Warriors Write!
A Creativity and Wellness Retreat
for Women Veterans
Next up: July 2021
Warriors Write! serves women veterans with a blend of creativity, wellness, and recreational activities. Participants work with published authors to put thoughts and memories to paper and to discover that each story is important and each voice needs to be heard.
This annual retreat, launched in 2018, has served 32 women veterans ranging in age from 26 to 63, and representing all branches of service. Participants find community, healing, and inspiration through the power of telling her story.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, this program is offered to veterans at no charge.

SongwritingWith:Soldiers
Next up: October 2021
SongwritingWith:Soldiers holds weekend retreats across the U.S. for veterans from all conflicts. Since 2012, SW:S has connected with hundreds of veterans and military families, creating a safe and inspiring environment to share their experiences and write songs with professional songwriters. These songs have been recorded and streamed across the internet, reaching and connecting more veterans and raising civilian awareness of the challenges the military community faces. Heart-J Center has partnered with SW:S since 2017 as the Colorado home for this powerful retreat.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, this program is offered to veterans at no charge.
