Mountain Muskox

Mountain Muskox offers circles of support for people who have been impacted by loss or trauma in the mountains.

It takes a community to heal.  

The impact of mountain incidents does not have to be carried alone.

Inspired by the protective circle of the muskoxen, our peer circles can provide healing safety, connection and support. We are a group of mountain community members coming together with professional facilitators to create a sustainable support network for those who have gone through a traumatic event in the mountains.

As mountain enthusiasts, we understand the rewards gained from time spent in these magical places, but do we ever truly appreciate the darkness that they can also bring?

These impacts ripple through family and community. The need for help is real and growing. We aim to be another layer within circles of support.

Mountain incidents can be traumatic for those involved and those who are connected through community. The impacts can overwhelm an individual's ability to cope, cause feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and diminish a sense of self.

“Sharing the valleys and the storms together is as important if not of greater importance than sharing the summits and sunrises”
