Root to Rise: The Yinsa Retreat Leader Training

How to Lead Transformational Experiences for Your Community.

Join the Waitlist

For the past five years, I’ve led sold-out retreats around the world—from sacred lands in Dominican Republic to luxury havens in Tuscany. Behind the scenes, my team and I have invested tens of thousands of dollars into marketing, team training, and retreat coordination. We've run experiences priced from $1,200 to $7,000 per guest—and we’ve done it without burning out, losing money, or compromising the magic.

Before retreats, I planned weddings and parties, created international travel experiences for teens and adults, and wrote curriculum for over 2 decades—for diverse populations in every age group. This unique blend of experiences led me to develop a copyrighted retreat curriculum that’s been studied, saved, and yes—copied—but never successfully duplicated.  This is NOT an AI generated course, this is my life's work - you'll know that as soon as you step inside the digital portal.

Why?
Because the Yinsa experience isn’t just about logistics and "selling out".
It’s about intention, alignment, and leadership that comes from deep within.

And now, for the first time, I’m teaching not just what we do… 

but how—and most importantly, why we do it.

This is not your average retreat training.

Holding space for 10–20 people, 24/7, across borders and cultures, requires more than an Instagrammable itinerary.

It takes real leadership...
Clear systems...
Energetic clarity...
...and a deep understanding of your purpose.
Are you ready for that?

This course is for you if you’re a:

  • Corporate facilitator
  • Educator or school leader
  • Therapist or wellness practitioner
  • Coach, healer, or creative
  • Anyone ready to guide diverse, transformational group experiences—without losing themselves in the process.

In a very short period of time, I can say Daniele and the LiveYinsa Collective have changed my life for the better. All of the activities, workshops, check-ins, books, etc. are meaningful and purposeful. Since joining I have started meaningful practices that align me and help me look deeper within such as morning pages, breathwork, yoga, and expanding the vision for my life. Her work has a generational impact as I share what I've learned with my daughter, who benefits from a healed mother. As a woman coming home to myself this Collective space has been a space where I am healing, growing, and getting in touch with my feminine power.

I met Daniele at YTTP in the summer of 2019 and she’s been part of my life ever since. Soon after receiving my 200 hundred hours of yoga certification, I began a wondrous road of learning with Daniele, which we still are walking together. Daniele’s hallmark as a teacher is she’s a perpetual learner. Starting with workshops around spirit guides, Yin yoga 50-hour training, the yoga collective Yinsa, and Heal course. The most life-changing has been the Yinsa Collective, as it’s a place where like-minded folks gather to grow, cheer each other on, become inspired, and inspire. Ultimately, it’s a reflection of the participants, what we are born knowing, but we forget. We are the hope, we are the miracle we are conditioned to look for outside of ourselves. Daniele never lets me forget this!

Daniele was one of the first practitioners that helped me begin my healing journey. She was one of my yoga instructors for a 200 hr yoga certification program. It was the first place I learned about self-love, the heart-body-mind connection, the Chakras, and the powerful experience of meditation.  After completing that program, she was a person I knew I wanted to continue my healing journey with. I've since participated in workshops on healing through the Chakras (HEAL), Ayurveda, and Yin Yoga (one of my favorites), along with countless journal prompts for deeper self-reflection. Daniele has been essential to my journey toward healing, and self-love. My growth is truly a reflection of the knowledge, authenticity, and support that she offers.

Each time I work with Daniele or take part in the collective, I leave feeling more in tune with myself and supported to do the work that is self-awareness, learning/unlearning, and healing. I started working with Daniele through monthly workshops that were focused on the chakras, and each and every workshop was an astounding amount of information as well as care for my well-being, but also my healing journey.

Daniele + the LiveYinsa Collective make you feel safe to partake in your own healing, and I'm forever grateful for meeting her and other incredible souls in the community. Daniele's experience as a teacher + educator as well as a student comes through in every single offering she makes!

There’s so much tangible healing, awareness, and change I’ve experienced since working with you…No amount of currency could ever repay what working with you has ignited in me, I believe the only way I can repay you for that is to truly love and hold myself authentically while sharing my magic unapologetically.  Thank you for teaching me tools that I will carry and use for as long as I’m here.

"Before I started working with Daniele I felt lost and without a sense of purpose or direction. This human fairy was able to give me the tools I needed, and during a pandemic, to better understand my patterns, decision-making and the ability I possess to manifest the life I want. Whether in my person or professional life, I have never been more at peace or better able to create my own happiness."
