Program Overview

Overview
The Weekend Healing Retreat is a guided, nature-based experience created for veterans who want a safe space to breathe again. This retreat is not about “pushing through.” It’s about slowing down, being supported, and rebuilding strength through calm routines, restorative activities, and community.

What to Expect
Across three days, participants experience structured wellness sessions, optional small-group conversations, and quiet time in nature. Everything is designed to be clear, supportive, and trauma-informed—with a pace that respects where you are.
