STORIES FROM THE FIELD

────────∿────────

Stories From the Field is the personal side of Meaning & Porpoise.

It brings together lived experiences involving military service, addiction, recovery, mental health, loss, community, rebuilding, and finding purpose after hardship.

The stories are meant to be read as lived experience, not as instructions or treatment. They provide the background and context behind the lessons, ideas, and recovery work developed throughout Meaning & Porpoise. 

Written by a Canadian Armed Forces veteran, it combines storytelling, visuals, practical exercises, and music to create an immersive, three-dimensional reading experience. 

Its design is informed by peer-reviewed research on readability and conformity, making it one of the easiest and most comfortable PDF you’ll ever engage with, because we understand how difficult it can be to even look at a book when you’re not feeling well.

Meaning & Porpoise Recovery

────────∿────────

Meaning & Porpoise Recovery presents the proposed novel recovery-program side of the project.

It brings together practical lessons, routines, reflection, service, physical activity, outdoor experiences, community connection, and structured exercises intended to support people as they rebuild stability, character, and purpose in everyday life.

The program is still being developed and should be understood as a proposed peer-support and recovery framework, not as established medical treatment, psychotherapy, or a substitute for professional care.

It is intended to be questioned, tested, improved, and developed responsibly with input from people with lived experience and qualified professionals. 

Our intent is to continue developing it with input from Veterans, Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP members, First Responders, people with lived experience, qualified professionals, and relevant organizations and institutions.
