Supporting the Moss Journey: Meet Our Partner and Sponsors

Moss Journey is a donation-funded somatic healing retreat designed specifically for Veterans, held in the restorative setting of Bask Retreat Center in Middle Tennessee. This retreat provides a safe, grounded environment for Veterans to reconnect with their bodies and regulate their nervous systems through nature immersion, guided reflection, and intentional group connection. We are deeply honored to work alongside incredible local organizations to bring this restorative experience to life.
