GA Becoming An Outdoors Woman

10/23/2026

🌿 HAS BEGUN!!! 💙❤️

Our hearts are FULL, and honestly, gratitude doesn’t even begin to describe what we’re feeling right now!

This weekend, Women Veterans were awarded more than HALF of the available scholarships for Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) Weekend, creating an incredible opportunity for women veterans to explore, learn, connect, and experience the healing power of the outdoors.

And when we tell you this means EVERYTHING! 🥹

It’s not just about scholarships. It’s about removing barriers, creating access, building community, and opening doors to experiences our women may not have otherwise had.

We want to extend a special THANK YOU to Kim from for your friendship, partnership, and commitment to making these opportunities possible. Kim, working with you has been easy, breezy, and such a joy! 💕

We’re also incredibly proud that our founder, Vedia, will be serving as a keynote speaker this weekend!

We’re surrounded by amazing women, beautiful scenery, and endless possibilities. And we’re just getting started!

THIS is what happens when women support women. This is what community looks like. This is why we do the work. 🫶🏽

Here’s to new adventures, lifelong connections, and a weekend we’ll never forget!

For us, getting outdoors is about more than recreation. It’s about creating spaces where women veterans can reconnect with themselves, discover new possibilities, and experience the power of sisterhood.

Here’s to new adventures, stepping outside our comfort zones, and making memories that last! 🌲✨

We Served. We Heal. We Thrive.

We believe healing happens in community.

Connection is the intervention. Nature is the setting. Belonging is the outcome.

At The Vet Space, we’re creating outdoor experiences where women veterans can reconnect—with nature, with themselves, and with one another. Whether it’s a hike, paddle, retreat, or simply sharing stories around a campfire, every moment is an opportunity to build community and prioritize wellness.

Because no one should have to navigate life after service alone.

Holding Space. Honoring Indigenous Voices. 💙🥾❤️

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, The Vet Space is holding space for the Indigenous women who have served, the ancestors whose stories deserve to be remembered, and the generations continuing to lead, protect, and preserve their communities.

We recognize that Indigenous women have a long history of service, courage, leadership, and resilience both within and beyond the United States Armed Forces.

We also acknowledge that honoring Indigenous peoples means more than recognizing their contributions to military service. It means respecting their sovereignty, cultures, histories, and lived experiences.

To our Indigenous sisters in service and beyond: We see you. We honor you. We hold space for you.

May we continue building a community where every woman veteran feels seen, heard, respected, and valued.

💙❤️🥾Your story matters. Your service matters. Your presence matters.
