, nourishing meals, and shared experiences designed to bring you closer—whether you’re wandering the snowy landscape hand-in-hand, soaking in the warmth of the sauna, or discovering new ways to communicate in a playful, meaningful mini-workshop.

A sound bath to help you settle into the weekend
Mini-workshop with your guide, Amy, on compassionate communication (see more details below)

Two nourishing dinners and breakfasts (enjoy in the Great Room or take back to your cabin/lodge room)
A surprise gift bag designed to spark joy and connection

(Lunch is not provided—please bring your favorite snacks or enjoy a meal in town (or nearby Redstone)).

“The greatest gift we can give our partner is to be emotionally present."

– Dr. Sue Johnson

Step away from the noise and spend time where it matters most—together.

Wake up to the stillness of winter and the simple joy of being side by side.

The mountains offer the perfect backdrop for love to grow.

Schedule

Mini Workshop: exploring feelings and needs in couples communication

The workshop is designed to be light, interactive, and immediately useful—helping you walk away with tools you can use long after the weekend ends.

The workshop

During this guided session with Amy Alexander, you’ll be introduced to the basics of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)—sometimes called life-enhancing communication. Together we’ll explore how it differs from the more common life-alienating communication patterns that often leave us feeling unheard or disconnected.

This is not a lecture—it’s a playful, practical experience.
You’ll:

Learn a simple framework for being empathetic and emotionally intimate
Practice expressing feelings and needs with honesty and compassion.
Practice connecting in your heart to both your own feelings and your partner’s, right in the moment.
Explore compassionate, creative ways to meet one another’s needs.

Meet your leader: Amy

Amy is a mom of two, a mountain girl, wannabe homesteader, and natural life liver.

Amy is passionate about relationship well-being and compassionate communication. Her love for Nonviolent Communication started when she was invited to join a book discussion with that book as the star. It changed her life. Learning about the four-step process of observing, noticing feelings, recognizing needs, and making requests has been both a joy and a challenge to implement into her life since that day. One of her favorite tools, WE GROK, has been used in her family (think challenging conversation with teenage daughter) and with friends to explore topics and get connected and clear. She looks forward to sharing these tools with you.

Important Note: Amy is a facilitator and educator, not a licensed therapist. This workshop is educational in nature and is not a substitute for couples counseling or therapy.

Rediscover each other in the mountains of Marble, Colorado.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need to bring anything?
Just yourselves, outdoor clothing for the mountain weather, and a willingness to relax. We’ll provide skis.

What about meals?
We provide nutritious, warming meals that perfectly complement the cool mountain atmosphere—think cozy, hearty dishes that nourish both body and spirit. Breakfast and dinner are included each day, while lunch is left open for you to enjoy at your own pace. Depending on your accommodations, you’ll have access to either a full kitchen or a kitchenette if you’d like to prepare something yourself. For those who prefer to explore, there are also several wonderful local dining options within about a 30-minute drive, including The Inn at Raspberry Ridge, Propaganda Pie, and The Redstone Inn.

We’re not very outdoorsy. Will we still enjoy it?
Absolutely. All activities are optional and beginner-friendly. You can be as adventurous or as cozy as you like.

What’s in the gift bag?
Each couple will receive their own WE Grok communication game, thoughtfully included to enhance both the retreat experience and your daily life. The remaining items are a curated surprise, designed to bring an extra touch of delight to your weekend.

How many couples will be there?
We intentionally keep this retreat small and intimate so that every couple feels cared for and has plenty of space to themselves. We host no more than 8 couples, giving you lots of time to enjoy the peaceful quiet of Marble and the cozy comfort of your own accommodations. The only shared moments are a touch of group time for the class —woven into a weekend designed for connection, rest, and renewal with your partner.
