Harvesting Happiness

The G.E.T. I.T. Together program was developed by Master Peter Hill as a practical guide to promoting body/mind knowledge, physical / psychological / emotional power, and creating inner harmony, while resolving conflict and traversing the various worlds/roles that we move through.

Sgt. Andy Brandi’s mission is simple: changing and saving lives. By helping each and every Warrior understand they’ve walked off the battlefield far stronger than when they walked on, and to then use that strength to overcome the traumas of their experiences. This allows them not only to understand their feelings about their experiences are normal and to heal, thus preventing them from taking their lives and the lives of others. It also directs them toward life goals that benefit themselves and their loved ones and leads to a more productive and excellent future.

Speaker and author of The Warrior’s Guide to Insanity, Sgt. Brandi says, “Once they understand the savage side of their nature, they are on the road to healing. Sure, there will always be scars, but that’s the price we willingly pay to serve this nation. And I want them to feel comfortable in remembering the war, the loss of true friends and the pain we’ve shared as Brothers and Sisters. Because everything we’ve experienced in Battle makes us stronger, wiser and better human beings when we keep that focus; allowing others to be weaker than we are, and yet to help them to a position of strength that we as Warriors all have.”
