We invite all active duty - Veteran + Retired military- law enforcement - fire fighters and frontline workers to join us for weekly Fire Side Chats.  There will be guided conversations as well as small group opportunities to help each of you connect and feel more at ease and comfortable talking and getting to know people within the community that have been there and understand where you are coming from.  

We've lost too many of our brothers and sisters and the time to heal is NOW.

If you would like to bring your significant other with you to check it out together- we would love to have you both join us.

On May 2, 2026, join us at Vista West Ranch in Dripping Springs, Texas for a powerful evening of connection, storytelling, and healing.

We are hosting a special screening of “Healing Heroes: No Mind Left Behind”—a moving documentary that follows veterans and first responders as they navigate trauma and rediscover purpose.

This is more than a film screening.
It’s a space to connect, reflect, and be part of a supportive community.
