Veteran Ripple

A wave of support, strength, and healing—for those who’ve served.

Ripple Retreat is more than a dream—it’s the result of lived experience.

Our founder, JJ, is a veteran who served in Iraq. He’s been through the transition from service to civilian life. He’s faced the silent struggles that many veterans know too well—navigating trauma, disconnection, and the search for peace after war. This retreat is rooted in that journey.
JJ built Ripple Retreat to create the kind of space he once needed himself: a place to breathe, heal, reconnect, and remember who you are beyond the uniform.

A Personal Mission

For JJ, this isn’t just about building a retreat—it’s about giving back to the veteran community in a real and lasting way. Everything we’re creating at Ripple Retreat is shaped by that commitment.
Through nature, movement, meaningful connection, and quiet reflection, veterans will find a place here to rest, to recover, and to grow.

Partnerships That Strengthen the Ripple

We know that healing is not a one-size-fits-all path. That’s why Ripple Retreat is building strategic partnerships with organizations that share our values and are doing powerful work for veterans.
🤝 One of those partners is 22Zero, a nonprofit dedicated to eliminating PTSD and trauma through peer-based, neuroscience-backed support.
By joining forces, we’re expanding the reach of veteran support—because no one should have to carry the weight alone.
