I have taken Usui Reiki Levels 1 & 2 with Dale and Jeanne and following that retreat in 2019 I went on to receive certification in The Emotion Code with Dr Bradley Nelson, founder of this modality then received certification in The Body Code.  Dr. Nelson has now added The Belief Code and I am excited to take the training to include in my repertoire of healing techniques.

I am pleased to share these methods with you during the retreat!  First, you will learn how to tap into the subconscious mind to answer questions about your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This is called “muscle testing”.  It’s a noninvasive method designed to determine the potential underlying causes of ailments and discomfort — everything from nutritional needs to trapped emotions.  This will prepare you to learn the Emotion Code! You will receive instructions and materials to guide you through the process of releasing trapped emotions that cause physical and emotional pain. You will learn how to identify and remove emotional baggage, leading to greater health, wealth and happiness! This is an actual hands-on experience that you will learn and take home to further explore and release your trapped emotions.

I was so impressed by my experience with the Emotion Code that I went on to receive certification with The Body Code.  Whereas the Emotion Code works on emotional blockages, The Body Code™ is a patented, revolutionary energy balancing system, intended to help uncover root causes of discomfort, sickness, and suffering in body and spirit.  The Body Code System App is a handy tool used to easily identify then release underlying energetic imbalances.  As you use The Body Code, you may clear emotional baggage to feel happier and more at peace than ever before.  Building on the foundational concepts taught in the Emotion Code® and the Body Code™, Dr. Bradley Nelson has created the Belief Code® which takes energy healing even further by removing negative belief systems in the subconscious mind! I am a firm believer in life-long learning so look forward to learning and adding the Belief Code to my healing repertoire!  

After many years now of learning and sharing these energy healing modalities, I am still amazed and even surprised by how powerful energy healing truly is!  I have witnessed how it has worked in my own life and the lives of many others.  These retreats provide the perfect space for sharing what I have learned with others and watching their lives transform as mine did at that first retreat I attended so many years ago!  

If you felt drawn to this website about the Transformational Retreats in Cypress Hills, SK and read my bio, then your soul is likely calling you to attend!  Trust your instincts/intuition – I am thankful that I did! When I attended my first retreat, I didn’t have a clue what to expect, I only knew one other person other than Dale & Jeanne.  I just knew I had to be there.  It was one of the best gifts I have ever given myself.  Just work on staying open to the experience and trust that it will be an experience you will never forget!

My name is Jamie Hammel. I was born and raised in Medicine Hat, AB.  My journey began amidst the vibrant backdrop of the 1960s and 70s, a time of peace and love, yet it was also marked by inner turmoil and a sense of being different from others.

Despite the outward harmony of the era, I often felt isolated, grappling with an unexplainable knowing and a vivid imagination that set me apart from others. Music became my refuge, expressing the depths of my emotions through songwriting and guitar melodies.

High school brought a pivotal moment of realization, as I confronted a hurtful friend and discovered an unexpected power within, a strength that commanded respect and dispelled fear.

Life unfolded, and I found love, yet the path was not without its challenges. Through the trials of marriage and the demands of parenthood, I lost touch with my true self, and with the weight of it all, led to a breaking point and a journey to the mental health ward.

In that dark space, a glimmer of hope emerged in the form of Jeanne and Dale Hoag; guiding lights who introduced me to the transformative practices of HeartMath, the Emotion Code, and Reiki. Through their teachings, I learned to embrace my intuitive and empathic gifts, finding healing and purpose in helping others.

With newfound confidence, I embarked on a path of learning and growth; becoming a Reiki Master and expanding my skills to include hypnotherapy and past life regression. Each new modality deepened my connection to healing and opened doors to new levels of awareness and understanding.

Now, my practice, “Reiki Radiance Energy Empowerment,” stands as a beacon of light, offering healing and guidance to those seeking solace and transformation. With each session, I tap into my intuitive wisdom, infused with Reiki energy and guided by divine insight, to facilitate profound healing and release.

