Halcyon Healing Center, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Carthage, North Carolina. Halcyon fosters a supportive, welcoming community for military service members, veterans, spouses, and children to decompress from intensity, reconnect with copacetic surroundings, and find their footing after emotional and physical trauma. Combined with a network of like-minded souls who have “been there, done that” in terms of military experiences, this is a realm to experience flourishing.

 This is a return to authenticity.

Our Mission

Through the use of progressive “flow state” engagements with horsemanship, on-site engagements, and off-site excursions, individuals can “reset” and again begin to feel solid. By pausing to assess the scenario and evaluate options, one can make the best decision in choosing to respond. Being given the necessary space to process, reflect, and work through the past is one of the first steps to countering trauma experiences.

Physical and psychological trauma can change us. Our likes and dislikes, our hopes and dreams, our responses and personality; in essence, our entire identity can shift, or even be erased. Without question, both physical and mental trauma can trigger experiences of loss, of pain, of grieving.

But you know what counts as a silver lining? Having the opportunity to choose what the new identity will become. You get to select how to move forward, how to discover your new self, and how to define your new interests.

You get to decide how you are going to flourish.

Why not make it a beautiful adventure?
