American Warrior Retreats
AMERICAN WARRIOR RETREATS
Americans need to mend the soul, the mind & the bodies of all Veterans.
22 Veterans fall every day because there is no net.
It is for this reason that we are working to create Warrior Retreats.
Employing a revolutionary tool box we will deliver for all Veterans.
I am one Marine – I can’t do this alone – I need thousands of Marines and other Veterans, responders, and patriots to help make Interfaith Retreats a reality.
Our Retreats will be planned unit developments with housing, clinics, revival centers, activities & workshops.
I and 500 thousand Marines poisoned at LeJeune are dying of multiple cancers while the lawyers and our own government argue about the money. Many of these men have suffered for 50 years. Mr. President, we need help now! For the price of one golf course we can save thousands of veterans.

Our military was an engine of religious inclusion — thinking about how to manage religious pluralism is the goal.
Saving America saves the world from evil perverted globalists.
Approx. 70 percent of active-duty military are Christian – about 20 percent Catholic – about half Protestant or other Christian, according to a 2019 congressional report. About a quarter of troops were listed as other unclassified-unknown.
The U.S. Navy reports that it has 874 chaplains. Most have a range of Protestant affiliations, including 101 Southern Baptists. They also include 46 Catholics.
Raising the sword of National Pride to defend ourselves from criminals is our determination — we must resolve to protect our nation and our souls.
What is a Warrior Retreat?
The word “retreat” is rooted in a Latin word meaning “draw back.” Jesus modeled retreating when he’d leave the crowds to be by himself to spend time in prayer with his Father.
“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” – Mark 1:35
“But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” – Luke 5:16
“One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.” – Luke 6:12
It’s not a new concept at all — the idea of retreating for growth, reflection, rest, and relationship with God — but to our 21st-century culture that’s always “on.”
One must “retreat” from the ordinary in order to experience the extraordinary.
A closer walk with your God
When you are immersed in focused Bible teaching, study, and reflection, the Holy Spirit will bring you closer to God. By omitting competition for your time, attention, and energy, pursuing God and His character becomes paramount while on retreat, which inevitably brings you closer to Him.
Closer relationships with others
Getting away with friends and family is important for your relationships. While on retreat with very few distractions, you’re more available to engage with those you love and bond with them over shared experiences, which leads to greater intimacy and growth.
Learning more about yourself
It’s easy to get caught up in our routines and the many hats we wear. In “everyday life,” we may be Mom, Boss, Husband, Employee — or any number of other roles. While on retreat, we step outside others’ expectations of us, and we can put away any definitions we’ve been clinging to that outline culture’s demands. On retreat, we can explore our identity in Christ and our relationship with Him.
Greater clarity about God’s call
Hearing from God is sometimes not easy in our busy, noisy world. A retreat, surrounded by quiet and intentional Bible study, is more conducive to building your relationship with God. When you are closer to God, you know more about His character, His will, and you’re more apt to desire those things that He desires. You can also hear from Him more clearly.
Appreciation for the wisdom of creation
There’s a reason most Christian retreat centers are located in beautiful, natural locales. God’s creation is breathtaking, and spending time in nature can often lead one to praise their Creator: “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19).
The Hiding Place is situated down a peaceful country road on 73 wooded acres in middle Tennessee overlooking the Cumberland River. Spending time on retreat at a center in nature offers an extra dimension to the spiritual experience and helps participants grow closer to the Lord.
Rest
We need rest to be fully healthy and productive. God Himself modeled the value of rest by establishing a rhythm of work and rest at Creation. He gives us an entire day for rest each week. Use it wisely.
Retreat will have a true restorative and healing effect, offering an opportunity to unplug, regroup, and focus.
This is about tuning up your mind and your body — this is Tesla Care through Frequency — this is MED BED.
“He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.”
“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”
“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”
“Quickness is the essence of the war.”
“Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.”
“The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence, it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.”
“There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare.”
“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard. There are not more than five primary colors, yet in combination, they produce more hues than can ever been seen. There are not more than five cardinal tastes, yet combinations of them yield more flavors than can ever be tasted.
Who wishes to fight must first count the cost in treasure and human suffering that lingers
You have to believe in yourself.”
“Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.
One may know how to conquer without being able to do it.
What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins but excels in winning with ease.
“The wise warrior avoids the battle.”
“The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy clouding intent.“
“One mark of a great soldier is that he fights on his own terms or fights not at all.”
“If the mind is willing, the flesh can follow.”
Great results can be achieved with small forces.
American Shinto
It may be time for American Shinto, this is essentially self – reliance examination of self and responsibility for all actions and results not only to you but those around you. Shinto – also called Shintoism, is a religion originating in Japan. Classified as an East Asian religion by scholars of religion, it is often regarded by its practitioners as Japan’s indigenous religion and as a nature religion. With no central authority in control of Shinto, there is much diversity of belief and practice evident among practitioners. A polytheistic and animistic religion, Shinto revolves around supernatural entities called the kami. The kami are believed to inhabit all things, including forces of nature and prominent landscape locations. The kami are worshipped at kamidana household shrines, family shrines – jinja public shrines – all homes in America need a point of prayer – build one of your own and use it to strengthen your will to self – respect and caring for self and loved ones.
