Healing Spaces

Please note this program is specifically designed for survivors grieving the death of a military loved one.

Where the grief journey takes us is a surprise, but TAPS Retreats turn that journey into an adventure.

TAPS Retreats take place over several days in a unique location and are often designed to bring together small groups of survivors who share similar losses to further build a sense of community.

Each TAPS Retreat includes physical and emotional movement, time for conversation and reflection, and unique travel experiences.

You’ll leave a TAPS Retreat with renewed confidence, a sense of triumph and lifelong friends.
