Soul Injury Seminar Sessions:

I.  8:30-10:00 a.m. - Wounded Warriors Their Last Battle – Many military experiences impact peaceful dying for veterans – even though their death might not occur until decades later. The stoic military culture, combat training, and war itself can change a veteran in fundamental ways; their families may also be affected. 

II.  10:15-11:30 a.m.-  Forgiveness: Changing the Relationship to our Past  - If peace on earth begins with me, then how do I make peace with everyone and everything causing me unrest?  Help understand how combat Veterans can change their relationship to their past.

III.  12:45-2 p.m.-  Soul Injury: An Overlooked, Unassessed Consequence of War- The physical, mental, and emotional injuries of war are readily identified. An equally prevalent but seldom talked-about wound is “soul injury”  which can subtly and not-so-subtly rob Veterans of their vitality. 

IV.  2:15-4 p.m. -  The Hero Within –Join Deborah as she describes how to help cultivate pervasive personal peace through re-owning and re-homing scattered pieces of self so that wholeness can be restored.
