Reconnect with Your Joy, Awaken Your Truth, and Remember Who You Are
In the Heart of Nature – Welland, Ontario
We all carry an inner light—a deep wisdom that knows exactly who we are and what we’re here to become. But in the busyness of life, we can lose touch with that truth. We forget to listen. We forget how free we really are.
The Awakened YOU Retreat is a weekend designed to bring you back home to yourself. It’s a space to slow down, breathe deep, and awaken what’s been waiting inside: your clarity, your courage, your aliveness.
Through embodiment, connection, play, and inner work, we’ll gently release old patterns, limiting beliefs, and stuck energy—while creating space for joy, expansion, and deeper alignment with who you truly are.
This retreat is about remembering your wholeness. Reclaiming your natural rhythm. And walking forward with more presence, more purpose, and more love.

Reviews of Jeff & Carmyn's Retreats & Services
Â
My experience was soul-nourishing and relaxing. The benefits I received were this super sweet and healing motherly love and care that felt extremely healing, especially after a session with Jeff. I really felt the sincere care and love you put into our session. I felt I could have been there for hours!! You have this gift of allowing your soothing and sweet energy speak for you. You make people feel seen. You make people feel cared for. Your love heals others. Thank you Carmyn đź’•

 Jeff's a great listener and is able to pick up patterns and words that were disempowering. He had a soothing, slow and patient voice to ground me and lead me through a visualization process. He’s very knowledgeable about the law of attraction and coaching/therapy which is a powerful combination.
Carmyn has a really healing and grounding energy you instantly feel at peace and at home and safe. She’s really intuitive and definitely has the power to pick up intuitive hits and messages! Just being around her gives you permission to be nothing but yourself and free
Gloria Lorelai
An excellent experience. I gained some insight and clarity into what I want to achieve in the coming years. It allowed me to focus on my greatest wants. Jeff helps you focus your mind on ways to improve yourself from thoughts within. He's a great facilitator in guiding your mind to conclusions or life paths.

"Amazing session last night. One of our best! When I was driving home, street light casted an amazing lengthily glow, my mind was clear and I felt elevated. The music was perfect in the moment and I felt like I was on another level. I've felt this a handful of times now and it's breathtaking, I never want it to end. Very serene drive home. I feel it's a sign of incredible progress. Thanks!"

 “Working with Jeff has given me an abundance of tools and resources for me to tune into what I want and how to get there, as well as helping me to build confidence and integrate what I am passionate about back into my life. We worked on developing the mindset that I needed to start taking steps towards the life I want to create. He is compassionate and high-spirited and he has a wealth of knowledge to share about building habits that stick and support your growth and well-being."

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATORS
Meet Carmyn & Jeff
Carmyn Faye
Carmyn Faye is a Soul Coach, Energy & Sound Healer, and co-founder of Reimagined Consciousness Collective. She creates transformational spaces that awaken primal wisdom, inner freedom, and vibrant aliveness through breath, sound, movement, and touch. Her work is rooted in the raw beauty of being fully human—real, embodied, and deeply connected.
A history of depression, anxiety, and addiction in her teens due to childhood abuse led Carmyn onto a healing and spiritual path in her late teens. Discovering meditation and inner child healing became a turning point—opening her to a deeper truth within and igniting a lifelong devotion to deep soul work and service. Over the past 8 years, she has immersed herself in practices such as breathwork, sound healing, energy work, and somatic exploration, all of which now form the foundation of her work.
Carmyn brings all of this into her offerings—not to fix, but to remind. To gently point others back to the heart of their own wisdom, their own rhythm, their own healing power. She offers tools, presence, and a safe, sacred space where your natural intelligence can awaken and expand.
Jeff Tessier
Jeff is a transformational guide, men's group facilitator, and co-founder of Reimagined Consciousness Collective. His journey of healing and awakening began after years of battling addiction, anxiety, and feeling disconnected from his true self. A fifth motorcycle accident became the catalyst that shifted everything—calling him to rebuild his life from the inside out. He began with the body, then moved into the mind and spirit, initiating a powerful path of self-inquiry and embodied transformation.
What followed was a deep curiosity about the nature of thought, consciousness, and the invisible forces that shape our reality. Jeff has since devoted himself to exploring the innate intelligence within all of us—the part that, when remembered, leads to wholeness, freedom, and a more vibrant way of living.
Today, Jeff’s greatest passion is helping others break free from the patterns and beliefs that keep them stuck. He holds space for men and women to reconnect with their authentic selves, awaken their natural well-being, and live with greater courage, clarity, and heart. His work is a living invitation to return home—to the peace, joy, and love that have always been within you.
