Why We Created Whole Again
Healing in today’s world often happens in fragments — a session here, a practice there, a random video from social media — when what people truly need is a space where their body, psyche, and spirit can begin to move together again.
So many people touch pieces of healing without finding the thread that weaves those pieces together. Without skilled, integrated guidance, they often end up with poor outcomes — still feeling disconnected, frustrated, or unchanged, and blaming themselves.
Fragmentation itself is what causes much of our suffering. It separates us from parts of ourselves, from one another, and from the natural world that holds us.
Whole Again was created to counter that — a guided, relational space where healing happens in connection, not in isolation.
Here, you are held by experienced therapists and a supportive community who understand this work deeply — who will walk beside you as you remember your wholeness and begin to feel seen, grounded, and alive again.

You’re Here Because…
You’re ready to take a big step forward in your healing.
You’ve done the work — therapy, yoga, journalling, reflection, mindfulness – but nothing seems to stick.
On the outside, you’re grounded and capable. Inside, you’re holding tension, fatigue, and a quiet disconnection that you can’t quite name.
You might be going through a transition — a shift in work, relationship, or sense of purpose — and you’re realizing that what used to sustain you no longer does. You want to feel inspired, rested, and more connected to yourself again.
You might be living with…
-
Persistent fatigue that rest doesn’t fully repair
-
Subtle anxiety or inner tension that never really settles
-
Overwhelm or overstimulation, even when things are “fine”
-
Emotional flatness or disconnection from joy and inspiration
-
A sense of purpose fatigue — giving more than you’re receiving
-
Transitions that have shaken your usual sense of direction
- A lot of questions about what’s next? Where do you go from here?
You’re realizing that…
- Insight alone isn’t enough anymore; you want to embody what you know, not just understand it.
- You’re looking for something real — a structured, guided experience that brings together the psychological, somatic, and spiritual aspects of healing so you can feel truly whole again.
- You’re longing for a space where you don’t have to lead, fix, or perform — where you can simply be. Where other people will do the guiding, supporting, and teaching in an intentional, integrated way.
Whole Again was created for this stage of the journey — when you’re ready to go beyond maintaining and begin truly transforming. It’s for people who function well but feel depleted; who want to reconnect to their energy, purpose, meaning, joy and aliveness — and remember what wholeness actually feels like.
The Whole Again Pathway
Each Phase of the program builds on the one before it – guiding you from resourcing, to transformation, to integration.
Phase 1: Foundations of Wholeness
6-week in-person program | Fridays 4:30–6:30 PM | $750
In Phase 1, you’ll learn to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and build the internal safety needed to explore deeper healing work.
What You’ll Experience
- 6 x 2-hour group sessions combining yoga therapy, resourcing, and psychoeducation
- A personal workbook and weekly recorded yoga + visualization practices
- 1-month unlimited yoga pass at The Sanctuary (Creemore)
Weekly Themes
- Exploring the Pañca Maya (body–mind–spirit–energy–bliss): what does it really mean to feel whole, and to return to the Self?
- Understanding how life stressors, deep emotional wounds, and patterns from past experiences shape your nervous system—and your response to daily life.
- Learning embodied resourcing as the essential foundation for healing body/mind/spirit and achieving self-regulation.
- Supporting transformation through memory reconsolidation—a path to healing emotional imprints and relationship wounds, and toward feeling grounded, at ease, and deeply at home in your life.
- Uncovering the protective patterns and inner blocks that keep you stuck—and learning how to move through them with compassion.
- Cultivating presence and practice: shifting from intellectual understanding into embodied, lasting change.
You’ll Learn To:
- Understand where your overwhelm is coming from without judging it
- Regulate your nervous system and manage triggers
- Stay present during emotional or relational stress so you can make better choices
- Build daily resourcing practices that anchor you in grounding and awareness
- Know that the right practices, at the right time can bring you lasting relief
Phase 2 – The Intensive
5-day in-person psychotherapy + yoga therapy retreat | Creemore, ON | $2500
Phase 2 is an immersive retreat designed for deep, experiential transformation in a supportive group environment.
Here, you’ll apply the tools from Phase 1 which will allow you to have the courage to process whatever needs to be healed, reconnect to vitality, notice aspects of you that you have dissociated and awaken your inner strength. This is where the transformation happens.
