Join us as we sit down with John, a combat veteran, and Rev. Jess to talk about their vision for something truly special—a retreat created by veterans, for veterans.
Introducing Ulfhedner Retreat, a nonprofit organization founded by a veteran with a mission to help fellow veterans reconnect with nature, themselves, and each other.
Their vision is to create Viking-themed spiritual and holistic healing retreats specifically for veterans living with PTSD, built around camaraderie, connection, mutual support, and healing.
Sometimes healing begins when we step away from the noise, reconnect with nature, and surround ourselves with people who understand.
We can’t wait for you to hear their story, learn more about their vision, and discover what they hope to create for the veteran community.
