Soul Injury is Defined as:

1. An overlooked, unassessed wound that separates us from our own sense of self.
2. An aching wound perpetuated by unmourned loss, unforgiven guilt/shame, and diminished self-compassion that is often manifested as a sense of emptiness, loss of meaning, or a sense that a part of self is missing or in exile.
3. A long-lasting response to a person or situation that causes one to feel personally defective, inadequate, or unworthy.

Three powerful workshops will embolden us to connect with our own Soul Injury: Re-Own, Re-Home, and then Re-Vitalize those scattered, once disowned pieces of ourselves.

A $50 fee will be required at registration, and will be fully refunded at the completion of the retreat. Our retreats are 100% drug and alcohol free. All lodging, meals and activities are provided to Veterans free of charge. Transportation to or from retreat not included.

Escape the darkness of PTSD and other life struggles with clear goals and a solid plan. This Ladder UPP retreat will help you figure out where you are going and how to use your traumas and trials as fuel to live.

You will learn tools for recovery, PTSD and depression, or just a difficult trial or transition in life. Join us on this retreat and take a step toward living free. “The Ladder UPP” is a data-driven program and has been proven effective and might just be the step up you need.

The creator of “The Ladder UPP”, Silouan Green, survived a tragic jet crash as a US Marine only to face the demons of PTSD and a whole host of other medical conditions. Shattered and hopeless, staring into the abyss, he was given a choice, continue down the same devastating path, or live free. He chose to live free.
