SEEKING WISDOM FROM WAR'S MORAL INJURIES

COMING HOME HAUNTED

THE PROGRAM

The Coming Home Haunted Program occurs across the span of one day, focusing on understanding and addressing the roots of moral injury.

The morning begins with an exploration of ancient influences, including Judeo-Christian concepts of guilt, forgiveness, and redemption, alongside Greco-Roman ideals of honor and virtue.

In the afternoon, veterans engage in small, confidential peer groups, fostering open, honest conversations aimed at transforming moral injuries into wisdom.

Following group discussions, participants have time for personal reflection and writing, crafting their own stories to share within their groups, ensuring deeper understanding and connection.

THE DAY

OVERVIEW

We begin at 8:00 AM and we close at 5:00 PM. We will orient around your mind, not around your feelings. We aim to help you get your head wrapped around the things that have been haunting you. We explore the roots of Moral Injury before we move on to vet-to-vet conversations.

MORNING

We begin by looking back (briefly) a couple of thousand years to the impact of the Judeo-Christian theological concepts of sin, guilt, forgiveness, and redemption, and to the impact of Greco-Roman ideals of honor, virtue, and public reputation.

AFTERNOON

After lunch, veterans move into small groups of no more than four or five vets each. Each group is independent of the other. Discussions are strictly confidential and open-ended. There are no records or notes kept. This is not about venting. It is about gaining insight from one another and turning unique moral injuries into wisdom.

Reflection and writing break. You will be given some time to be on your own to reflect on the things that you and your group talked about. As part of your reflection time, you will be asked to write your own story, written by hand. What you write is your private property. But we ask that you share your story with your group after it reconvenes.

RESOURCES

At the end of the program day, we will provide you with a “grand cafeteria” of people, places and things from which to pick and choose as you think best for your needs from here forward.
