HYFI Frequency Work
heighten your frequency intuitively
What sets this retreat apart from other retreats and specifically plant medicine ceremonies, is the frequency work that holds a supportive and clear container for the ayahuasca journey.
HYFI Frequency held by Daniela creates a level of clarity and centeredness that will help you in the time leading up to the ceremony and retreat. During the ceremony, Daniela will be there holding the frequency field at the highest level, facilitating clearing work when necessary, providing nurturing support, and be a resource for translation from Spanish to English and beyond. She’ll be a guide and support to you during ceremony.
During the retreat we will gather daily for reflection, HYFI Meditation, and to deepen the experience mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
Plant Medicine Ceremony
The Plant Medicine Ceremony will be held on Wednesday of our retreat. Our ceremony begins around 8PM and goes through the night until sunrise. Experienced Colombian shamans will join us that night with music, sacred plant guidance and care to foster in the visions and release that the consciousness of the plant of Ayahuasca brings you. The following day will be one of rest, recovery, and peaceful integration.
Daily Meditation + Support
This will be an intimate retreat. Throughout our time together Daniela will be available at specific times to support the process of your journey, before and after ceremony. To prepare for this retreat, a group call will be held November 29th and a follow-up call with time for Q&A and HYFI Infusion for the group will be held on January 5th.
During the retreat we will gather daily for reflection, meditation and to deepen the experience mentally, emotionally and physically.
Holotropic Breathwork
During our retreat we’ll experience consciousness-altering breathwork classes paired with meditation to bring the body into a state of ease and work with any emotions that are present. An array of breathwork techniques and breath-conscious classes will be given during retreat as a peaceful way to give you the chance to work with your frequency.
Daily Yoga Class
Hosted by the resident instructor at Mountains of Hope, daily morning yoga classes are there to support your flow. These classes are optional and yoga mats and props are provided by the retreat center.
Organic, Farm to Table Meals
Mountains of Hope has a private organic farm that is grown on regenerative volcanic soil. Each day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner a menu will be provided and you get to choose whatever you’d like. The food here is very fresh, colorful, healthy and made with intention. Carnivore and vegan/vegetarian options, gluten free. Includes a daily fresh green juice, and dinner includes desserts all made with the healthiest ingredients possible. Simply amazing.
Use of BioHacking + Daily Sauna/ColdPlunge
Mountains of Hope offers a menu of top of the line bio-hacking machines for your use. Bio Charger, PEMF, Shiftwave Chair, Red Light Therapy, Finnish Sauna, Steam room, Saltwater Pool, Jacuzzi and Cold Plunge. The use of these tools will regenerate your physical body and provide deep relaxation and support detox during our time. Our schedule for this retreat will be spacious, meaning we will have a lot of open time to take advantage of these amazing tools! Additional services (massage, hyperbaric chamber, and so much more) are also available for an additional cost.
Personal Reading from Shaman Rigo
Rigo is a Colombian Shaman who has studied the Mayan traditional way of reading the path that has been created for you the moment you were born. During retreat you’ll have a private reading with him that will dive deeper into your energy and purpose. This is in addition to the ceremony.
Surprise Excursion Day
The ceremony and daily gathering circles will be our main focus during the retreat and we’ll be taking time to rest, but, one intentional day of our retreat we’ll take an offsite excursion somewhere special. This could be a hike, a visit to a local town or attraction. More details coming.
Private Airport Transfer
You’ll be picked up from the airport on Sunday, 12/6 and brought directly to Mountains of Hope. Your ride to the airport on Saturday 12/12 is also included. Driver service is for to and from the airport only.
Is the Ayahuasca Ceremony Required?
In short, no. If you want to come on the retreat and don’t wish to be a part of the plant medicine journey, you’ll receive a 1-hour private hands-on session on Day 2 of the retreat. This will serve as a pivotal session, intended to connect you to Your Camino. To organize this, please let us know ahead of time.
The retreat without the plant medicine becomes a vast experience of spacious time to reflect, care for yourself, observe the grounds, and give yourself the nourishment and rest to integrate the session.
If for any reason you do not want to do the ceremony at the last minute, you are free to change your mind at any point. Please rest assured that you’ll go for what feels aligned, for you.
— You feel that the next chapter of your spiritual journey is ready to be unlocked

