About this Retreat
Alan Da Silva (36)
My psychedelic journey started 9 years ago with my first psilocybin session.
It has lead me on a journey of personal growth in which I overcame my depression, healed my childhood trauma and conquered addictions. Fueled by my personal transformation I founded Alegria Retreats together with Nuria to support people on their psychedelic journeys.
I travelled to Brazil to learn from indigenous tribes ( Huni Kuin) about their ancestral knowledge of working with plant medicines and integrate these methods & healing chants with the therapeutic applications of the western world.
Certified Hypnotherapist, certified reiki practitioner and I am currently completing the Trauma Informed Care (TIC) certification. Im a meditation practitioner since 9 years and I have been studying somatic movement since 20 years.
I have accompanied and coached high performance athletes, entrepreneurs and people from all walks of life on their journey to healing and self-actualisation.
Alegria Retreats bridges ancient wisdom with the modern zeitgeist to create an unique safe space in which people can feel safe, held, and seen.
We believe that everyone carries the answers within and that the healing of each individual human being contributes to the healing of the world.
🍀Hi, I am Nuria Salgado, a mother, artist, trauma-informed care practitioner, Co-founder of Alegria Retreats, and professional dancer with over 7 years of experience in the psychedelic realm, guiding over 100 people through their experiences.
I knew very early that I won't walk the conventional path of sitting in an office, working for someone else. My intuition was strong so I traveled through the world early, lived my dreams as an artist in New York City and studied with indigenous tribes in Brazil.
My work is rooted in healing trauma, somatic practices, and enhancing well-being through movement, breathwork, and inner child work. I combine indigenous plant medicine wisdom, that I gained primarily through the connection to Brazilian tribes, with scientific western approaches to create holistic, tailored healing experiences.
My journey with psilocybin began 7 years ago where I started guiding psilocybin journey in Europe. Since then I am studying these amazing medicines and cultures to carry it with honor and safety into the modern world.
Personal experiences with plant medicine have allowed me to release & understand deep physical and emotional trauma, fostering alignment with my values, a connection to a higher purpose, and more inner trust. I am highly passionate about helping others uncover their inner healer, get in touch with these intelligent plants and overcome psychological blockages, often rooted in childhood.
My mission is to culktivate & share love, facilitating healing through ceremonial practices, community, and the wisdom of plant allies.
I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your transformative journey.
Warm regards,
Nuria Salgado
My background is in (neuro)psychology and I studied the effects of meditation on the brain as part of my PhD at the Vrije University of Amsterdam. To this day, I conduct scientific studies on meditation, breathwork, and psychedelics.
Personally, I've been deeply immersed in traditional meditation and healing traditions, as well as modern integrative body-centered psychotherapy and psychedelics. I am working as a freelance psychologist and process facilitator (with and without psychedelics).
As an empath I have walked many paths myself.
I love to be present and hold space to allow real transformation and honest change. At Alegria Retreats I am responsible for the psychological screening process, being a facilitator at the ceremonies and supporting our participants in their integration process after their psychedelic experience.

Since ever then she is dedicated to share the medicine of the voice where ever she goes, to open circles for singing and voice expression and liberation, to accompany ceremonys and retreats and she loves to invite everyone to freely improvise with sound and music and jam together in a circle.
Of service with a humble open heart, her lovely voice, musical instruments and sounds are accompanying and carrying our participants through their healing journey in some of our retreats. Her music and ceremony leading is partly inspired by the tradition of the Moondance, that she has been following since 6 Years.
Her first plant medicine experiences she has already received in an early period of her life, starting from 16. As she has been always an adventurer and seeker for the deeper truth of life.
For her, the plant medicine is very sacred and only used in ceremonial setting. "It's helping me to remember and connecting me with my ancient roots and feeling oneness with divinity. It is heart opening, cleansing and often feels like beeing reborn into this world. It has brought me very much closer to nature, myself and the collective-
