Our Story
Founded by Matthew Brandt, a former first responder himself, Tactical Retreat Unplugged is a VA 501(c)3 Non- Profit that promotes, creates, and delivers transformational and creative off-grid experiences to support, educate and provide wellness services for first responders, veterans, and their spouses living with the challenges of cumulative trauma. We also are a remote venue where artists, musicians, and wellness practitioners can unplug, create and thrive.
Who We Are
We are a 501(c)3 Non-Profit created by Veterans and first responders for Veterans and first responders. We create and provide transformational experiences for those dealing with cumulative trauma. .
What We Do
We host a network of retreats, workshops, and events to provide resources for those seeking to improve their relationships or coping skills using the power of nature and connection.
Why We Do It
As trauma survivors ourselves, our vision is that all first responders, Veterans, and their spouses have the resources they need to ‘unplug’ and find mental and physical wellness in order to live their best lives.
