This four-month group is designed to build a safe and welcoming community for returning veterans. It consists of four monthly one-day retreats, two at Green Gulch Farm (March 1 and June 14), and two at the City Center (April 5 and May 9). Activities will include: meditation and mindfulness practices to cultivate awareness and healing; writing as a practice to develop self-awareness and expression; gardening and farming to engage with the natural vitality of working with the land; weekly mindfulness and stress management practices to integrate skills being learned in the retreats; and weekly phone or e-mail contact with the leaders and other participants. The retreat is non-denominational and open to all veterans.
“In the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone.”—Rachel Naomi Remen
Fee: $10 per day, and the opportunity to offer a teaching donation if desired.

Hello, I own a 300 acre ranch outside of Auburn, California. Are you looking for another site for returning vets and meditation? We have a campground.
