How Did the Retreat Go?

Testimonials

This is my first retreat with Project New Hope Inc. Donna, Bill and staff made us feel right at home. We look forward to the next retreat. Great people, Great times.

I am always appreciative of the healing methods and retreats provided by Project New Hope Inc. I look forward to possibly returning to another one for women Veterans. Keep up the great work.

This experience was enriching as I learned new ways to cope with stress and my inability to concentrate at times.

This was my first retreat with Project New Hope Inc., and it was amazing. It allowed me to relax and enjoy myself again. I now know the full power and benefit of meditation. I also no longer feel alone in the world. The Project New Hope staff did a phenomenal job.

Thank you, Project New Hope for offering alternatives to assist with Mental Health. The timing was right, and the number of days were perfect.

Living at Peace with our Un-peacefulness.

Post Traumatic Stress, Military and combat trauma are more than just a set of psychological symptoms, such as sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. The more fundamental injuries are moral and spiritual in nature. Mindfulness-Meditation provides a road map that can support the practitioner in navigating a road to living at peace with un-peacefulness.

In this retreat we will learn meditation practices that are rooted in our daily life activities. These meditation practices can support us in coming to terms with the emotional, spiritual, and moral wounds of our training and combat services. Hundreds of Veterans have found these retreats invaluable in discovering how to live at peace with our un-peacefulness.

In Vietnam Claude AnShin Thomas, native of Pennsylvania, survived as a helicopter crew chief being shot down five times. On the fifth occasion, in mid-1967, he was shot down in the Mekong Delta. The pilot and commander were killed, and the gunner and Thomas were wounded. Thomas received 25 Air Medals, the equivalent of 625 combat hours, and 625 combat missions. Thomas also received the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Purple Heart.

1995 Claude AnShin Thomas became fully ordained as a Zen Buddhist in the Japanese Soto Zen tradition. He is the author of AT HELL’S GATE: A Soldier’s Journey from War to Peace (Shambhala 2004) and Bringing Meditation to Life (Oakwood Publishing, 2021). He has taken vows of mendicancy, meaning that he is reliant on the generosity of others for his sustenance. He has no permanent home but serves others through almost constant travel. So, the years and months of COVID have provided quite some challenges to this lifestyle.

A $50 fee/per person, $100/couple will be required at time of registration and will be refunded a week after completion of the retreat. If you cancel 2 weeks or less leading up to retreat, are a no-show or leave before the completion of Retreat your Deposit will not be refunded. Our retreats are 100% drug and alcohol free.

How Did the Retreat Go?

I really enjoyed this retreat. I needed it more than I realized. I am so glad that I didn’t cancel and stuck to my commitment. It was my first, but it won’t be my last. Thank you.

Getting re-charged with Ladder Up is why I attend-mission accomplished. Well worth the time and effort. Staff and presenters were awesome as always. New friendships formed as well; this week was much appreciated as always.

Best thing I have done in a very long time. Bill & Donna are awesome people. Also, the rest of the staff were great. Would like to see a couple of things after dinner, from 6:30PM on it’s very slow. Some sort of group activity would be great. Again, totally awesome experience. Thank you.

This is my first time doing anything like this. And I really enjoyed it. Met some great people and had a wonderful time.

Workshops will focus on deepening connection in both challenging and happy times through improved communication skills, greater empathy and understanding, and harnessing differences to transform the way couples approach conflict. Sessions will include skills for: Strengthening the Relationship, Effective Communication & Conflict Transformation

These sessions will be taught by Jennifer Baublitz, MA/CAGS, of the Brookfield Institute. Jennifer Baublitz is a Military spouse of more than 18 years, and Executive Director of the Brookfield Institute in Ware Massachusetts, an organization dedicated to building resilience in service members, Veterans, and their families to combat the causes and impact of Veteran suicide. She is also an adjunct professor at Assumption University where she received her Master of Arts Degree in School Counseling as well as her Continued Advanced Graduate Degree in Resilience for the Helping Professional, and currently teaches courses in Positive Psychology, School Counseling, and Building Resilience for Service Members, Veterans, and their Families. Early in her career, Jennifer served as a classroom teacher and behavior interventionist, however, it was her experience as a Military spouse coupled with her background in mental health and family supports, that served as the catalyst for her shift from public education towards working with non-profit organizations serving Military and Veteran families. In her various roles in education and the non-profit sector, Jennifer has delivered programming in a variety of settings around building resilience for individuals, families, and communities.

How Did the Retreat Go?

I am very happy that I was able to attend. It was very informative and helpful. Met wonderful people. Thank you so much.

Project New hope and other attendees made me feel welcome and supported right away. The knowledge that I gained is already putting a positive impact on my life, and I know this will only continue helping my abilities thru life.

Being with other caregivers gives me a sense of peace.

To know that you are not alone is the best medicine available.

Jennifer and Jeannine were amazing.

Bill, Ann, Jeanine, etc., do a wonderful job of creating a safe and supportive week, balancing care, education, activities, and free time.  Jennifer Foxworthy is an excellent presenter as well as all off the other presenters. I got a lot of insight from all of them. Jeanine’s story was enlightening. I am so grateful for a get-away-from-responsibility week surrounded by the caring and compassionate folks of PNH.

Retreat awesome. Had fun!  Thank you!!

LGBTQ Retreat for Veterans and Active Military

LGBTQ Retreat for Veterans and Active Military

How Did the Retreat Go?

Like many Veterans, I have carried myself fragmented, only presenting the pieces of me that did not challenge those around me – effectively hiding mind injuries of war, as a trade-off deepening my emotional wounds. At the Project New Hope retreat, all “pieces” of, the good ones, which are often praised, the bad ones, which I usually keep hidden in fear of reproach, were welcomed. Throughout a weekend, twelve individuals, with only one commonality, our military service, became a community. In health and resilience, USAF Veteran

Hi, my name is Mitchell. I am a busy aunt, mother, cat mom, and Veteran with PTSD. At first, I told myself I am too busy to attend Project New Hope’s retreat and my family needs me. Then I started to feel stress and my body and mind said, “you need to go to this retreat.” So, I went to the retreat and when I got to the Grotonwood campus, I instantly felt the tension in my body start to relax. I met individuals of like mind who accepted me as I am. I participated in Alternative Therapies and felt like I was on cloud nine after yoga, Acupuncture, and reiki. The Project New Hope retreat weekend dealt with my mind, body, and my soul. I just want to thank Donna, Anne, Bill, and Nick for giving me this time to relax and rejuvenate and learn more about managing my stress levels. I had a wonderful time and I have met the best Veterans here. I cannot wait until next year. Sincerely, Stress-free Mitchell

Extremely fun, met new people, and heard new experiences. Got into new therapy methods.

This is a fantastic experience, and I would like to volunteer for future events as a massage therapist.

This was my first time coming to the retreat and I found it more beneficial than checking myself into the hospital. I was treated as a person and not as a patient with all the alternatives to manage my stress instead of having medication down my throat. It was an honor to donate my deposit rather than get free care from the VA.

The retreat has been enlightening and relaxing. The presentations were well constructed, fun, and engaging.
