What’s included
Powerful Frequency Work
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.
During retreat we will gather daily for reflection, HYFI Meditation, and to deepen the experience mentally, emotionally 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 the 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 a intimate retreat. Throughout the six days 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 retreat we will gather daily for reflection, meditation and to deepen the experience mentally, emotionally and physically.

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.

The Big Question: Is the Ayahuasca Ceremony Required?

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.

Meet Daniela
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 disfunction, 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.

What is Ayahuasca?
Why now?
The dates in December are intentional.
This season is all about gathering with family. This is a gathering of soul family, spirit friends coming together to truly celebrate the magic of the season.
Christmas season is a time of giving, receiving and celebration.
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.
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.
Ayahuasca Scientific Facts
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.

Daniela is an artist by nature and it overflows into every facet of the retreat. I experienced so much joy, laughter, and connection at this retreat and always felt so taken care of. This experience will live in my heart forever, and continues to offer me expansion as my journey unfolds.

Sleeping under the stars was amazing! I would not have been able to do this a few months ago. This is a reflection of the spiritual work and progress I've been able to accomplish with Daniela. Overcoming massive insecurity, anxiety, and low self esteem. In this last retreat especially I noticed an inner strength I've not experienced before. Daniela has the ability to create a very safe, neutral, and expansive space where I can come into a much more grounded and greater version of myself. And I can say that with full conviction after the retreat because I can feel the heaviness in my body as I return to my everyday world adjusting from the expansive nature of where I've been hanging out this weekend. I am looking forward to being able to find my way back to the expansive feeling as my integration continues from this retreat.

This latest retreat experience was curated by magnetic genius and will never be recreated. My favorite part was physically getting into each waterfall and the different accomplishments I felt personally in overcoming discomfort and embracing invigoration. Daniela’s bright eyes and warm smile, matched with a little sizzle and spunk make any experience comfortable, exciting and rewarding. If for any reason there is something you are feeling less than great about, she is there to help you hands on, with a solution.

The Cosmic Alignment Retreat in Mt. Shasta was an incredible experience that left a profound impact on me. I felt surrounded by warmth, authenticity, and a deep sense of community among everyone present. Eating nourishing, delicious meals and going on adventures in Nature brought a deeper connection to my body and spirit. I felt more present and alive. As the host, Daniela, you exuded warmth, wisdom, and authenticity, creating a safe and nurturing space for everyone to open up and connect with themselves and each other. Your guidance and presence made the retreat feel truly special and transformative.

The Creative Awakening retreat in Sedona was a pure magical experience. The energy of the place alone felt magical and inspiring. Daniela and Tim went above and beyond with the guided meditations, hikes and other activities that were planned. It was a perfect place for us to connect with each other and the land. I also really appreciated the fresh food, I never went hungry, the chef was amazing. My mind, body and soul were nourished the whole week. Overall, it was a transformative and beautiful experience joined with other like-minded folk:)

These retreats have changed my life. Earlier this year was my very first time doing frequency work and it was magical. Things started out with just a slight shift but the longer I do it, I feel the shift getting stronger and stronger. I have become committed to working with my higher frequencies and achieving the best version of myself. Plus, the community and friendships I have made at these retreats are truly beautiful.

I wanted to grow spiritually. It was an uplifting and life-changing experience, the best choice I could have made! I made some great connections with people who are interested in growing spirituality, found some clarity I was searching for, released built-up emotions, and so much more. The overall experience is life-changing especially if you are struggling with sadness, depression, heartbreak, or you just want to feel joy and peace.

This retreat was an invaluable investment in myself, my peace, my energy, and my mind. I felt deeply moved and shifted by the work that we did, but I also enjoyed so much lightness, laughter, and incredible food! During the retreat, I found myself able to quiet my normal anxious thoughts, and just enjoy each present moment. I felt free to move my body and dance and stretch without thinking about how it looked. I am often shy with new people, and while I felt quiet at times, I never felt on the "outside," and rarely felt the need to retreat to solitude. I felt at peace and connected to everyone else.
