About Echo Ridge Retreat
A nature-based sanctuary offering creative workshops and therapeutic experiences
for veterans and blue light individuals seeking peace, reconnection, and healing.
Echo Ridge Retreat will be a creative sanctuary where veterans and survivors of trauma reconnect with themselves, nature, and each other through photography, painting, and stillness. Nestled in a quiet landscape, it will offer not therapy in the traditional sense — but healing through connection, nature, and shared experience.
From time in nature and relaxing photography walks to painting workshops, sharing a meal around a campfire together, and having a good old chat — Echo Ridge is about finding peace through creativity and community.
Nestled in a quiet landscape, Echo Ridge offers a space for stillness and creativity. Through photography walks, painting workshops, and time in nature, guests reconnect with themselves and each other. This is healing through connection, not traditional therapy.
What We Offer:
• Relaxing photography walks in nature
• Painting and creative workshops
• Campfire gatherings and community meals
• Time for reflection and stillness
