Group Intensive
A 5-day immersive healing intensive for clients ready to deepen their therapy work within a supportive group field.
Group Intensive is for clients already engaged in psychotherapy, who are ready to explore deeper relational, energetic, and ancestral work.
Held in Creemore, Ontario, this 5-day intensive offers a supportive space for deep individual healing in community. Each day includes yoga grounding practices, extended healing sessions, group witnessing, nervous system support, and integration.
Why We Created the Group Intensive
Some healing work deepens when it is held in the presence of others.
This intensive was created for clients who are ready to move beyond therapy as usual and experience the power of individual healing within a supportive group field. Each participant has the opportunity to do deep personal work while being witnessed by others in a space of safety, attunement, and coherence.
The group is not a passive audience. It becomes part of the healing container. As one person works, others may feel their own material arise, soften, or shift. This relational field can help amplify the work and support a deeper sense of connection, compassion, and repair.
This is healing the self in the presence of others. The work is personal, but it is not isolated. Each person’s healing contributes to the whole.
What You’ll Experience in the Group Intensive
Individual healing work held within a sacred group field
This intensive brings together depth psychotherapy, yoga, breath, meditation, nervous system support, and relational witnessing.
Each day begins with yoga, pranayama, and meditation to help anchor the nervous system. From there, participants move into extended healing sessions facilitated by Tara. While one person is working, the rest of the group witnesses, regulates, and holds the energetic container.
You’ll begin to explore:
- how deep individual healing can be supported by relational witnessing
- how your own material may arise while witnessing another person’s process
- how yoga, breath, and meditation can support nervous system readiness
- how safety, attunement, and coherence support deeper transformation
- how personal healing can contribute to a larger field of connection and repair
Who Is This Intensive For?
The Summer Healing Group Intensive is for people who are already engaged in deep therapeutic work and feel ready for a more immersive healing experience.
This intensive may be a fit if you are:
- currently engaging in depth, attachment and trauma focused psychotherapy
- actively working with a trauma informed therapist
- ready to do deep personal work in a group setting
- comfortable with extended periods of self-inquiry, stillness, and presence
- feeling called to integrate your healing journey in a more relational, embodied, and spiritually attuned way
This intensive may not be the right fit if you are:
- in acute crisis or without sufficient support outside the group
- looking for traditional talk therapy or a peer-support style group
- unsure about doing individual healing work while being witnessed by others
- not currently engaged in therapy or CRM-based healing work
- needing a more private or one-to-one therapeutic container at this time

A Sacred Container for Individual and Collective Healing
While each participant receives individual attention in the healing seat, the entire group is an integral part of the process.
As you witness another person’s session, your own material may surface. This is not a distraction from the work. It is part of the work.
Each person’s healing contributes to the collective field, and the group becomes a living ecosystem of coherence, compassion, and transformation.
