Women’s World Peace

Founded in 2019, Women’s World Peace is a trauma-informed retreat, that brings together military widows whose loved ones died in military service. The program addresses grief issues and rebuilds a sense of safety and dignity for each individual. Participants include citizens from the United States, Lebanon, France, and in 2025 we will be welcoming military widows from the United Kingdom.

Program Goals

  • Help participants rebuild themselves

  • Share experiences among participants to fight against isolation

  • Allay apprehensions that may exist between different cultures

  • Create an international network of women who become bearers of the message of peace
