We've run 72 5-day retreats cohorts serving nearly 730 people in the last 9+ years. Our retreats cohorts are offered at no charge to veterans and first responders. We empower our participants to take ownership of their lives and healing by providing the tools to heal and tend the mind, body, and soul. Bottom line: We save and change lives. Warriors Ascent uses a holistic approach employing cognitive behavioral instruction, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, nutrition, cathartic activities, and community. Ours is a capacity building model in that we endeavor to work ourselves out of a job by providing Americas heroes with the skills and practices for selfcare, healing, and posttraumatic growth.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
