In May of 2025 I had the opportunity to participate in the American Warrior’s Association’s (AWA) Warrior’s Refuge. It was a 5-day retreat focusing on the healing and renewal of its attendants. During the week we participated in discussions, hiking, horseback riding, spiritual fellowship, amazing meals and plenty of laughter. We shared our journey’s and experiences at our own pace. 

It was a privilege to participate along side the incredible group of women, while sharing our faith. We came into the AWA program as strangers and left as part of a sisterhood. Every one of these women holds a special place in my heart and is a warrior in every sense of the word.

Warrior’s Refuge™ are held in serene mountain settings across Colorado, California, Georgia and Texas. Both men and women have an opportunity to attend their own programs. The primary focus  is to help participants confront moral injuries, repair their emotional and spiritual health, and rediscover community.