I continue to evolve on my journey, eagerly embracing new modalities like the Spinal Flow Technique, eager to explore new avenues of healing and growth. And so, my story unfolds, a testament to the power of transformation and the boundless potential within each of us to heal, grow, and shine.

You come directly to the Community Hall located beside the tourism building and down the street from the swimming pool (directions are provided in the email sent out prior to the retreat).

After you register at the Community Hall, you will go to the registration desk in the main building at The Resort at Cypress Hills. They will have your name on their list of guests along with your cabin partner. You will receive your key card for your cabin and directions on how to get there. If you have any problems, contact the resort office.

This will be our 11th retreat and we have never had a complaint from any of our participants regarding a poor match! We pride ourselves in using our intuitive abilities to create the best match possible – in fact, many lasting friendships have been created during our retreats.

Each cabin has a living/dining/kitchen area with a regular sized refrigerator, stove and microwave, dishes, utensils, pots, pans, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, dish cloths and towels. If you like to have a morning coffee or tea, you must bring your own (along with cream and sugar) or if you need an evening snack please bring your own as food items are not included. The bathroom has a bathtub with shower, towels and facecloths, sample bottles of shampoo, body wash and lotion. Please bring your own hair dryer. The two bedrooms are furnished with queen beds, a dresser, nightstand, alarm clock and clothes rack.

The cost of the retreat is based on shared accommodation in a two-bedroom cabin or townhouse. For an additional cost you can request a room in the resort. These are typical hotel rooms with queen or king beds. Be sure to choose your desired accomodation preference in the registration process.

Yes, as long as you keep to the retreat schedule. However, please keep in mind the retreat experience goes beyond the schedule for the day. Remember, you are gifting yourself this time for YOU. Often when we return after a day of transformative experiences, we need time to relax and process. If you are returning to family obligations, you may not have this opportunity and therefore will not achieve the benefits you seek. If you choose not to stay at The Resort, we are happy to refund you the base cost of a two night stay in a two-bedroom cabin.

Yes! What better way to process the weekend experience than an extra day surrounded by nature or enjoy an extra day to prepare for the retreat! These arrangements must be made by you by contacting The Resort in Cypress Hills to book the extra night(s).

Detailed directions will be emailed to you one week prior to the retreat date. The most important thing to remember is that the retreat is held at the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park on the Saskatchewan side of the Cypress Hills (if you are using Google Maps make sure you use this address). The Cypress Hills borders Alberta (in the southeast corner) and Saskatchewan (in the southwest corner) so please make sure you come to the Saskatchewan side, not the Alberta side!

Yes! A non-refundable deposit is required for all registrations to reserve your spot. We offer a five-payment plan option. Your non-refundable deposit is your first payment with a payment required to bring your balance to zero one month prior to the retreat date. When you complete the registration process you will be given the option of the five-payment plan.

This is an all-inclusive retreat meaning meals and accommodations are confirmed in advance with a list of those attending therefore we cannot offer refunds. That said, we understand that life happens and in severe, extenuating circumstances where you cannot attend, we will do our best to help you find someone to fill your spot. Please see our cancellation policy.

A $333.00 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration which is applied to your total payment.  Any cancellation made between the time of registration and September 17, 2024 will result in a loss of 50% of the retreat price (early-bird and regular cost). Installments paid (minus the $333 non-refundable deposit) are 50% refundable until September 17, 2024.

If, for any reason, you need to cancel after September 17, 2024, there is no refund however, if a written request is submitted within 14 days of the retreat date (September 12, 2024) we are happy to reschedule your retreat experience (within 2 years of the retreat date) applying the amount paid (less the $333 non-refundable deposit) to the cost of the chosen retreat date (retreat cost subject to change).

We also do not provide refunds or credits for failure to complete the retreat, or for arriving late or leaving early.

We reserve the right to cancel retreats with inadequate participant interest, in which case all money paid to Divine Guidance Empowering You, including your deposit, will be refunded in full. Notification of cancellation for this reason will occur at least 2 weeks prior to retreat start date. Divine Guidance Empowering You or The Energy Medicine Clinic cannot be held responsible for any personal expenses, such as transportation costs, due to retreat cancellations.
