Warrior's Way Foundation
Information & Opportunity Program

Tai Chi for balance in mind, body, and spiritThe Information & Opportunity Program (InOpP) offers military and civilian warriors and their families, in any stage or aspect of warrior life, the opportunity to receive training through StoneWind Institute for Mind Body Medicine in a range of holistic healing modalities referred to as "Complementary and Alternative Medicine" (CAM) and "Mind Body Medicine" by the National Institutes of Health. All of the modalities offered through Warrior’s Way are completely compatible with western medical treatment, and the three primary ones (Reiki, Meditation, Qigong) are recommended as outpatient therapies at major medical centers.

Through preferential fee arrangements with StoneWind Institute, located adjacent to our residency facilities, the Foundation offers warriors and their families access to training and treatment in three major CAM modalities—Meditation, Reiki, and Qigong—in formats specifically designed to address warrior concerns and needs.

Other courses in mind body medicine offered at StoneWind are also available to resident and non-resident warriors under the Foundation’s InOp Program, although the additional courses may not be specifically geared to warrior life and concerns.

To participate in the InOpP, applicants must fall under the InOpP Eligibility Guidelines and must make a one time application. Upon verification of eligibility, the Program Committee will issue the applicant(s) a permanent InOpP ID number. ID holders may then register through Warrior's Way Foundation for classes in the InOp Program in Chester, AR or request assistance through The Foundation in scheduling classes in their city of residence or on their home base.

All requests for classes or treatments by StoneWind teachers/practitioners must be made through Warrior's Way Foundation in order to benefit from the Warrior's Way preferential fee schedule.

There are two divisions of the InOp Program:

Division I. InOp Resident Program (InOpRP) provides warriors and their family members who are in residency at Warrior's Way or who live close enough for travel to Chester, AR, the opportunity to learn Meditation, Reiki, and/or Qigong or to receive treatment in holistic modalities by attending day classes/treatment sessions offered specifically for warriors at StoneWind Institute for Mind Body Medicine, Chester, AR. All options for study or treatments must be arranged through Warrior's Way Foundation to be eligible for the preferential Warrior's Way fee schedule. Most classes are offered over a weekend. Treatment sessions are arranged by appointment.

Division II: InOp Outreach Program offers warriors and their families who live too far from Arkansas for on site visits the option to organize courses for themselves and other warriors in Reiki, Meditation, Qigong, and other methods of mind body medicine for presentation in their own cities or on their home bases. Warrior's Way Foundation, working with those admitted to the InOpP, will arrange for StoneWind teachers to present the classes in the same formats as available to warrior residents at the Chester facilities.
