Wake Up From WAR, Come Home to PEACE!

by Lisa Scally (Illustrator), Emily Scally (Illustrator), Alaya Chadwick

Overview

This is story of Hope and Truth for all who have been touched by WAR. Written by Alaya, a consummate storyteller and author of Wake Up to Your (W)hole Life, and Alaya's Fables, this book was written in direct response to two veterans who came into Alaya's life suffering from PTSD. Written for veterans, their wives, husbands, children, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents – this is an original and inspired response to their struggles and their longing to return home. At its heart it addresses two elements: The homecoming of the veteran AND the root cause of war. Through story, images and imbedded experiences, the reader is impacted at deep and profound levels of spirit, mind, body, and heart. This book approaches PTSD from the heart and soul of each of us and on behalf of the world at war. In truth we all have a form of trauma wounding due to the amount of war in our world.

About the Author

Alaya Chadwick, MSW, M.Div., LICSW, Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, Teaching Reiki Master, founder and director of The (W)hole Point Institute, LLC, and author.

In 2013 Alaya hosted a training workshop for Faith Leaders and Community Members with a member of Soldier’s Heart. She has co-facilitated several Soldiers’ Circle healing ceremonies for local veterans and their families. It was from these ceremonies where she was inspired to write Wake Up to WAR, Come Home to PEACE! in response to the question from many veterans of how to come home for real. Alaya’s father was an Air Force veteran, who ultimately committed suicide, in part because of his war experiences. Her step-father was a Navy veteran.

She and her husband are currently hosting Keith Howard, Executive Director of Liberty House in Manchester, NH, with his Tiny House Pilot Experiment (a possible solution for homeless veterans where they have converted a trailer into a tiny house). Keith has been living in this tiny house to determine if it’s a workable response to an overwhelming need.
