In the last four years, HPW has served over 250 veterans with programs which combine nature and engaging physical activities, mindfulness, Sensory Awareness, and meditation practices; the intent is to provide connection, community and tools for veterans, to support them in using their own strengths and experiences to find a meaningful and productive path in civilian life.
The 2012 program includes:
- Six one-day events,
- Four-day River Rafting Trip and Retreat
- Women Veteran’s Retreat
They are non-denominational and free of charge to Veterans.
Each event holds room for approximately 25 veterans.
- $500 will enable one veteran to attend either the River Trip or the Women’s Veteran’s Retreat.
- Total donations of $50,000 will support 50 veterans in attending the two retreats currently planned for 2012.
