A GATHERING WITH A PURPOSE

The Impact Retreat is Rally4Vets | DVEN’s annual invitation-only retreat—an immersive experience designed to bring our fellowship together in one place to reflect, recharge, and reignite our mission.

 

This is not a conference or a networking mixer. It is a focused, intimate, and energizing few days where leaders, fellows, veterans, and advocates gather to:

 

• Exchange ideas.

• Build authentic bonds

• Shape the future of veteran advocacy

• Explore collective impact in real and meaningful ways

 

Whether through roundtable discussions, peer-led workshops, or reflective outdoor time, the Impact Retreat invites each participant to bring their full self to the table—offering their voice, insight, and heart in service of something greater than themselves.

 

WHY IT MATTERS

So much of our work happens in motion—on tracks, on calls, in the field. The Impact Retreat is our annual pause.

 

It is a moment to:

​

• Reconnect with the “why” behind our mission

• Deepen relationships across fellowship tiers

• Spark new ideas and collaborations

• Celebrate milestones and navigate challenges

• Strengthen the mental, emotional, and strategic health of our movement.

• The retreat is part strategy, part soul work—and all community.

 

WHERE WILL IT BE

You help decide- each year, we host the retreat in a different city across the United States. We select locations that offer both natural beauty and accessibility, as well as spaces conducive to thoughtful conversation, rest, and inspiration.

 

This year’s location is still being finalized, but it will be held in one of the following ten premier retreat destinations:

​

• Sedona, Arizona – Desert tranquility, red rocks, spiritual grounding

• Asheville, North Carolina – Blue Ridge charm, art, and mountain air

• Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada – Alpine serenity with year-round access

• Santa Fe, New Mexico – Cultural depth, creativity, and warmth

• Park City, Utah – Scenic views, elevated conversations

• Bozeman, Montana – Big sky clarity and rustic peace

• Charleston, South Carolina – History, hospitality, and soul

• Stowe, Vermont – New England nature, heritage, and intimacy

• Big Sur, California – Pacific cliffs, reflective spaces

• Austin, Texas – Urban energy meets retreat-worthy spaces

 

We will open a poll for our fellows soon to help us decide. Your input is essential, and your presence will help define the retreat’s energy and impact.

​

MORE DETAILS COMING SOON

The retreat will include:

• Fellowship-only workshops and breakout sessions

• Fireside conversations with national leaders

• Reflective outdoor time and wellness programming

• Space for storytelling, strategy, and rest

 

Fellows will receive early access and RSVP priority.

 

Stay tuned—and start dreaming.
