The special Circle of Return invites members of the military familty (Veterans, Spouses, Partners, Survivors) on an inward journey designed to release tension in the energy centers in the body to relieve symptoms of anxiety, PTS, isolation, and pain.

This small circle of 4-8 participants invites us into the frequency-minded music of Listening to Smile. Veteran Rites is an official affiliate with Listening to Smile with a focus on serving veterans and their families.

Each month has a theme: January 2026 theme is Spirit Warrior:

Spirit Warrior captures the moment when inner vision becomes motion. When the long season of dissolving, clarifying, and clearing finally gives way to a new form of embodiment. January’s energy is a slow, sacred reawakening: the feeling of opening your eyes after a deep dream and discovering that the light looks different. Through fire, devotion, and gentle responsibility, the month asks us to meet our lives with both wonder and grounded presence. It is a time when ideas seek form, intuition becomes physical, and the heart begins to move with a renewed sense of purpose.
