Veterans Retreat With Claude Anshin Thomas - for military veterans and their families and friends -
Many of us live with the after-effects of military service and combat, known as post traumatic stress. Symptoms can include explosive anger, depression, and flashbacks.
Traditional counseling and therapy, although valuable, often leave our spiritual wounds unaddressed. Without doing the work of healing spiritually, we only address symptoms, and this often does not support a lasting change in us and in our lives.
The families of veterans are often themselves significantly impacted by their loved-one’s involvement military service, a reality that’s been called “secondary post traumatic stress.” Spouses, parents, and adult children of veterans are welcome to attend this retreat.
In this veterans retreat, open to people of all religious and spiritual traditions, we practice many different forms of meditation as a path to healing.
“We who have fought in war know intimately about life and death. We who have been wounded by war - physically, psychologically, and spiritually - need to come together in order to support each other.” - Claude AnShin Thomas
Claude AnShin Thomas went into combat in the Vietnam War at the age of eighteen, where he received numerous awards and decorations. Today he is a buddhist monk in the Soto Zen tradition and the author of At Hell's Gate: A Soldier's Journey from War to Peace.
