Details of this retreat

This private 2-day Couples Intensive in Kodiak, Alaska is designed for partners who need focused, personalized support to repair connection, strengthen communication, and rebuild emotional safety. Guided by Licensed Professional Counselor Stephen Foreman, the retreat uses Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)—one of the most effective, research-supported approaches for creating lasting relationship change.
This immersive experience is ideal for military couples, first responders, and partners navigating high-stress lifestyles, as well as any couple feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed by persistent negative cycles. Instead of spreading healing across months of weekly sessions, this intensive provides deep, uninterrupted therapeutic time in a calm, supportive environment.
Your stay includes a cozy, fully furnished private studio apartment with an ocean view and private deck, a free rental vehicle, and a private evening whale-watching charter with Stephen, who is also a licensed boat captain. Each day blends meaningful therapeutic work with restorative time to enjoy the quiet beauty of Kodiak—creating a unique combination of clinical effectiveness and natural healing.
During the retreat, couples engage in structured therapy sessions focused on understanding their emotional patterns, repairing attachment injuries, improving communication, and creating new ways of reaching for each other. Optional outdoor activities and scenic exploration help you decompress, connect, and integrate what you’re learning together.
This event is intentionally limited, private, and tailored—offering you an environment where vulnerability feels safe and reconnection becomes possible. Couples leave feeling more understood, emotionally grounded, and equipped with practical tools for lasting closeness.
Come to Kodiak. Slow down. Heal deeply. Rediscover each other.
