A Future Worthy of Their Sacrifice

A field hospital for the veteran soul and a bootcamp back to being fully alive. Welcome Home.

Welcome Home our veterans into who they are truly called to be after military service so they can claim their freedom from trauma, grief, uncertainty, and isolation.

Through the Rite of Return in the wilderness and Circles of Return in community, we are deploying natural, community, and evidence-based practices that heal and inspire the veteran soul to live the future worthy of their sacrifice. #preventveteransuicide

We remove any and all barriers for veterans or anyone in the military family seeking to answer the call for deep healing in the wilderness and a return to true belonging in society. This includes flights, hotels, gear, meals, spending cash, peer support, zoom access, guided workshops, medical equipment, you name it. #belongingbyallmeansnecessary
