The Artist Co-Op in New York, NYVeteran Voices Performance Workshop
Attend the Veteran Voices Performance Workshop on February 29, 3-6pm. These workshops are designed to guide veterans through a process of writing and performance that empowers them to speak their truths, share their experiences, bear witness together, and exist in a space of creativity, compassion, and camaraderie. Family members are welcome to attend.
Register to participate here.
Warrior cultures of the past such as the Greeks, Romans, and Native Americans, welcomed their military home in rituals of storytelling. Following in that tradition, the Veteran Voices program seeks to revive these practices through creating an environment for veterans to share their stories, helping them to express those stories in a way that informs others, helping them recognize that their experiences do not define them, are universal, and are part of a long line of experiences from warriors throughout history, and lastly, helping them become comfortable sharing on stage if they so desire. -

GallopNYC in Forest Hills, NYTeam RWB Family Riding Class with GallopNYC
Team RWB presents a free Riding Class with GallopNYC for veterans and their families on February 29, 6:30-8:30pm. This class is a combination of the two different equine programs GallopNYC offers for veterans; one is a riding program and the other includes horse care and groundwork.
Veterans will have the opportunity to experience the confidence from learning to be in charge of a large herd animal, the competence in the skills learned, and the leadership that a horse demands before it agrees to accept our commands.
While class is held in an indoor stable, please dress accordingly for the weather.

Long Beach Boardwalk in Long Beach, NY4th Annual Guardian Eagle Tim's Hike
Team RWB Long Island will assemble as a team on March 1, 5am-1pm, to memorialize, honor and remember their Guardian Eagle, Tim O' Connor, who passed last year on March 1, 2020.
This will be a multi-phase ruck march from the Long Beach Boardwalk, a special place for Tim and now hallowed ground for Team RWB Long Island, to his final resting place at Long Island National Cemetery. Total distance is 22.1 miles, but there will be multiple checkpoints for those that want to link up to ruck a shorter distance. This is an inclusive event for all of our teammates to honor Tim but for those unable to walk at a 17 minute/mile pace, please meet up with the group at the 8-mile link-up location.
View the ruck route here.
After visiting Tim, the group will return to That Meetball Place for a meal and to shares stories in memory of Tim's life. They ask that everyone pack an extra ounce of patience as the timeline often gets shifted waiting for others to link up. Please do your best to be timely and if you miss a link up spot, continue to the next plot on the map. Do not over extend yourself. This is not a training hike - this is a hike to remember Tim.
