Returning
Warriors™ Program
Current projects include the Returning
Warriors™ program for soldiers experiencing the traumatic effects
of warfare in the Middle East. This program was designed to integrate
ancient healing approaches and techniques with traditional treatment
modalities.
The program is presented as either a weekend or a weeklong
retreat, with follow-up support through either weekend workshops
for soldiers and their families, or referral to other ongoing
programs.
Facilitator Training
Experienced therapists, shamanic practitioners, veterans, and others
interested in presenting and facilitating Returning Warriors™ or
STAR program retreats are welcome to apply. Please contact us for more
information.

Sexual
Trauma and Abuse Recovery (STAR)
The STAR program applies the techniques and methodology used in the Returning
Warriors™ program to the issue of sexual abuse.Childhood abuse in any form is a type of warfare. Children and
adults surviving emotional, physical, spiritual and sexual abuse
are forever changed and the effects are far-reaching. The cost
to families and the mental health system is high as survivors work
on their healing, or as in many cases, don't work on their healing.
STAR goes beyond contemporary traditional treatment. Using ancient
healing techniques practiced for thousands of years, the STAR program
helps to create a bridge between the traumatic experience of abuse
adn the desire to become a thriving member of family and community
versus only a surviving member. |
