Transitioning from active-duty CAF or RMCP member to Veteran status can be a challenging mission. The Pepper Pod is a place for women facing the unique realities of civilian life to build a network of support. At the centre, women discover a shared cultural experience that creates space for mutual understanding and healing.
The Pepper Pod relies on the support of companies like Lockheed Martin Canada to deliver multiple transition-related Lifeshop retreats where veterans participate in a series of personal growth and healing exercises. Psychological neuro-linguistic programming tools are used to tap into limiting beliefs and help identify stress triggers and patterns. The programs are not therapy, but an opportunity to connect with others through a shared culture and background, develop profound friendships, and discover resources – essentially teaching participants how to lean on each another through challenging transitions – a true Pepper Pod experience.
