Experiences that Connect
Mountain muskox trauma support circles
JTC collaborates with Mountain Muskox - Inspired by the protective circle of the muskox, Mountain Muskox is a healing community for those who have experienced loss or trauma in mountain environments. Our monthly peer-support circles are professionally facilitated, trauma-informed, and grounded in belonging. These three-hour gatherings include check-ins, learning topics, and optional sharing — offering a safe space to process, connect, and grow. While not a replacement for individual therapy, our circles provide a powerful complement: emotional connection, validation, and peer-driven growth. Chapters run in multiple mountain regions, including the Columbia Valley (Golden, BC), Bow Valley, Sea to Sky, and the Kootenays.
We also host Immersion Weekends, focused on deeper connection, creative exploration, and co-regulation — combining shared reflection, somatic practices, and time in nature. Mountain Muskox.
Participating in circles is FREE and donations are encouraged for sustainability of the circles.
Community Mental Health Education
Our facilitated psychoeducation sessions bring mental wellness into the workplace — for adventure tourism groups, resort teams, school district staff and more. Through destigmatizing conversations, we explore the Mental Wellness Continuum, normalize mental health challenges, and offer experiential exercises tailored to the unique rhythms of your team, mountain work and play. These sessions encourage open dialogue, build resilience, and foster a culture of care across your team or organization.
