About this Retreat
Leyla's clinical background began over 20 years ago in detention centers, homeless shelters, and forensic systems outside of Baltimore. Since then, I have built a successful private practice and developed a specialty in neurofeedback and energy-based technologies in Wyoming and Oregon. In the past decade, I have focused on psychedelic therapies and wellness retreats that are all geared towards supporting the collective awakening.
As a consciousness-based therapist, she holds a post-graduate certificate in psychedelic-assisted therapy from Naropa University. She continued to expand her training and experience working with psychedelic medicines such as psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, ayahuasca, and 5-MeO-DMT and intends to educate, create safe psychedelic experiences, and maximize the healing potential of these experiences for curious explorers.

Certified Crystal Healing Guide
Shyla is a compassionate guide and rising presence in the world of entheogenic medicine. Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, she cultivated her artistic roots by attending a performing arts magnet high school, where she studied dance and choreography. By the age of 17, she was teaching at her local dance studio and coaching a competition team, demonstrating her innate ability to inspire and lead.
Her transformative journey began in 2017 when she turned to plant medicine to overcome a profound struggle with addiction to street drugs and pharmaceuticals. Through sacred medicines, Shyla found the tools she needed to achieve sobriety and reframe her life.
The challenges she overcame during this period sparked her passion for psychedelics. Following life-changing encounters with LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, and ketamine, she was introduced to 5-MeO-DMT (Bufo). Her first experience with the toad medicine profoundly shifted her life, aligning her with her authentic self and bringing her deep joy, peace, and fulfillment—including the realization of her dream of becoming a mother.
Shyla is devoted to inspiring others to uncover the healer within themselves, particularly those navigating addiction, trauma, depression, or co-dependency. She believes in the fundamental right to explore consciousness as a pathway to healing and personal growth. These beliefs led her to pursue herself further as she worked hard to achieve her Bufo Facilitator Certification through The Temple of Eden, Somatic Psychedelic Facilitator Certification from The Embody Lab, and her 5-Meo-DMT integration Specialist Certification under Dr. Martin Ball PHD.
In 2024, Shyla founded Dragonfly Temple to provide a sanctuary for individuals seeking transformation through Bufo ceremonies. Shyla is a skilled practitioner who offers a safe and nurturing container for exploration and healing, conducting each ceremony with compassion, respect, and integrity.
In addition to her facilitation work, Shyla brings her passion for wellness into the kitchen. She offers nourishing, plant-based catering for ceremonies and other healing spaces. Her menus, designed with care and attention to allergies and sensitivities, feature fresh, organic options that support physical and spiritual transformation.
