“Participate in creative composition workshops in areas such as photography, videography, cooking, and other creative arts. All participants receive a fully produced cd, dvd and photo/llyric book from the retreat and are registered with ascap as co-writers of their songs. Post-retreat offerings include a participant forum and ongoing creativity workshop conference calls. Many participants attend future events as peer support and/or presenters of workshops in their own professional fields. Sw:s leadership has been featured presenters at national arts conferences, psychology conferences and the international trauma conference to highlight ways creativity and the arts are used in service of others with transformative results. Participating in the sw:s retreat has a number of positive changes for attendees including:(1) feel more comfortable sharing combat/military experiences with others after the retreat than they had before, and felt less inclined to keep those experiences private; (2) feel a renewed connection to others in the military after the retreat in comparison to before (and they also feel more connected to people outside the military, and to others in general, although to a lesser extent); (3) feel increasingly that sharing their experience through song could help others after completing the retreat; (4) feel strongly that their songs would give comfort after the retreat, and that they would share their song with others; (5) participants of the retreats unanimously agree that they would recommend the retreat to others. On average, approximately 50% of participants are referred to the retreats by a past participant.”
