The Space Between: A Women's Retreat

A Women's Retreat

Pause · See Clearly · Return to Yourself

a retreat for the spaces between

Organized by Dana Parks of DPP Communications & Coaching  ·  Facilitated by Lyndee Berkley of Encyte Solutions

December 6 – 8, 2026 Devil's Thumb Ranch and Spa  ·  Colorado

There is a moment that doesn't get named very often.

It's the space between who you've been and who you're becoming. Between the roles you carry — mother, partner, daughter, friend, leader, colleague — and the woman underneath them. Between feeling like too much and feeling like not enough. Between wanting something to shift and not yet knowing how.

Most of us move quickly through these spaces. We try to solve them, fix them, or move past them.

But this is where clarity begins. Where patterns become visible. Where new choices start to emerge.

This retreat is an invitation to stay there, with space, clarity, and connection.

Retreat Production and Design

Dana is the founder of DPP Communications & Coaching, a Denver-based communications consultancy and coaching advisory she has led for nearly two decades. A public relations strategist, media connector, writer, event planner, and more recently a leadership coach, Dana brings years of experience helping clients harness the power of storytelling, relationships, and meaningful connection.

Over the years, she has secured media placements in thousands of top media outlets and has also planned launches, gatherings, and brand experiences designed to be as thoughtful as they are well executed.

Lyndee Berkley

Facilitation and Design

Lyndee is the founder of Encyte Solutions, where for over twenty-five years she has brought a rare combination of real-world expertise and deeply human coaching to executive teams, leaders, and professionals. Her background includes consulting roles, an MBA, and certifications in the Enneagram, Co-Active Coaching, EQi, neuroscience and the Leadership Circle, among others.

Lyndee's work is about making the invisible visible, surfacing the patterns and mindsets that quietly shape how we lead, relate, and show up so that we know how to move forward.

Through guided reflection, meaningful conversation, and thoughtfully designed sessions, you'll begin to see yourself, and your life, with greater clarity and perspective.

The retreat draws on a mix of simple but powerful tools, including personality insight, moments of play, and unhurried conversation, to help you recognize patterns, shift perspective, and connect in a more meaningful way.

There is structure and intention throughout, along with plenty of space to relax, connect, and enjoy where you are. The work is meaningful, but it isn't heavy. It's designed to feel spacious, engaging, and fun.

This retreat is for women holding full lives. Lives that look very different from the outside but share the quiet fact that there's rarely space to sit inside them. You don't need to fit any particular description to belong here.

The space between is about finding space to sit. To learn. To connect with other women carrying their own version of it all, because that's where community and joy still live.

Sometimes the space between means breaking a pattern that no longer serves you. Sometimes it means reclaiming something you set down too long ago. Sometimes it just means settling in, and finding you don't need to be anything else.

This retreat is shared by personal invitation. Each woman we've reached out to was chosen with thought and care, but the only invitation that matters is the one that lands with you.

If this feels like yours, we would love to share these days with you. And if it doesn't (wrong time, wrong season, something else calling), that's the right answer, too. We trust you to know.

Warmly, Dana and Lyndee
