The Montgomery County Veterans Treatment Court Fellowship Retreat will host twelve Veteran Treatment Court participants at the end of Phase II of VTC curriculum.
LOCATION
We retreat in a wooded setting on the Cumberland River that is quiet, peaceful, comfortable, and secluded from the pressures of day-to-day life.
The Retreat lodge is a tranquil, light-filled expansive space spread over 7600 square feet. It is a carefully created relaxing environment to promote a sense of wellbeing. We value Nature and love that the 73 acres and country roads allow time to walk and experience divine presence.
Our rooms have garden or river views. We also value privacy, thus each bedroom is equipped with its own full bathroom.
Around the huge, stone fireplace in the great room, there is room for us to gather as a unit. Also in the great room, there are seating areas where 2-4 can meet to talk more personally, and a table for board games and puzzles. Upstairs, there’s a cozy room for more intimate fellowship.
PROGRAM
The three day and two-night retreat will introduce and explore Complimentary Alternative Healing Modalities to give your body, mind and spirit a peace inducing reset. Retreat goers can expect home cooked meals, a 60-minute spa session, forest bathing, campfires, and meditations all centred around an intent to restore.
Breaking bread to build the team…
In the dining area we deliberately share intimate communal meals around a large oval table as the pinnacle of togetherness, fostering sharing and trust, expressing gratitude and celebrating friendship.
Campfires
In this retreat, we bear witness to each other’s lives and our intimate paths to self-discovery using nature and fellowship. We share our daily struggles faced from combat and military service. Sharing our stories has the power to inspire and uplift one another.
Forest Bathing
Set within 73 acres of natural forest, the retreat is the perfect place to experience the calming, neurologically beneficial therapy of forest bathing or “taking in the forest atmosphere”. Breathe deeply, allow yourself to switch off from the world and your whole system will tune in to nature’s vibrations. The medicine of being in the forest is said to boost the immune system, reduce blood pressure and stress, lift the mood, increase energy levels, improve sleep and much more.
