After months of planning, gathering the most incredible facilitator team, curating a nourishing menu, and adding a few playful new additions, we are finally ready to welcome everyone to our Annual Inner Child Retreat!

In just a few hours, our guests will arrive - open-hearted, ready to reconnect with themselves, and willing to unleash their inner child.

This retreat holds such a special place in our hearts. Through community, connection, and play, we create space to soften those deep inner child wounds we all carry into adulthood, and remind ourselves what it feels like to simply be.

If you missed this year, don’t worry - save the second weekend of September in your calendar for next year’s retreat.

And for those already en route: we can’t wait to hug you, laugh with you, and dive into a weekend of joy together!

Did you know many of our programs may be covered under your benefits?

Although we do offer 1:1 counselling, we truly believe we heal in community and are speciality is truly our group offerings.

Because of the therapeutic nature of what we offer, you might be eligible for coverage if your extended health plan includes counselling by a Registered Social Worker (RSW) for our Resilient Kids and Resilient Teen offerings, retreats, and group therapy (trauma group, anxiety group, psilocybin assisted therapy group) 

If you do not have an extended health plan, you may qualify under other approved providers such as:

✔ Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP)

✔ Autism Funding Unit (AFU)

✔ Veterans Affairs

✔ First Nations Health Authority (FNHA)

✔ ICBC

**New: Health Authorities with Pacific Blue Cross now cover RSW services with an additional $5000 supplementary benefit.

Unfortunately our yoga classes are not eligible for coverage at this time (hopefully one day! I do believe yoga is medicine!) 

If you aren't sure if you’re covered, email dawn@rvnwellness.com to request a pre-determination form.

Facilitator Spotlight:

Meet Dawn, owner of and founder of our Inner Child Retreat.

Therapist, yoga instructor, scuba divemaster, and all-around lover of life, Dawn infuses every space she holds with joy, play, and presence. She reminds us that growth doesn’t have to be heavy—that healing is about balance, curiosity, and sometimes not taking ourselves too seriously.

Join Dawn at the Inner Child Retreat and rediscover what it feels like to play, explore, and connect by the ocean.

Facilitator Spotlight on **Choni of the Woods**

**Psychotherapist • Earth Medicine Woman • Inner Child Advocate**

*“When we reconnect with our inner child, we rediscover joy, safety, and play — the medicine our bodies have always longed for.”*

Choni of the Woods is a **psychotherapist and earth medicine woman** who weaves together the wisdom of the nervous system, the playfulness of imagination, and the grounding power of plants and ritual. She believes healing is not only possible — it can be magical.

At the **Inner Child Retreat**, Choni guides participants along *The Fairy Path* — a whimsical map for understanding the nervous system. Through imagination, movement, and coloring, she helps people discover whether they are in the *Sunlit Meadow*, *Stormy Skies*, *Frozen Forest*, or crossing *The Bridge Between Worlds*. Each state is paired with a supportive plant ally: Lemon Balm, Chamomile, Yarrow, or Rose.

**Plant Medicine & Play**
Participants will not only learn but create:

*Magical Fairy Spray** — a sparkling mist for nervous system safety and play.
*Healing Salves** — crafted with plantain and yarrow, a protective balm for body and spirit.
*Lemon Balm Tincture Gift** — a little bottle of Meadow magic to carry home.

*Creative & Embodied Practices*
From fairy breathwork to thunder stomps, from lantern-heart meditations to swaying bridges, Choni invites each participant to reconnect with the wonder of childhood. Her approach blends **therapeutic depth with playful earth medicine**, allowing nervous systems to feel safe, regulated, and free.

*Why Join?*
Because your inner child deserves magic.
Because your nervous system deserves care.
Because you deserve to feel alive, playful, and at home in your body again.

Oh hey… still thinking about the Inner Child Retreat? What’s holding you back?

This isn’t just any retreat - it’s a weekend of pure magic right on the ocean.

It’s super affordable for everything that’s included and if you have extended health benefits, your spot may even be covered.

Being a teen is tough, and the mat can be a place to pause and tune in when the world feels too loud. 

Learning to trust and honour your own intuition is more than selfcare, it’s a vital life skill. When teens can recognize their inner voice, they are better able to set boundaries, stand in their power, and navigate challenging situations with confidence.

So many youth today struggle with anxiety, often feeling overwhelmed by pressure, social dynamics, and expectations. Somatic practices can help quiet the mind, ease anxious energy, and build tools for resilience that they can carry off the mat and into everyday life.

At RVN Wellness, we offer three ways for teens to connect with themselves and our community:

• Unlimited Student Membership - access to all adult regular classes (ages 13+) and many specialty classes. 

• Tween/Teen Asana Class - Tuesdays (almost full!)

• Resilient Teens Somatic Class - Mondays at 6:15 PM. A weekly taste of our favourite specialty practices: reiki, sound healing, reflexology, yoga, breathwork, aromatherapy, vocal empowerment, and more! Each week we have a different co-facilitator joining us to share a somatic healing tool. Past facilitators have included:
