Wow, words cannot describe the beauty and the flow of this Veteran retreat. Warriors’ Awakening Retreat was a huge success. We managed to create a harmonious, safe and abundant space for healing and laughter. 10 veterans and 1 civilian came together for 5 days of health and healing complete with organic meals, art workshops, yoga, flower essence, nature hikes, sweat lodge, equine therapy, cold water plunge, and so much more. It felt like we accomplished so much together. This was a beautiful group and we bonded so much! Much love to you all! I can’t wait to see what you all create in the world! And thank you for the supporters who donated funds to help the Vets attend this retreat in Roxbury, Maine. Much love to Crystal and Ryan for bringing forth this vision with me. Stay tuned for upcoming dates for Warriors' Awakening Retreat 2022! #humannaturehostel #veteran #veteranretreat #visionary#visionaryveteran #armyvet #navyvet #airforcevet #marinevet#usmc #nationalguard #healingptsd #community #love #trust#laughter #fun #art

LOCATION: The Human-Nature Hostel is located in Maine's most pristine mountainous region, where rivers, lakes, hiking trails, summits, waterfalls and hidden gems are abundant. This location and experience will give each of us the opportunity to decompress and share in the camaraderie with our fellow warriors. Simply immersing ourselves in Nature offers a much more affective way of healing our inner selves, and sometimes all it takes is sitting around a fire on the mountain under a celestial starry night, reminiscing with a band of brothers & sisters.
