Over 135,000 veterans live in just the state of New Mexico. According to the U.S. Veterans Administration, many recent veterans suffer from anxiety, insomnia, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder, but fewer than half seek treatment.
There are unique challenges, such as the increased risk of suicide, homelessness, and incarceration, that American veterans face and for which they need support. Many of these challenges are related to the experiences of long-term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Research by Haider et al. (2021) has shown meditation interventions are effective in alleviating the symptoms of PTSD.

The Veteran Meditation Retreat is a worthwhile and potentially life-changing effort and has never been done at this magnitude. Thank you for your support.
Our majority-veteran board of advisors, led by Ralph Steele, is committed to sharing this evidence-based, potent, yet
simple practice. On October 13-16, 2023, we’re offering a free Veteran’s Retreat at The Clyde Hotel in
Albuquerque, where participants can learn these simple, powerful healing tools. No prior meditation experience is
necessary.
Would you assist us in helping the veterans who volunteered to serve and risk their lives for our country at home and
in war to heal from the traumas sustained defending our people and land?
