Threshold Retreats:

for Veterans & Caregivers

You’ve Held So Much. Let Us Hold You.

Many of us were taught to survive. Few were taught to restore. Threshold is a 4-day retreat that offers a place to pause, reconnect, and remember your own needs. It’s not therapy—but it is deeply therapeutic.

What You’ll Experience

RESTORE

rest + intention

  • Unhurried conversation, shared meals, and workshops

  • Live music, writing circles, gardening

  • City guides focusing on local culture, businesses and community.

  • Invitation to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the culture that holds us in this moment.

NOURISH

CONNECT

  • Fresh meals prepared daily by our chef or caterer.

  • A dedicated host to help you plan (or protect) your time, communicate needs and preferences, and prepare thoughtful touches for your stay with us.

CREATE

make meaning

  • Time to rest and honor everything you carry—joy, grief, change, resilience.

  • One-on-one Ritual Design Sessions: design a personal practice to bring relief, grounding, or meaning into your daily life.

  • Workshops led by local artists, healers, and community storytellers to help you reflect, express, and explore what you want to carry forward.

  • Opportunities to document your story and experience to honor this threshold moment.

Threshold isn’t just another retreat. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • We’re offering three small-group sessions in December. Each is a 3-night experience with space for 10–15 participants.

  • For some, this timing is perfect. It offers a moment of calm and reflection before the intensity of family gatherings, travel, or emotional anniversaries. If you’re seeking to step into the new year with clarity and closure, this final December offering is designed for exactly that.

Frequent Asked Questions

  • All sessions share the same core philosophy and standard of care. Because we design each retreat in collaboration with local artists, experts, and community members, workshops and experiences will vary depending on who is available. Every gathering is thoughtfully curated—no two are exactly alike. We encourage you to choose the dates that best fit your calendar, your energy, and your desire to close the year with intention.

  • Absolutely. Many participants come solo, but we also welcome those attending with close friends, family, or partners. Each participant must submit a separate application and will receive individual care and attention.

    If you’d like to experience Threshold as a large friend or family group, reach out to us at hello@survivalmod.store to discuss options.

  • Yes. Once your deposit is secured, you may split your remaining balance into 2 or 3 scheduled payments, as long as the total is received 60 days before your retreat. Please contact us to discuss a plan that fits your needs.

  • Session One: December 5–8

    Session Two: December 11–14

    Session Three: December 18–21

    Each session begins late-afternoon on Day 1 and ends by early- afternoon on Day 4.

  • Your $5,000 deposit is non-refundable but can be applied to a future retreat within 12 months if your cancellation occurs before the balance due date (60 days prior to your retreat). After that window, we cannot guarantee a refund as your space has been fully reserved.

  • Threshold is not just a getaway—it is a carefully held rite of passage. We offer private pre-retreat sessions, legacy artifact creation, curated rituals, and a sophisticated experience of place. Every detail is designed to support autonomy, reflection, and creative survival. You won’t just rest—you’ll return home transformed.
