Spring Veteran Retreat Openings
Organizations are taking Applications
- So what is a retreat exactly? They are often associated with getting away, taking a step back and having some time for yourself. It is important to know that there is more to retreats than ‘having a break’ or using them as a ‘holiday’. Many forget that there are options which encourage you to work on your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing in order to be a better version of yourself.
- Local Retreat locations include, Rhode Island, Southern Massachusetts, New York & Vermont. But if you willing and able to travel you will find them throughout the United States. Including Virginia, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado to name a few.
- Often the ONLY expense is getting there. Retreats are usually FREE to Veterans & their families. Retreats are created for TBI, PTSD, MST, LGBTQ+, Recovery, Couples, Families ......and more. Be sure to check out the button below for a comprehensive list or veteran retreats.
- IF YOU ARE THINKING "SOMEONE NEEDS IT MORE THAN ME" - YOUR WRONG! As veterans that thought comes into our head. That why often spots go unfilled!
- Reach out register soon! The experience of a retreat will change your life.
