Muskox Immersion Weekend: Connect, Learn, Grow
What it’s all about.
This year our two day immersion is focused on connection, making sense of our experiences and growing into next steps as individuals and as a community.
We will blend an understanding of how we are wired, how we are impacted by trauma, and how an embodiment of wonder can not only support us, but also open the door to play with possibilities. Our hope is that you walk away with new ideas around how to support yourself, and to feel better equipped to support others.
Who, When, Where.
This weekend is not the same as our monthly chapter meetings. Our time together happens indoors and outdoors. We will blend educational content with time to connect to each other and the land.
Who:
Doors are open to folks who have been impacted by trauma or loss in the mountains AND those aiming to support people in our adventure communities.
While this circle is not a substitute for therapy or critical incident support, it is an opportunity to deepen self awareness and open to the support of people who get it.
We have a maximum participant number of 30 people. Registration will be accepted on a first come first serve basis.
When:
September 21 & 22, 2024 — 9am-4pm
Where:
A 15-minute drive east of Canmore - directions will be sent to all registered participants.
Camping Option:
Confirmed registrants have an option to camp on site for a fee. After registration is confirmed we can follow up with details

Cost & Registration.
Cost, Sliding Scale:
The suggested investment in this weekend is a sliding scale between $200-$500 (or more, if you feel you are able).
The cost taken on by Mountain Muskox to run this weekend is $12,000 and our maximum participant number is 30 people. We are hoping that by offering a sliding scale we’ll be able to cover a significant portion (or maybe all!) of the associated costs.
