“At first, the veterans were hesitant - even suspicious. Trust took time. But as they gained confidence on the bike, conversations opened. One veteran told me, ‘THIS SMALL TALK WE HAVE WHILE WE RIDE… THIS IS MY BIG TALK.’ Soon we heard things like, ‘This is the first time I’m saying this out loud.’" ~ Geerz Instructor

"One young father, who had never spoken before, admitted he hoped his son wouldn’t remember the years he was emotionally absent. THE WHOLE GROUP SURROUNDED HIM WITH SUPPORT. These breakthroughs happen because Geerz creates a safe, structured place where healing becomes possible.” ~ Geerz Instructor

Each one of us has an invisible wound which affects us differently. Being able to sit here and OPENLY DISCUSS MY PAIN WITH A GROUP THAT UNDERSTANDS ME and what I’m going through is so healing. I truly feel like I’m no longer alone!” ~ E.S. Retired Sergeant - Israel Police Special Forces

"The Geerz group gave a platform for my pain and for the pain... There’s no time for that in everyday life - not during reserve duty, not with family, and not at work. These are places where I always have to show up as ‘my best.' In the group, I don’t have to be my best; I CAN BE NOT AT MY BEST. I CAN BE WHAT I FEEL.” ~ Amit H., IDF Judean Brigade Veteran
