The bench is deeper than it has ever been.
Integration started as a single weekend built on a simple idea: veterans deserve more than one prescribed path to healing. Three years later, that idea has grown into the Foundation's flagship gathering — and the 2026 roster is the widest we've ever fielded.
More than twenty facilitators are bringing twenty-two sessions across the weekend, spanning Lakota ceremony and sweat lodge, equine-assisted therapy, blacksmithing, cold-water immersion, breathwork, qigong, yoga, meditation, creative writing, regenerative agriculture, bionutrition, hypnosis, and grounded education on plant and amphibian medicines. Returning instructors are back for their third year alongside facilitators joining us for the first time.
The weekend is intentionally diverse. Some sessions are practical and skills-based, some are contemplative, some are cultural or ceremonial, and some invite participants to explore emerging approaches to healing. Every participant is encouraged to choose what resonates, move at their own pace, ask questions, and engage with care — for themselves and for the wider community.

The Lineup
Facilitators & Sessions
Experience sessions invite hands-on or embodied participation. Education sessions are talks and discussions — information, context, and honest conversation, with nothing administered on site. Select any card to read the full facilitator background.

Before You Come
How to Approach the Weekend
Choose Your Own Path
Integration gives you options rather than a single prescribed experience. Review the program, choose the classes that speak to you, and give yourself enough transition time between sessions. Participation is always a personal choice.
Come Prepared
Many sessions take place outdoors. Bring a camping chair, blanket or yoga mat, weather-appropriate clothing, water, and whatever bedding or comfort items you need for your stay.
Try Something New
You do not need prior experience with a modality to attend its educational session. Ask questions, stay curious, and use the weekend to explore approaches that may be new to you.
Respect the Container
Ceremonial, cultural, and experiential offerings deserve care and attention. Follow facilitator instructions, honor participant privacy, respect personal boundaries, and never pressure another person to participate.
Listen to Your Body
Some practices can be physically or emotionally activating. Disclose relevant concerns when screening is offered, use modifications when needed, and step out or ask staff for support at any time.
Limited-Enrollment Sessions
Blacksmithing, buffalo frame-drum making, rattle making, and other hands-on experiences may have limited capacity or separate sign-up requirements. Watch the schedule and registration information for details.

The Grounds
Integration is a multi-day retreat environment. Expect to move between lodging, gathering spaces, outdoor class areas, meals, ceremonies, and special experience zones throughout the weekend. Final class locations follow the event schedule and on-site signage.
Registration + Staff
Start here when you arrive. Staff and volunteers can help with directions, schedule questions, lodging, and general event support.
Class + Gathering Areas
Indoor and outdoor sessions are distributed across the grounds. Check the final schedule for the location assigned to each class.
Ceremony + Special Areas
Sweat lodge, cold plunge, equine work, Frog Town, blacksmithing, and craft workshops may sit away from the main teaching areas. Give yourself extra walking time.
Lodging + Camp Comfort
Cabins are available with bunk beds and mattresses, but they aren't especially comfortable. Bring bedding, pillows, padding, and personal comfort items. Outdoor chairs and blankets are useful throughout the weekend.
