Therapeutic Cairn
(A Tabletop Roleplaying Game similar to Dungeons and Dragons)
You may be feeling stressed, stuck, anxious or down. Instead of sitting and talking about your feelings in a traditional therapy setting, you might want to try going on adventures and slaying dragons, all with the goal of bringing the skills and knowledge you gain in a roleplaying game into your daily life.
9 WEEK GROUP STARTING September 24th 2025 in Victoria, BC
This is a confidential in-person group that meets weekly for 9 weeks for a Cairn adventure, led by dungeon master and trained therapist David Denis. Prior to the start of group, participants will also have one individual meeting with David. During group, we will play through a custom fantasy roleplaying game adventure that will span across 9 weeks. Each session will have time for gameplay as well as discussion aimed at bringing the therapeutic elements from gameplay into our lives.
WHO SHOULD JOIN:
Anyone who struggles with anxiety, low mood, stress or other mental health problems is welcome. David will do a free introductory first call to make sure this group is right for you. You do not need any prior experience with Dungeons and Dragons, Cairn or therapy/counselling.
Anyone who is aged 18 and up is eligible for this group. If you are between 15 and 18 please contact David to be put on a list for an upcoming youth group.
