The Camaraderie Mosaic Project | Peer Support Groups

THE CAMARADERIE MOSAIC PROJECT Proudly Sponsored by the City of Brampton Bros Before Lows Foundation is a Brampton-based nonprofit dedicated to creating safe, judgment-free spaces where men can connect, have meaningful conversations, express themselves, and build genuine brotherhood. Through our FORCE 184 initiative , Bros Before Lows is preparing a growing network of trained facilitators who can bring meaningful conversations, peer connection, and supportive programming to men in communities across Canada. ABOUT THE PROJECT We are looking for 12 men, ages 18+, who live in the City of Brampton to participate in The CAMHaraderie Mosaic Project . This five-session program brings men together through conversation, community connection, artistic expression, wellness experiences, and peer support . IMPORTANT: FIVE-SESSION COMMITMENT We are specifically looking for participants who can commit to attending all five sessions. Each session is part of the overall experience, giving participants the opportunity to build familiarity, trust, and meaningful connections with one another throughout the program. Only 12 participant spaces are available.

While many people refer to this type of practice as a "Sound Bath," Deb describes her work as a Sound Experience or Sound Journey , using sound and vibration to create an opportunity to relax, reflect, and experience a different form of wellness and artistic expression. The three sessions will build upon one another, allowing participants to explore sound, relaxation, reflection, and connection as the group continues to grow together.
