I want to be upfront that I’m here because I respect what this space stands for resilience, rebuilding, and growth through adversity, and I want to learn from people who have actually lived that. My profile picture reflects a big part of why I’m here. To me, it represents strength through unity different hands, different paths, all supporting something greater. That idea of mutual support and regeneration really resonates with me, especially in a world where a lot of people try to go it alone. I’m here to listen, learn, and contribute where it makes sense, without taking away from the purpose of the group. I respect the space you’ve built and I’m glad to be part of it.

Welcome @Gero Strobel to the community. Please introduce yourself and let's us know why you're here.

Welcome to The Regenerative Veteran @Shawn Marvin . Look forward to your input.

This last week was spent in Oregon with my team mates, my buddies, my brothers. These three men and I have known each other for over 20 years. They have supported this thing, Old Earth Farms, I've been working on since day one. Timing is everything in nature and it holds true to human nature as well. For years we have talked about meeting up, have met here or there for occasions but never to just be in the same place for no other reason than to be there. This had to happen. It's a collective feeling that it could not have come at any better time. What started out, in my mind, as a structured retreat with daily lessons and organized time frames quickly became something so much better. There were lessons, practical applications, and examples found in nature, but it all happened organically. Which, in the end was the real point anyway. For life to find itself through it's own means. We all came away from the experience with a lighter load to bear, we learned from each other, we went our separate ways at the end ready for whatever was waiting. We did so with resilience we did so as Regenerative Veterans. Or I don't know.?.....

Let's welcome @Jared Sahlberg to the community. He is doing some work with food for veterans. Salhlberg, can you explain what you're working on?
