In Her Element
Wisconsin Women’s Retreat
July 31st - August 2nd | Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin | In Her Element 3 Day Retreat
The Story Behind the Theme
In Her Element calls women together to ground in nature and begin to understand something they’ve always sensed was there. Beyond the physical world of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire lies a fifth element. This element serves as a means of communication, a reflector of resonance. This fifth element is Ether, or Aether.
Ether is the reflection of life force in all things, filling the invisible space between the physical.
Ether is the sacred void, spaciousness, and moving energy that exists as a living field all around and within us. This field is always present, holding all-knowing wisdom and the potent ability to charge us with energy. Ether acts as the bridge between our physical world and our consciousness, both individual and collective.
The feminine senses its subtlety, knowing it is there, while the mind wishes to grasp, see, and understand the concept. We’ll explore this duality during the retreat.
Our meditations during In Her Element Retreat will connect you to the field of Ether (or Akasha), allowing this profound connection to become a source of power and inspiration for the rest of your life.
What’s Included
HYFI Meditation + Frequency Healing
The HYFI meditations and frequency healing classes during the retreat are designed to help you connect with yourself on a deeper level — creating space for emotional release, clarity, inspiration, and real transformation. During this retreat we’ll gather as a group daily and you’ll be guided to slow down, reconnect to what matters, and meditate. Daniela’s inspirational talks activate a rise in your energy and help release stuck energy so that you return home feeling refreshed.
Holotropic Breathwork
During this retreat, we will practice a deep breathwork session on Saturday morning that will both challenge and empower you. Expect a motivational session that will wake up your soul’s connection to the universe and bring forth the warrior in you. (Eye mask recommended).
Sound Bath
Playing mystical instruments from 30 different cultures, Ace Champion arrives with grounded masculine energy to inspire us with a sound bath to relax and receive.
Yoga Class
Centering into movement and flow with an intentional yoga class on Sunday morning, this is your chance to feel your power. Daniela will collaborate with an instructor to guide a yoga flow that is in sync with the themes and journey of your retreat experience.
Camping + Meals
Camping on-site on healing land awakens something special within you — feeling the land and connecting with its energy — while fresh, intentional organic meals prepared by Chef Katelyn nourish your body and soul. Keep reading for more details.
Infinite Spirit Journal
Daniela has been inspired to design a special journal for this retreat that will take your experience beyond the weekend. Including prompts and inspiring insights, it serves as a paper space for your personal evolution.
REM Healing Circle (Add-On)
The only thing more powerful than a 1:1 session with Daniela is the REM Healing Circle. Using the momentum from the retreat, this energy healing circle offers the chance to fully let go of what you’ve been carrying and experience a deep connection to your journey.
Held Friday, 1PM - 3PM. Details below.

Meet Your Guide
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 relationships.
When she’s not hosting retreats, you can find Daniela journaling and meditating on her land, sharing wisdom inside HYVE, getting creative in the kitchen, and traveling the world for inspiration.

R - Rebirth
E - Expressive
M - Method
This intimate experience invites you to step into a transformative space, limited to an intimate group.
During the retreat, we create a vibrant vortex of healing energy, charged and amplified by the collective that has been building throughout the weekend. This powerful environment becomes a catalyst for personal rebirth, allowing each of us to shed the old and embrace the new aspect of ourselves that is ready to be revealed.
Daniela provides hands on frequency work and individualized clarity. This is done in a group to increase momentum as we shed the old, explore our consciousness, heal ourselves, and ignite the fire of creativity within.
Let's unleash our imaginations and sculpt a reality that resonates with our highest selves.
This circle is held at the beginning of the retreat to give you the most powerful weekend experience and time to integrate the healing you experience in REM Circle during the weekend.
REM Healing Circle
Rebirth | Expressive | Method
REM is considered one of the brain’s most neuroplastic states — meaning the brain becomes more capable of reorganizing emotional associations, integrating experiences, and reshaping neural patterns.
REM Healing Circle illuminates your emotional process and lets your new self emerge. A 2 hour group session brings intuition, personal connection and trauma clearing into one experience that will amplify your retreat experience. Daniela guides the group into a meditative state and then calls on each person for individual work while simultaneously working with the frequencies of the entire group and retreat energy.
People walk away feeling:
“I feel like something rewired.”
“The energy I couldn’t let go of is gone.”
“I see my life differently now.”
“A new version of me emerged.”
The best way to describe REM Circle:
brings you into an altered states of consciousness through meditation
creates environment for emotional release
provides long-lasting behavioral shifts
guided by Daniela for your embodied rewiring
deep internal imagery and symbolic processing
changes that continue unfolding months later
This personalized group session is similar to a waking REM-like state:
reduced attachment to external sensory input
increased interoception (inner awareness)
heightened emotional processing
enhanced memory reconsolidation
increased suggestibility/neuroplasticity
altered brainwave synchronization
REM Healing Circle works with individual and group energy to bring you into a
meditative REM-like state —
a deeply immersive altered state associated with emotional
processing, neuroplasticity, memory recall, that uses expanded self-awareness
and Daniela’s gifts to guide you to a higher version of yourself.
REM Sleep Science Facts
REM sleep stands for “Rapid Eye Movement” because the eyes move quickly beneath closed eyelids.
Most vivid dreaming happens during REM sleep.
The brain during REM can be almost as active as when awake.
REM sleep is strongly linked to emotional processing and memory integration.
During REM, the body enters temporary muscle paralysis (called REM atonia), likely to prevent acting out dreams.
REM sleep increases activity in emotional brain centers like the amygdala while reducing activity in logical filtering regions of the prefrontal cortex.
REM is associated with heightened theta brainwaves, which are linked to intuition, creativity, memory, and altered states.
Sleep researchers believe REM helps the brain integrate experiences into a coherent sense of self and reality.
REM sleep contributes to neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to reorganize and create new neural pathways.
Dreaming may help simulate future possibilities and emotional adaptation.
Just as REM sleep helps the brain integrate and reorganize life experiences during the night, REM Healing Circle creates a conscious space for emotional processing, nervous system recalibration, and personal transformation. This add-on experience gives you individual energy work in a powerful group setting. Super charge your retreat experience. You’ll also get paid admission to HYVE August ($195 value)

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.
