How did this program come to be?
Jasper experienced a devastating wildfire that shook the community physically, emotionally, and spiritually. While recovery is underway, we carry emotional burdens. Recognizing the diverse spiritual needs within the community, the Community Spiritual Circles aims to provide a consistent, welcoming space for Jasperites to find peace, connection, and grounding.
This program responds to growing local needs for healing, connection, and reflective space. Community Spiritual Circles will run monthly on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 6-8pm for 17 months. Each circle will be facilitated by different wellness/spiritual leaders.
Each circle will be thoughtfully curated to explore a unique theme related to spiritual wellness. The session will begin with the facilitator sharing their skillset, and will finish with food and casual connection.
- Free to attend.
- This offering is for residents of Jasper only.

Program Dates & Times:
Wednesday, October 14th 6–8pm Upstairs @ the Jasper Education and Employment Centre (631 Patricia Street).
When a House Doesn’t Feel Like Home. Join Registered Psychologist Jennifer Russell for a supportive conversation created specifically for those who have moved—or are preparing to move. Moving back can be a milestone in recovery, but it can also bring unexpected feelings of grief, loss, and uncertainty. A new place may not immediately feel like home, and adjusting to a new space after so much change can be more difficult than expected. Jenn will explore themes of grief, trauma, and transition, along with the emotions that often surface when returning home—offering experiential exercises and grounding tools to help you stay present and move through big feelings. Come together with others who may be navigating a similar experience. This is a space to connect, reflect, and better understand the unexpected emotions that can be part of moving forward.
This is the second last session for this program!
Food will be served.
Limited to 20 participants.
