2022 will mark twelve years of PNH working to restore hope for all Veterans and their families where hope may have been lost. As a New England-based, military-affiliated, resource hub, we find and deliver the wellness resources needed by Veterans, Service Members, their families, and units currently deployed together. Our food and baby pantries provide basic needs and nutrition to many military families. Our social events and outreach activities provide connection and peer support. Our retreats provide hands on healing opportunities for military servicemen, Veterans, and families who have experienced the invisible wounds of war.
Our new case management program helps “connect the dots” for those struggling with the inherent complexity of our current military system. PNH is connected to all branches of the US Military, working closely with Veteran Service Organizations, VA programs and organizations. PNH is unique in that our interactions focus on each individual and family and what they need and hope for themselves, and for their children.
Event starts at our sponsor, Wagner Motorsports located at 700 Plantation Street in Worcester. The Police escorted ride will end at The Vernon Hill American Legion Post 435, 267 Providence Street, Worcester, MA.

Living at Peace with our Un-peacefulness.
Post Traumatic Stress, Military and combat trauma are more than just a set of psychological symptoms, such as sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. The more fundamental injuries are moral and spiritual in nature. Mindfulness-Meditation provides a road map that can support the practitioner in navigating a road to living at peace with un-peacefulness.
In this retreat we will learn meditation practices that are rooted in our daily life activities. These meditation practices can support us in coming to terms with the emotional, spiritual, and moral wounds of our training and combat services. Hundreds of Veterans have found these retreats invaluable in discovering how to live at peace with our un-peacefulness.
In Vietnam Claude AnShin Thomas, native of Pennsylvania, survived as a helicopter crew chief being shot down five times. On the fifth occasion, in mid-1967, he was shot down in the Mekong Delta. The pilot and commander were killed, and the gunner and Thomas were wounded. Thomas received 25 Air Medals, the equivalent of 625 combat hours, and 625 combat missions. Thomas also received the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Purple Heart.
1995 Claude AnShin Thomas became fully ordained as a Zen Buddhist in the Japanese Soto Zen tradition. He is the author of AT HELL’S GATE: A Soldier’s Journey from War to Peace (Shambhala 2004) and Bringing Meditation to Life (Oakwood Publishing, 2021). He has taken vows of mendicancy, meaning that he is reliant on the generosity of others for his sustenance. He has no permanent home but serves others through almost constant travel. So, the years and months of COVID have provided quite some challenges to this lifestyle.
This retreat is for individual Veterans and/or Couples
