For Our Veterans
A Sacred Invitation for Veterans Ready to Heal
You’ve given your life in service.
You’ve carried burdens most will never understand.
But now — beloved warrior — it’s time to come home.
Not just to a country, but to your soul.
At Merkaba Retreats, we honor your path. We recognize the silent battles, the deep scars, and the strength it took to survive. And we invite you into a field of safety, healing, and deep spiritual remembrance. Read our latest blog post about our service to Veterans.
“I didn’t come here expecting to cry.
I didn’t come expecting to feel.
I came because I was tired of carrying it all alone.
Combat didn’t break me—but what came after did.
The silence. The numbness. The not knowing who I was without the uniform.
At the retreat, something happened I still can’t fully explain.
It wasn’t therapy. It wasn’t religion.
It was like my soul finally got invited back into my body.
We sat in circle. We prayed. We laughed.
I looked into the eyes of other men and saw myself—not my rank, not my trauma—just me.
And the medicine?
It didn’t take anything from me.
It gave me back to myself.
I’ve done a lot of things in my life I’m proud of.
Coming here is one of them.”
— U.S. Veteran, Age 43

From a Fellow Veteran
“I thought I had tried everything. Nothing reached the pain in my soul — until this. Merkaba brought me back to life. Not just as a veteran, but as a human. A man. A soul.” — Anonymous, U.S. Army Veteran
Why We Serve Veterans
Merkaba Retreats are founded in sacred service. Many of our stewards — including our founders — are deeply connected to military families and the journey of healing from war. We believe that when a warrior heals, a lineage heals.
This is not a retreat for the faint of heart.
It is for those ready to face themselves — and reclaim the light that was never truly lost.
📅 Upcoming Veterans Retreat:
August 11-18, 2025 (Veterans Only)
Spaces are limited. Scholarships available.
Note: Veterans are welcome at ALL of our retreats.