After surviving cancer at 29, Daniela devoted her life to helping people reconnect to themselves, their spirit, and what truly matters. Inspiring Connection. Her work is rooted in the belief that even during life’s hardest seasons, connection, joy, and transformation are still possible.
Through her signature HYFI Meditation experiences, breathwork fusion, retreats, and community gatherings, she has guided hundreds of people toward feeling more connected, inspired, emotionally clear, confident, and alive. Because of her life experiences, and thousands of hours in meditation, she brings an inspiring warrior energy that allows you to tap into your own power.
Her approach blends meditation, energy work, expressive creativity, and human connection in a way that feels grounding, approachable, and real.
People return to her retreats again and again not just for the adventurous experience, but for the feeling of belonging, connection, and transformation they find within themselves.
Daniela catalyzes change in individuals, activating trust in themselves that leads to greater alive-ness. Her clients have gone on to start businesses, podcast, leave toxic relationships, quit smoking, purchase homes, break out of sexual dysfunction, set boundaries in difficult family dynamics, return to the world after periods of isolation, and start new healthy relationships.
When she’s not hosting retreats, you can find Daniela hosting in-person events to build community, practicing meditation and pilates, sharing wisdom inside HYVE, recording meditations, getting creative in the kitchen, and journaling for inspiration.
She currently splits her time between Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and Del Mar, California.
This is a retreat of reconnection and spaciousness. Created intentionally. During the retreat you’ll define more of what it means to be on your own Camino. Your path of spirit. No rush, just seeing how the days present themselves with moments to heal and receive.
Each day will be a balance of rest and guidance to heighten your frequency. HYFI Retreats infuse your life with energy, clarity and a sense of alignment that lasts even after the retreat has ended. Community bonds and connection are a part of the heart. Please note that the itinerary is subject to change and upgrade.

Increasing curiosity in the HYFI Community about plant medicine has been growing over the past year. Certain people who have been doing frequency work are called and wanting an experience that gets the benefits of the old shamanic ways using plant medicine, yet has the capacity to be held in a higher frequency system.
HYFI being a new system of energy is free of traditional rulesets; making the pairing of the plant ceremony and frequency work that will be facilitated during the ceremony a perfect match.
The dates in December are intentional. As pioneers for spirit, we break tradition creating new ways of celebrating the spirit of the season, while still benefiting from the magic of receiving. Using what benefits us from traditional ways and creating a new way of defining energy and magic into life.
In-depth information provided to ease your mind.
The best way to describe a plant medicine ceremony:
An active ayahuasca trip typically lasts between 4 to 6 hours, though the entire experience can range from 2 to 8 hours depending on the dose and your body chemistry. Daniela’s guidance will help you approach your ceremonial experience with a sense of calm, neutrality, and non-attachment to the outcome.
Whatever happens for you is exactly what’s meant for you.
A few things to note:
An orientation call will be held on November 29th to answer any questions
You may experience increased interoception (inner awareness) and visuals
Heightened emotional processing
Enhanced emotions, fear, anxiety and processing during ceremony
Altered state of consciousness during retreat and after
Purging state; vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea are common
HYFI Circle and Meditation during retreat will help clear expectations around the ceremony and support your personal journey
Increased sense of clarity. Sometimes, like in Daniela’s case, the trip is solely physical and no psychedelic visuals come.
Release expectations and see what Mama Aya has to show you.
DMT is the primary psychedelic compound in ayahuasca.
Neuroimaging research has found changes in brain activity and connectivity following ayahuasca and DMT exposure.
These changes involve networks associated with self-processing, perception, and cognition.
Because it contains DMT and MAO-inhibiting compounds, it can interact with certain medications and may be inappropriate for people with some psychiatric or cardiovascular conditions.
Traditionally, ayahuasca is made from Banisteriopsis caapi, a vine containing β-carboline compounds, combined with a plant containing DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine).
Early clinical research has found promising effects on measures of depression, including treatment-resistant depression.
Brain-imaging studies have found changes in neural activity and connectivity during or after psychedelic experiences.
Psychedelic research consistently shows that the person's mindset, expectations, environment, preparation, and support can influence the experience.

It already feels like we’ve been on a journey, learning about all the features of this retreat. Knowing that the medicine is calling is between you, your heart and your intuition.
If you feel called, but your mind’s getting in the way, ask yourself the following questions:
Am I questioning whether this is the right time for me because of logistical reasons (financial, planning, time management)?
Have I always wanted to do something like this?
What fears do I have?
What potential is stirring in me?
Where in my body, heart, aura do I feel the call?
-
The uncertainty of a trip can create jitters in the body. This is a visceral response of nervous energy in the body. This is your body’s detox process prior to the retreat.
The healing process begins the moment you book the retreat.
The mind, spirit, and body are all connected and timeless.
Leading up to the retreat you may feel waves of anxiety, this is your spirit and body preparing you for what’s to come on the retreat. Releasing fear. Let it pass. If you’re called, you’ll know if you’re meant to be a part of this.
If you come and decide at any point to opt out of the ceremony, that’s 100% okay and you’ll still benefit from the retreat journey. It’s all a part of your camino.
-
If you’re hesitant in decisions in your life, often anxious/afraid, or feel insecure in yourself and are hoping for a quick fix that will make you feel complete I do not recommend this retreat for you.
Anyone with a history of schizophrenia is advised to skip the plant medicine ceremony. You can still enjoy the retreat and finding your own camino with a powerful private hands on 60 minute HYFI Session in place of the ayahuasca. Reach out to info@myinfinitespirit.com to let us know.
Plant medicine can be beneficial for adults who have taken ownership for their place in life, can be personally responsible for their decisions, and ask for help when needed.
-
Everyone has a history of experiences and medical ups and downs.
But there comes a point in life when we’re called to trust ourselves in the present. If you feel you’ve crawled out of hard times and know yourself and your story, this could be a good time to move forward in self trust.
You know yourself best. Please note Daniela is not a doctor and if it’s recommended that you consult a trusted healthcare professional prior to the retreat.
