The Ronin Project is all healing, transformation, and empowerment. We are building a space where people can reconnect with themselves and their purpose through therapy, fitness, art, beauty, yoga, and other soul-enriching experiences. Whether someone is overcoming trauma, navigating life transitions, or just looking for community and growth, the Ronin Project offers a supportive environment that helps people heal and thrive - mind, body, and soul.

About Us

The Ronin Project is a trauma-informed nonprofit dedicated to helping people heal and reclaim their lives through movement, creativity, connection, and care. We serve veterans, survivors, returning citizens, and others impacted by trauma through holistic services like mentorship, fitness, creative arts, and wellness coaching (to name a few). We are assembling a team of mission-driven professionals, including trainers, mentors, and educators, to serve our communities. With both virtual and in-person (coming soon!) programs, we operate nationwide using a grassroots, community-based approach. Our mission is to provide accessible, soul-enriching support that empowers individuals to rebuild, reconnect, and thrive.

Statement of Need: Addressing Trauma and Isolation Through Human Connection

Trauma does not just wound the mind—it isolates the soul. Individuals carrying traumatic experiences often report feeling profoundly disconnected, not only from others but from themselves. This isolation, if left unaddressed, can have long-term consequences for mental, emotional, and even physical health.

According to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, 70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives, equating to over 223 million people.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that people who experience trauma are significantly more likely to develop mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
A study published in The Journal of Traumatic Stress found that social isolation intensifies PTSD symptoms, creating a cycle of withdrawal and worsening emotional health.
Harvard University researchers highlight that chronic loneliness and social isolation increase the risk of premature death by 29%, making the emotional toll of trauma a critical public health issue.

Isolation within trauma is especially dangerous because it cuts people off from the very thing most likely to help them heal—human connection.

Our Solution: Reconnecting Through Community, Creativity, and Care

At the Ronin Project, we are building a bridge back to humanity for people who feel trapped in their trauma. We focus on:

Fitness to rebuild the mind-body connection and empower individuals to feel strong and capable again.
Art to provide an outlet for self-expression, storytelling, and transformation.
Holistic healing practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and energy work to reconnect people with their inner selves.
Intentional human connection through community events, peer mentorship, and shared healing experiences.

Our approach is not just about treating symptoms—it’s about restoring dignity, purpose, and belonging. Because we believe the best medicine for trauma is human connection.

Because fighting back takes strength - in mind, body, and spirit.

Us in a Nutshell

The Ronin Project isn't about hand-holding - it's about accountability, real tools, and bold transformation. We serve justice-impacted individuals, veterans, caregivers, and trauma survivors who are ready to rise. Our programs aren't built on pity - they are built on purpose.

The Ronin Project's core values are Strength, Respect, and Understanding.

The first step to recovery is respect. Respect for oneself and one's family.

True healing comes from understanding not only your trauma but also your value.
