Help us provide vital programs for the brave men and women who serve our country and communities...
We're honored to offer these free retreats exclusively for Active Duty Military, Veterans, and First Responders, providing a sanctuary to heal, connect, and thrive. Through our tailored programs and nurturing environment, these courageous men and women--and their families--can find solace, camaraderie, and renewed purpose. It's our way of saying thank you, and giving back to those who have selflessly served us. Join us, as we continue to offer them the appreciation and support they deserve.
The power of putting attention on how you think, feel, and keep moving forward...despite the past!
"Fall 2013. They sit quietly, smiling softly: a Green Beret and his spouse, married at least 2 decades, appearing calm, healthy and alert. But I‘ve learned: Listen. Ask. Assume nothing.
He begins, with an urgency that commands attention. He has prepared for today many times; now he desperately wants to pull the trigger . . . to unload years of information that’s been strategically packed away, well-hidden from his wife and family who hold nothing but adoration for this kind, courageous man. But for him, that sentiment is a lie. He’s in pain,
and it shows.
“I’m not leaving ‘til I dump it all” he says, “and leave it here.”
