Many other care-givers to pastoral families have been trained through Marble Retreat. A host couple lives in the lodge to oversee meals and hospitality. The retreat is a 75-minute drive from Aspen airport, four hours from Denver International Airport and five hours from Colorado Springs. Designed to help ministry couples in crisis, the staff at Marble frequently addresses severe marital conflict, depression, burnout and transitional issues caused by forced termination or resignation. A 12-day session is typical, which includes 30 hours of group therapy and four hours of individual attention.
