News Release
Healing of Memories Workshop for Veterans Returns to Arizona
The Healing of Memories for Veterans Workshop is again coming to Arizona on December 5-7, 2014 at the Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center in Carefree. This workshop has been conducted three times for men and women Arizona vets of all eras with good reviews from the 40+ vets who have attended. It is designed to help vets heal from the emotional and spiritual affects of their military experiences.

The Healing of Memories Workshop was created by Father Michael Lapsley, an Anglican missionary priest, who in 1990 suffered the loss of his hands and the sight in one eye from a letter bomb that was sent to him in Zimbabwe by a supporter of the pro-apartheid government in South Africa. After a long recovery from the bombing, Father Lapsley decided to dedicate his life to helping victims of emotional, psychological and spiritual wounds inflicted by war, human rights abuses and other traumatic circumstances. He founded the Institute for Healing Memories in South Africa in 1998. Their mission is to facilitate the healing process of individuals, communities and nations.
