Veterans

I will be leaving for the Coming Home Project retreat that I am co-facilitating on June 22nd.  Yesterday we had a phone conference with all the facilitators.  I am so strongly drawn to this work, for some reason.  We will be leading a 5 day retreat with veterans, some still in the military, and spouses and children.  It is designed to help them reintegrate into society - and develop some relaxation and coping skills.  Leaders are therapists, other vets, spouses.  Some are Vietnam vets that have done some healing and want to help others. 

I am confident in my group skills. I have done almost as much group as I have individuals.  I am eagert to get there, meet the others, and get rolling.  One of the perks is that we are encouraged to use our coping skills frequently.  They offer meditation, QI Gong, and often Yoga.  I don't get to do any of this as often as I would like, so it provides somewhat of a retreat for me too.  Plus being around others who believe in the way I do - that we are multifaceted human beings and we need to be healed body, mind and soul.
