A few things to know:

  • No experience in yoga, writing, or meditation is required - beginners very welcome!

  • Attendees must be Veterans or active duty service members of the armed forces and have no record of violent criminal behavior. We accept between 10 -15 participants per retreat.

  • Our donors fully fund retreats. Veterans pay nothing to attend, although attendees must coordinate and pay for their own transportation to the retreat location.

  • Retreats are four or five days long. Three meals a day will be provided along with accommodation, which may be single or double occupancy.

  • Attendees must provide proof of military service (copy of DD 214)

  • No alcohol, firearms, or THC are permitted on retreat.

  • Service dogs are welcome, but must be cleared in advance of the retreat. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed at our retreat locations. Service dogs must have already completed their training and must behave according to ADA requirements. If this is not the case, you and your dog will be required to leave the retreat immediately.

  • If diversity makes you uncomfortable, this is not the place for you. Retreats are co-ed. We welcome all service members from any era. We are inclusive and embrace diversity. We welcome LGBTQ+ service members. We welcome people of all genders, races, religions, and backgrounds.

  • If you are chosen for a retreat, a deposit of $100 will be required to hold your space. This deposit will be fully refunded immediately after the retreat. No-shows or cancellations within 45 days of the retreat will forfeit this deposit. (Deposit can be waived according to means.)
