100th Retreat Milestone

As we reach the remarkable milestone of our 100th retreat, we honor everyone who has shared their stories and taken this extraordinary journey with us. Each retreat has forged bonds – with veterans, active-duty service members, and their families, as well as civilians, creative professionals, facilitators, and SW:S staff – that go beyond barriers and honors the strength of the human spirit.

Reflections on Strengths

In 2023 we published the final Reflections book in the 10th Anniversary series. This edition is a “Reflections on Strengths” and spotlights the many strengths we saw throughout 2022 and through all we do every year. When reading the book, consider your own strengths and the important strengths you give to SongwritingWith:Soldiers.

The Power of Connections

Our 2022 Reflections book spotlights the Power of Connections. We hope it helps you to feel the importance of connections in all of our lives, and the important connection you have to SongwritingWith:Soldiers.

Reflections on Creativity

Our 2021 compilation book features stories that show the impact of creativity. We continue to document the long-tail of the stories behind the songs to give insight into the power of our mission to build creativity, connections and strengths.

Reflections on Our Journey

In 2020 we published our first compilation book of stories to share publicly with permission from these participants. This documents the stories behind the songs to give insight into the power of building creativity, connections and strengths.
