Healing Childhood Wounds: Reclaiming your Core Self
Deb Peters, PhD

This carefully curated experience facilitates exploration of the wounds and strengths of your inner little girl, cultivation of your relationship with her, and fully experiencing her in your body, mind, and spirit.

• The Setting in a comfortable lodge nestled in the beauty of nature with healthy nourishment provides a grounding and nurturing container.

• Opening and Closing Rituals honor the sacred nature of the inner work.

• Guided imagery using Active Imagination and Internal Family Systems concepts, allows access to the power of your own visualization and own ability to heal.

• Creative Expression provides opportunities for both visual imagery and written exploration to further develop your relationship with the little girl inside you.

• Qoya offers a powerful way to integrate your experience into your body through movement and access the wise, wild, and free nature you already possess.

• Connection with others creates a sense of safety and belonging.

We still have a few spots left!

Healing Childhood Wounds: Reclaiming Your Core Self
Saturday September 13, 2025 9 am - 5 pm

I am so excited to welcome my co-facilitator, Jessica Durivage https://www.instagram.com/jessicadurivage/ for this day long retreat. Jessica is a transformational leader, ceremonialist, Qoya facilitator, and Director of Online Programming at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. As a certified Qoya facilitator, Jessica weaves movement, ceremony, and sacred storytelling into immersive experiences that awaken intuition and reconnect us with the wisdom of the body, the earth, and the unseen.

Qoya is a movement system based on the idea that through movement, we remember. We remember our essence is wise, wild, and free. Qoya Inspired Movement is an embodiment practice that weaves together thirteen different pillars to welcome all aspects of ourselves, bringing mind, body, heart and soul into awareness. Qoya classes are a place to strengthen our inherent resilience and both rest in and experience our essence.

I am thrilled that Jessica’s offering of Qoya for this retreat will facilitate a reawakening in our bodies of a deep knowing of our own Divine essence.

Wisdom Path is heartbroken about the devastation in western NC from Hurricane Helene. So many have experienced trauma and loss. Our community has been so inspirational in coming together to help each other with donations of food, water, and supplies. But, as therapists, we know the emotional needs will continue for months. We are trying to help by converting our Scholarship Fund to give priority to individuals who have been directly impacted through having experienced/witnessed life threatening trauma or loss of loved ones/loss or loss of job/insurance. If you need counseling for these issues, please call our office at 828-475-6544. You can download the scholarship application from our website: https://www.wisdompathnc.com/_files/ugd/f73bb5_bb7aefdb42f042eebc2663b2bf7780ce.pdf

Please consider donating to our Scholarship Fund to help individuals who have been traumatized. https://www.wisdompathnc.com/general-6

Thank you to the holistic providers who have donated to our Scholarship Fund so far:
