Go in Peace! is an award-winning film that focuses on the impact of the caregiver in healing the soul wounds of veterans with PTSD, especially at the end of life. It demystifies the nature of soul wounding in veterans, explains how the environment can trigger trauma in a patient, and reveals how the caregiver can create a safe and healing environment. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Deborah Grassman (a leading expert in caring for veterans as they near end of life), Karen van Vuuren (the film’s Director who runs the Natural Funeral Home in Boulder County and is the founder and Executive Director for Natural Transitions, an educational non-profit supporting conscious, holistic approaches to end of life), and Greg Goettsch (Executive Director for Qualified Listeners and Vietnam Navy Veteran).

Tickets to the screening and panel discussion are $10 per person and are available here. Seating is limited.
