National Veterans Wellness and Healing Center is providing weeklong retreats for Veterans, Active-Duty Military, Reservists, and their partners (spouse, friend, family member) who have been diagnosed with PTS (post-traumatic stress). The retreats offer traditional and non-traditional healing methods. Included throughout the week are a mix alternative modalities like Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Chiropractic Care, Yoga, Tai Chi, Nutrition, Qi-ssage, Reiki, Art Therapy, and Horseback Riding, along with couples and group counseling sessions.
The natural setting of Angel Fire (and Red River) in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains is the perfect location to bring couples to a place where nature can assist with the healing process. The number of retreat participant couples are kept small thus making each and every experience and tool which you are provided much more intimate. The retreats are only made possible through the generosity of donors and grant funding.
