Reimagined Consciousness

The “Awakened You” retreat was a delight from beginning to end. Not least because Carmyn and Jeff are themselves delightful, warm, and lovely human beings who are passionate about helping people identify and break through their limiting beliefs and barriers to embody their full beating hearts and expansive souls. Their undeniable authenticity creates a space where it feels easy to relax, give in to the process, share honestly and to feel safe to let go and be vulnerable. They truly want to help guide and inspire people to embody their most alive selves so they can live a passionately beautiful and abundant life, free from the shackles of imposed conditioning, self-doubts and fear. Throughout the day, they planned a range of engaging activities that enabled us to connect with our full selves, discussion was stirring and enlightening and I felt downright pampered from start to finish. Of course, when learning self-improvement techniques, the real test comes in their application. About two weeks after the retreat, I found myself swept up in the throes of a repetitive thought pattern that I was more than ready to release. So, I grabbed the workbook and my notes and put them to work. My ego was resisting but I know our brains are neuro-plastic and capable of changing so, reminding myself of this, I worked with the 3 principles that were at the heart of the teachings of the retreat and spent some time with them. I definitely felt some shifting in my thought patterns and some new shoots of awareness begin to grow the more I worked with the principles and exercises from that day. I also noticed they helped to remind me of other teachings I’ve worked with and to weave things together to culminate in deeper understandings of where this pattern was coming from and how I could continue to uproot it and replace it with new growth. I look forward to continuing this work and feel like these tools are actionable and valuable.Aside from the content of the retreat, the poolside location was so lovely, the food was divine and even the mint lemon water was a 10/10 thirst quenching experience. No stone was left unturned. Given that this was their first run of this retreat, and was so well done, I can only imagine how much it will grow and become more impactful as it matures. Ultimately, we are glorious works in progress and evolution is not only possible but worth celebrating. Along this path, Jeff and Carmyn will help to guide you, gently and wisely challenge you, celebrate your deepest truths and welcome you home to the wild garden of your soul.

Jeff and Carmyn are both wonderful community wellness leaders. During the retreat they both utilized their specialized gifts and skills and weaved them together to create a potent, safe and transformative container.I really loved Jeff’s grounded approach to explaining the mind and how it affects our actions, combined with Carmyn’s embodiment practices it felt like the entire day was well thought out and balanced to include something for the mind, body, AND soul.I learned a lot about inner child work, connecting with the present moment, and most importantly I had a huge moment of reclamation during the sound bath/ hypnotic meditation. Forever grateful for the healing I received that day.Highly recommended for those who are ready to step into their power.
