Women Veterans R&R Retreat
Rest • Relax • Reconnect
Sometimes you need a place where you don't have to be anything for anyone else.
The Vets Inc/Vets R&R Women Veterans Retreat was created to give women who have served our country a place to step away from everyday responsibilities, slow down, connect with other women veterans, and simply breathe.
These no-cost weekend retreats are specifically for women veterans and are intentionally kept small, generally welcoming just 6–7 women at a time. Keeping our retreats small allows us to create a comfortable, personal environment where each veteran can participate at her own pace.
There is no expectation that you share your story. There is no pressure to participate in every activity. And there is no rigid schedule you have to follow.
This is your retreat.
What Your Weekend May Look Like
Your stay includes comfortable lodging at the beautiful farm property, meals, activities, and plenty of opportunities for downtime.
Depending on the retreat, activities may include:
Optional equine interactions through Luvs Stables LLC
Spending quiet time with the horses or walking through the equine areas of the farm
Hiking and walking
Time outdoors and connecting with nature
Yoga
Meditation
Journaling
Wellness and resilience activities
Group conversations and connection
Quiet time to read, rest, reflect, or simply enjoy the property
Evenings spent together relaxing and enjoying the company of other women veterans
We are also working with Strength in Wellness, an organization serving veterans and first responders, to bring additional wellness, resilience, mindfulness, and supportive activities into our retreats.
Some retreats may also offer opportunities for individual equine-assisted support for veterans who would like more one-on-one time.
The Horses Are Here—But They're Always Optional
Our farm and horses are an important part of the peaceful environment we've created, but you do not have to be a horse person to attend one of our retreats.
Equine activities are optional.
You might choose to interact with a horse, take a walk through the equine areas, watch them from a distance—or spend your time doing something completely different.
There is no horseback riding requirement and no expectation that you participate in an activity that doesn't feel right for you.
A Retreat Without Expectations
Women veterans often spend years taking care of everyone and everything around them.
For one weekend, we'd like you to have the opportunity to put some of that down.
Sleep in. Sit with a cup of coffee. Walk outside. Spend time with a horse. Journal. Talk with another veteran. Laugh. Take a nap. Join an activity—or don't.
We intentionally leave room within our retreats for the weekend to become what the women attending need it to be.
We don't ask women veterans to come to our retreats to be fixed—we invite them to come simply to be cared for.
Connection Without Explanation
One of the most important parts of these weekends is something we can't put on an itinerary: being around other women who served.
Military experiences are different for every woman, but there is something powerful about sitting in a room with people who understand parts of your experience without requiring you to explain them.
You can share as much or as little as you'd like.
You are welcome exactly where you are.
Who Can Attend?
Our Women Veterans R&R Retreats are designed specifically for women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
There is no cost to participating veterans.
Because we intentionally keep each retreat small, space is limited. If a retreat is full, we encourage you to join our waitlist so we can contact you about future opportunities.
Come As You Are
You served our country.
For a weekend, we'd like the opportunity to serve you.
Come rest.
Come laugh.
Come spend some time outside.
Come meet a horse—or don't.
Come connect with other women who understand.
Most importantly, come exactly as you are.
