Creative Healing Connections
Women Veterans Healing Retreat 2026
As an expression of the commitment we make to help you maintain and grow the wellbeing and sense of community you experienced during the retreat, we are excited to introduce an integrated program that supports your physical and mental wellbeing, as well as fosters a stronger support network in a more ongoing manner.
The year-long program begins with your participation in the Women Veterans Retreat, which will include information about creating your personal wellness action plan in a realistic, achievable way.
Monthly virtual wellness community sessions will provide opportunities to share successes and challenges with implementing your personal wellness goal. Each month, you will experience one of the self-care practices introduced during the retreat to help you become more skilled with home practice. In addition, support recordings, links to videos and other resources will be available to you on our website.
When you register for the Women Veterans Retreat, you embark on a year-long journey with us, one that we think will be even more rewarding for everyone. Please feel free to reach out to us through our contact page with any questions.
We look forward to spending time with you again at the retreat, or to getting to know you for the first time.

Creating a Safe Haven for Your Heart Through
the Power of Sound Healing
Friday, June 12th to Sunday, June 14th, 2026 at Inn on Piseco Lake, Piseco, NY
For thousands of years, ancient traditions have recognized sound as a sacred tool for healing and transformation. Today, sound therapy continues this practice by using intentional frequencies and vibrational instruments to support the body, calm the mind, and nurture the spirit.
Through immersive and carefully curated sound experiences, sound therapy draws you into a state of deep relaxation and inner alignment, where the nervous system can reset and the body’s natural healing processes are supported reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, improving sleep, and easing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD—promoting overall balance and well-being.
During this retreat, we will weave sound therapy together with complementary healing modalities, including:
-
Mindfulness and Nature Mandala creation
-
Cacao and Water Ceremony
-
Fire Release Ceremony
-
Aromatherapy
-
Shell Art: Broken is Beautiful!
Come learn how to create your own safe haven and rest your soul for a while.

“Attending the Creative Healing Connections retreat last year was such a meaningful and impactful experience for me. It gave me tools and awareness that I’ve continued to carry into my everyday life.
What stands out most to me is that the growth doesn’t stop when the retreat ends. That’s really where the work begins. The practices we learn only make a difference if we continue to use them, refine them, and stay committed to them in our everyday lives.
That’s why I truly value the monthly check-ins—they’re not just an add-on, they’re an essential part of continuing the work. They give us the opportunity to reconnect, reflect, and support one another—but only if we show up ready, willing, present, and engaged without distraction.”