Structure
- 5 full days (9:00am–6:00pm, may extend)
- Daily yoga therapy, resourcing, experientials and group psychotherapy

Phase 3 – Integration & Embodiment
4-week in-person group | Fridays 4:30–6:30 PM | $400 (or $535 with Sanctuary pass)
Integration is where healing becomes transformation.
This final phase helps you embody the shifts of the intensive, applying your insights to daily life and relationships. Healing is an ongoing process and here we’ll reflect on where you’ve arrived in your growth and where you are inspired to go next.
Structure
- 4 x 2-hour sessions (1 hour yoga + 1 hour group process)

By registering for all three phases together, you save $150 and receive a bonus 60-minute private psychotherapy integration session with Tara after the program to help anchor your growth and explore next steps.
Moving through each stage without interruption allows for greater continuity, depth, and support. It’s an investment in your wholeness — body, mind, and spirit — held from beginning to end by skilled guidance and compassionate community.
What People Take Away from Whole Again
Whole Again offers more than insight — it offers a felt sense of transformation that lasts after the program ends.
Participants consistently describe this program as life-changing because it meets them on every level: physical, psychological, and spiritual.
Embodied Safety
Learn what it feels like to be in your body without fear — holding sensation and emotion with steadiness.
The Ability to Be With, Not Fix
Discover that healing isn’t about eliminating pain but learning to stay present with compassion, step in with courage and move through towards clarity.
Reconnection to Self and Spirit
Rediscover inner guidance and the quiet strength beneath the noise.
Integration of Knowledge and Experience
Move from talking about healing to living it — from knowing to being.
Belonging and Shared Humanity
Experience community as medicine — being seen, supported, and mirrored in your growth.
A Blueprint for Ongoing Practice
Leave with tools that sustain nervous system regulation, inner clarity, and spiritual connection.

FAQ
Do I need yoga experience?
No, yoga therapy meets you where you are at. If you can breathe, you can practice yoga.
Can I use my insurance?
Often yes. Past participants have used their insurance to pay for the program. Some insurance providers will pay for the full program, others will only pay for the group psychotherapy aspects of the program. If your insurance provider covers psychotherapy provided by a social worker (MSW, RSW) you are likely covered. Some insurance companies are now recognizing yoga therapy as well. You will need to contact your insurance provider to find out more. We are happy to provide a pre-determination letter for your insurance provider and to work with you to make sure invoices meet your insurance provider’s criteria.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans. We are also able to connect you with Affirm to provide interest free loans. Contact us to find out more – info@cpyc.ca
What if I can't attend a session?
We understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes things come up. Because the Whole Again process builds week to week within a small, supportive group, make-up sessions and refunds aren’t available. We ask that you treat your attendance as a commitment to yourself and to the group — your presence truly matters.
Your consistent participation supports both your own healing and the collective experience of the group. We encourage you to plan ahead so you can be present for every session, on time and for the full duration.
Is this intensive right for me?
Phase 1 helps you build the foundational skills and self-awareness to know whether the Intensive is the right step for you. We also take care to screen for fit during your free consult call, ensuring that the program supports your growth and that you’ll feel resourced and ready for the depth of the work. Our goal is to ensure that everyone who joins the Intensive feels well-prepared, supported, and able to engage in the process safely.
Is group therapy safe?
Safety is a deeply personal experience. While we aim to create a supportive, attuned, ethical environment, true healing often asks us to step outside our comfort zones. Growth can bring moments of discomfort, and in this program you may encounter reflections, sensations, ideas, feedback, experiences or emotions you didn’t expect.
Our role is to help you develop the inner resources to meet those moments with steadiness. Through grounding, breathwork, visualization, and relational support, we teach you how to create safety within yourself — in your body, nervous system, and spirit — even as you explore material that once felt unsafe.
Memory reconsolidation and trauma integration work often involve turning toward the very experiences that have felt intolerable. When you do this while resourced and supported, your brain and body begin to release old reactions and create new pathways of choice and freedom.
We are not afraid to accompany you into the more difficult parts of your healing. As trained and embodied professionals, we hold the integrity, ethical grounding, and skill to guide you through those processes compassionately, honestly and skillfully.
Group work can bring moments of misunderstanding or tension — what we call empathic breaks. These are natural in any authentic healing relationship and, when worked through with care, often become some of the most powerful opportunities for transformation and repair. We feel comfortable facilitating these repairs and accompanying you and the group as everyone grows together, even through the discomfort.
