What it is

Welcome to our creative service stream—Tailored Therapeutic Experiences—where healing is not one-size-fits-all. At Ember Centre, we understand that the most meaningful therapeutic experiences are often the ones that have the ability to break away from mainstream. This service is designed for individuals, families, youth, and groups looking for customized therapeutic offerings that honour their unique needs, identities, and life circumstances. Whether you're navigating grief, rebuilding after burnout, or simply seeking reconnection, we’re here to co-create something powerful and restorative.

What it looks like at Ember Centre

At Ember, we specialize in crafting personalized therapeutic experiences that move beyond the walls of conventional therapy rooms. These may include:

• Nature-based day sessions

• Healing or grief-processing circles

• Family group sessions outdoors

• Youth-specific group programs (including those in care or justice-involved)

• Group retreats focused on healing, reflection, and reconnection

• Team-building experiences for workplaces or sports teams

• Therapy intensives or guided camping experiences

• Restorative Justice 

Each experience is designed and facilitated by our trained clinicians and facilitators with your needs in mind, incorporating trauma-informed practices, cultural safety, and relational approaches. Whether it's a weekend camping trip for a youth group, a grief circle for front-line providers, or an outdoor family session, no two Ember experiences are alike.
