Veteran Rites initiates Veterans into true identity, purpose, and belonging after military service.
At the Rite of Return, we answer the soul’s call for deep healing in the wilderness, separated from society, in order to cross the line to who we are truly called to be once we've hung up the uniform. Our veteran-led rites of passage has proven to drastically reduce the symptoms of PTS, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and suicidal thoughts by embracing all aspects of our human nature, identity, and experience.
These Rites saved our lives, now claim yours.
The Rite of Return is a 12-day rite of passage for veterans seeking to answer the soul's call for deep healing in the wilderness in order to lay down what no longer serves and step into who you are truly called to be after military service. The rite of return is limited to 12 current and prior service members, spouses, partners, suicide loss survivors, and Gold Star family members.
