I am Katharine Zink and I am thrilled to invite you to our upcoming weekend couples retreat. With over 30 years of experience working with children and families in various capacities, and a decade of practicing mental health therapy, my journey has been enriched by a deep commitment to fostering meaningful connections and personal growth. I hold a bachelor’s degree in dance, which has provided me with profound insights into the body-mind connection and the power of creative expression and I hold a master’s degree in counseling and human services from The University of Colorado Colorado Springs, which has provided me with the skills and knowledge to help others on their life paths. I am a licensed professional counselor, a licensed professional school counselor, and a national certified counselor. For the past five years, I have been in private practice with Dancing Sage Therapy, where I've had the privilege of working with teens, individuals, families, and couples. My therapeutic approach with couples is grounded in PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) level 1 training (in the process of level 11 training) and is enhanced by EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), sand tray, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Clients describe me as approachable, engaging, effective, and funny. In therapy sessions, I find that laughter and tears are both helpful aspects to deeper exploration. At this retreat, I look forward to creating a warm and supportive environment where you and your partner can explore and deepen your connection. Together, we'll embark on a journey toward greater understanding and intimacy, enhancing both your individual and couple connections. I am dedicated to helping couples deepen their connections, improve communication, and find joy in their relationships. I look forward to guiding you on this transformative journey.

Amy Bishop has been in private practice specializing in couples and relational work since 2017. She is trained in Level II of the following: PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), Gottman Method for Couples, and AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy).

She uses her expertise daily at home and has been happily married for over 8 years. She is overjoyed to co-lead this immersive couple's retreat experience and help couples connect on a rich and meaningful level in what is sure to be a fun and enriching weekend!

Hi there! I am Jeffrey Zink and want you to know a little bit about my journey and my mission: After serving 20 years in the Air Force (ending as a lieutenant colonel and a Professor of Philosophy at the AF Academy), I was a facilitator, motivational speaker and executive coach (focusing on corporate culture, ethics, and leadership enrichment), I am now the Director of Culture & Wellness for the Health Services Group within an IT services company. It is hands-down the best job I have ever had, and feels like the culmination of all my various careers. I earned my doctorate at the University of Oxford in England and my coaching training through Mentor Coach LLC. I have also written three books on ethics and leadership: "Hammer-Proof: A Practical Guide to Values-Based Leadership," "Choices: Using Values Every Day," and "From I to We: The Round Table Journey." My life’s mission with corporate clients is to cultivate a vibrant culture where everybody feels the same enthusiasm for Monday mornings as they do for Friday afternoons, and with personal clients to help them find clarity and purpose in their own life journey.
