Operation Juliet is a Montana-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to restoring resilience through community and healing for female veterans. Our programs create safe, trusted spaces where women who have served can connect with one another, participate in holistic healing experiences, and rebuild the sense of belonging that is often lost after military service. Our signature program is a multi-day wellness retreat designed specifically for female combat veterans, combining peer connection with evidence-based experiences such as equine and art therapy, songwriting, yoga and breathwork, reflection, and purpose-centered programming.
