The Conversations Most Couples Never Have
Happily ever after comes as a result of taking the time to reflect, discuss, and develop a plan that meets both of your needs and desires.
Stepping into a completely new way of being together
Investing in the two of you and creating your retirement lifestyle together.
Vitality & Health
Connection & Joy
New Rhythms
Shared Purpose
Retirement isn't just leaving work behind. It's stepping into a completely new way of being together—and most couples aren't prepared for that shift.
What’s supposed to feel like freedom can sometimes feel surprisingly complicated. Friction, uncertainty, and emotional whiplash can surface when expectations about everyday life haven’t been talked through. After all, you’re not simply entering a new phase of life—you’re finding your way into a new identity, a new rhythm, and a new way of being together.
Over our three days together, you’ll have meaningful conversations with your partner, explore your individual and shared visions for retirement, and share the experience with other couples navigating the same transition.
Meaningful dialogue with your partner away from daily routines.
Explore assessments and practical tools tailored for couples.
Turn individual dreams into one shared, fulfilling direction.

Staying at Weber’s is optional, but highly recommended. There’s something powerful about getting away from home and the routines and responsibilities of everyday life. A change of scenery gives you room to slow down, be present with one another, gain a fresh perspective, and fully experience the retreat and the community around you.
Think of it as more than attending a retirement workshop. Give yourselves the weekend.

You can leave the investment portfolios at home. This time together is about investing in the two of you and creating your retirement lifestyle together.
Financial readiness matters, but a fulfilling retirement takes more than a well-funded portfolio. We focus on the lifestyle and relationship side of retirement—while also making room for healthy conversations about money and how financial decisions connect to the life you want together.
Two people can be financially ready for retirement and still have very different ideas about what comes next. You’ll explore what each of you wants from this chapter and begin turning two individual visions into one shared direction.
How much time will we spend together? What will give us purpose? How might our roles change? What do we want to spend money on? From daily routines to financial communication, you’ll explore the practical conversations that shape life after work.
Instead of spending the weekend being talked at, you’ll talk with each other. Guided exercises, facilitated conversations, assessments, reflection, and a personal group setting turn retirement planning into an experience you share as a couple.
You’ll leave with greater clarity, shared language, practical tools, and a personalized Rejuvenation Plan centered on vitality, purpose, connection, and the retirement lifestyle you want to create together.
You and your partner are 1 to 5 years away from retirement and want to plan beyond the finances
One or both of you have recently retired, and you're struggling to sync your new rhythms
You feel excited but also disconnected, anxious, or out of step with each other
You want tools to talk about what matters without fighting or freezing
You’ve tried to figure it out on your own, but it still feels fuzzy or forced
You’re craving a reset: time to reflect, play, and dream together
Leave with a personalized rejuvenation plan for the next 12 to 18 months built on vitality, purpose, and connection.
Stop talking past each other – gain frameworks that help you communicate clearly and compassionately.
Figure out what matters most to each of you and how to support each other without losing yourselves.
Reframe retirement as a doorway, not a dead end. Discover the freedom and fun waiting on the other side.

Robert and Amie Laura are the co-founders of the Retirement Coaches Association (RCA), an organization dedicated to modernizing retirement planning by bringing equal attention to the non-financial side of retirement.
Together, they have helped redefine what it means to prepare for life's next chapter—moving the conversation beyond savings and investments to include purpose, identity, relationships, health, and everyday living.
Through the RCA, they developed the Certified Professional Retirement Coach (CPRC®) designation, the industry's leading professional credential for retirement coaching. Today, advisors, coaches, HR professionals, and other retirement specialists around the world use the CPRC framework to help individuals transition into retirement with greater confidence, clarity, and fulfillment.
Robert Laura is widely recognized as one of the leading pioneers in the psychology and social science of retirement. A former social worker turned financial advisor with more than 25 years of retirement planning experience, he has spent his career challenging the traditional view of retirement as simply a financial event.
His work focuses on helping people understand that retirement is a transition, not a transaction. By blending behavioral science, coaching, and decades of real-world experience, Robert encourages people to prepare not only for financial security but also for the equally important questions surrounding identity, purpose, relationships, health, and contribution.
An accomplished author, speaker, and media contributor, Robert's message has reached audiences across North America through television, radio, podcasts, conferences, and leading financial publications. His simple but powerful philosophy has become a guiding principle for thousands of retirees:
"Running out of money pales in comparison to running out of family, friends, good health, and time."
Amie Laura has spent more than 25 years helping individuals and families create richer, more meaningful retirement lifestyles. As Director of Member Engagement & Marketing for the Retirement Coaches Association and Course Administrator for the CPRC® designation, she combines practical experience with a gift for building authentic relationships and vibrant communities.
Her expertise includes retirement lifestyle design, relationship dynamics for couples, and helping people intentionally strengthen the connections that matter most. One of her signature messages encourages people to replace expectations with invitations—a simple but transformative mindset that has helped countless couples and families navigate retirement with greater understanding and joy.
Amie's insights have been featured in national publications including MarketWatch and Financial Advisor magazine, as well as two bestselling books. She is also the creative force behind the Retirement Coaches Association's conferences and educational events, bringing together retirement professionals from around the world to learn, collaborate, and advance the future of retirement planning.
Together, Robert and Amie share a simple belief: Retirement isn't the end of a career—it's the beginning of a new chapter. Their mission is to help people prepare not only to retire successfully, but to truly thrive in the years ahead.
