Organizations Filed Purposes:
Veteran's PATH enables returning veterans to rediscover meaning, purpose, and joy in their lives through mindfulness, meditation, and a safe community. Our approach reconnects veterans with strength and service. Through practical tools of meditation and mindfulness, physical and outdoor experiences, and a community of camaraderie, veterans rediscover peace, acceptance, transformation and honor in a new journey forward. Veteran's PATH builds a community of support for veterans, offering mindfulness, wellness and meditation tools. All our events are offered free of charge for veterans who have served since 1990.
Centerpoint Retreats: These retreats serve the growing numbers of women veterans who are committed to their full recovery from stressful and/or traumatic experience. CenterPoint Retreats are nourishing, educational, and healing, and provide a peaceful and supportive natural environment for women veterans to learn tools for holistic recovery from PTSD, MST, and chronic stress, and to re-orient towards a fulfilling life of ease and satisfaction. These retreats are six-day retreats, based on a model of experiential, body-centered, relationship-based healing. The vast majority of women served report increases in general well-being and a reduction in stress symptoms as a result of participation in a retreat. These retreats are funded by the DOVA, and are entirely free of charge for eligible veterans, including airfare.
General Programs: : Veteran's PATH offers free programs combining meditation and mindfulness-based tools, outdoor and physical activities, and veteran peer support and leadership. This multi-pronged approach for men and women provides multiple access points for veterans to attend their first event and enable the reconnecting and building of community which is so crucial to healing in this population. Programs build on skills that many veterans have already developed including concentration, discipline, attention, commitment, caring, energy, perseverance, and dedication. These skills are turned towards healing and cultivating well-being in themselves and those around them. We serve veterans regardless of discharge status and help those who choose not to receive care at the VA or through private therapy. We provide a choice for veterans to find healing and wholeness.
Veteran Programming: : During our 16-week Anchor Program veteran participants find a safe refuge to speak about military experiences they have never shared before. The mutual support and engagement provide a safe community for healing and learning new skills related to self-compassion, resilience, communication, and meditation and mindfulness practice. The retreat is an intensive introduction to these skills and to building positive, supportive relationships with other veterans; there is adventure, group challenges, individual quests and a deep witnessing and recognition of each other. The 16-week program allows for a sustained time of self-reflection, mutual support, and integration of mindfulness practice into daily life.