Our intention is not to promise that you will always feel safe, but to help you become resourced enough to find safety within yourself, even in moments of challenge. We will walk with you in that process every step of the way.
Is group yoga therapy safe?
Our yoga therapy sessions are gentle, invitational, and trauma-informed. We never push or adjust you beyond your capacity. Instead, we guide you to notice your body’s cues, choose what feels right, and move at a pace that supports regulation and integration.
At times, connecting with the body can bring up emotion, memory, or sensation. This is a natural part of healing — your system is beginning to process what has been held. We’ll help you meet these experiences with breath, grounding, and curiosity, and you’ll always have the option to rest or modify.
The goal isn’t to avoid what arises, but to feel resourced enough to stay with yourself through it — cultivating trust, awareness, and the ability to feel at home in your body, breath and mind again.
What if something comes up after I register? Do you offer refunds?
Because of the small-group, experiential nature of this program, refunds are not available once registration is confirmed, except under the following circumstances:
-
If Whole Again must be cancelled by us for any reason, participants will receive a full refund.
-
In cases of significant personal emergency (e.g., death in the family, hospitalization), we may review requests on a case-by-case basis.
We are unable to offer refunds or credits for missed sessions, partial attendance, illness, or scheduling conflicts. This is to preserve the integrity of the group process and ensure fairness for all participants.
We encourage you to register only when you are ready to commit fully to the dates and process. Your spot in the program is held specifically for you, and your presence is an important part of the group experience.
Your Facilitators
Founder of Collingwood Psychotherapy and Yoga Centre
Tara is an intuitive relational psychotherapist and yoga therapist who has been working in the social service field since 2000. With over 20 years of full-time clinical experience, she supports people through deep healing and transformation. She is the founder of the Collingwood Psychotherapy & Yoga Centre, where she brings together depth psychology, yoga therapy, and somatic practice into an approach that is both grounded and transformative.
Her education includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto, a Diploma in Relational Psychotherapy from the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy, and advanced certification as a Yoga Therapist from Yoga Therapy Toronto as well as multiple yoga teacher trainings and a lifelong yoga practice. Tara has also trained extensively in trauma-informed therapies, depth psychology, and yoga studies with internationally recognized teachers in both psychotherapy and yoga.
Tara is passionate about helping therapists and healers access their own depth so they can guide others from a place of embodiment rather than theory alone. Her work is warm, clear, and unflinching, inviting people into the kind of honesty and renewal that creates lasting change.
She has a gift for weaving together ancient practices and modern psychology, and for using her clair abilities to attune to the subtle layers of a person’s healing. Tara holds the kind of safe-yet-challenging space where people feel both supported and stretched — and inspired to become more fully themselves. She believes that when therapists embody their own healing, their client work becomes more real, grounded, and transformative.
Founder of The Sanctuary, Creemore
Sass is a senior yoga teacher and yoga therapist who has been teaching in Canada since 2005. She spent years studying abroad in India, Nepal, and Taiwan, and has led retreats both nationally and internationally. With undergraduate degrees in Physical and Health Education, Science, and Education — and a Masters in Counselling Psychology underway — Sass brings a rich, multidisciplinary perspective to her work. Sass studied under Ante and Felicia at Yoga Therapy Toronto to achieve her advanced yoga therapy certification.
As the founder of The Sanctuary in Creemore, Sass has created a welcoming community space where yoga, healing, and connection thrive. Gentle, grounded, and deeply attuned, she has worked with clients across a wide spectrum — from elite athletes to people living with chronic illness, pain, or disability.
Sass is known for her grounded, embodied presence and her ability to gently invite people into deeper awareness of themselves. She draws on the power of breath and pranayama to support healing, often weaving yogic breathing and sound healing into her classes and therapeutic work. Guided by a love of nature and simplicity, Sass creates soothing environments that allow people to slow down, reconnect, and feel deeply cared for.
Her intuitive healing process is rooted in warmth, compassion, and presence. Many describe her energy as calming and quietly transformative — helping people meet themselves with self-compassion while opening to profound inner shifts.
Her yoga therapy approach is finely tuned to the needs of each person, helping them regulate their nervous system, reconnect with their body, and discover new pathways of healing. Sass’s classes and therapeutic work carve out space for stillness and recalibration, helping people re-enter their lives with clarity, resilience, and vitality.
