Purpose

The premise for the idea is to create a sanctuary based on an eco-village designed to assist soldiers and veterans suffering from complications associated with PTSD and their families.

My thoughts are that being productive with hands on activities (perhaps even learning/assisting in a trade) in an environment such as woodland or farmland, close to a city, supported by others who are going through the same thing as well as health care professionals and various spiritual advisers, would enable them to reduce the immediate stresses and triggers 'normal' society places on them and allow a deeper and more thorough healing process.
