Spring 2024 Veterans Rite of Return in the Channeled Scablands (Waitlist)

Welcome Home

The Rite of Return is a rite of passage for veterans seeking to answer the soul’s call for deep healing in the wilderness in order to lay down what no longer serves and step into who you are truly called to be after military service. Separated from society, in solidarity and solitude, cross the threshold to answer Who Am I? What’s My Purpose? Where do I Belong?

This ancient, cross-cultural ceremony has proven to drastically reduce the symptoms of post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and suicidal ideation by embracing the wholeness of our human experience and true nature.
