A community that will not let you fall.
We provide healing retreats for veterans, service members, first responders, trauma professionals, and their families who may be carrying the effects of PTSD, traumatic brain injury, chronic stress, moral injury, loss, and suicidal thoughts.
We help people move from surviving to thriving through immersive healing, meaningful connection, and a community that does not disappear when the retreat ends.

Testimonial
"Prior to attending the Mons Sana retreat, I struggled with depression, anxiety, and looking for a way out was never far from my mind. I had lost touch with myself and was unable to connect with the things that mattered most in my life.
Attending Mons Sana provided me with an environment that only made me feel safe and cared for but reminded me what it meant to feel part of a team, part of a family, and loved. I was admittedly skeptical that a group of relative strangers could create a space for someone like me that would allow healing, but that skepticism was misplaced. The facilitators and organizers of Mons Sana care. Truly care about the long-term well-being of the people that come to their door and that is the difference between them and any other program."
