VETERAN RITES INC
Tacoma, Washington
Veteran Rites initiates veterans into true identity, purpose, and belonging after military service through ceremonial rites of passage in the wilderness and a return to meaningful relationship in society. We are on the front lines of suicide prevention and veteran empowerment.
In neighborhoods, we convene Circles of Return that get to the heart of what we carry so we don't have to shoulder it alone. At the Rite of Return, we answer the soul’s call for deep healing in the wilderness, separated from society, in order to cross the line to who we are truly called to be once we've hung up the uniform. Our warrior-led ceremony has proven to drastically reduce the symptoms of PTS, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and suicidal thoughts by embracing all aspects of our human nature, identity, and experience.
We are the bridge for the veteran soul after military service.
