2. The archetypal Warrior’s Journey as a foundational model for understanding the military experience and working with veterans of all wars.
3. The social dimensions of the military and combat experiences and PTSD as a social and community wound.
4. Strategies for applying the Warrior’s Journey model as healing practices in healthcare, mental health practices and faith communities

Maggots and Gold

By Jack McClean, USMC, Viet Nam Veteran

Create a village as strong as a war
To pick the maggots off my skin
And burnish the gold that lies within.
This will renew the sacred core.
Can we create a village as strong as a war?
