Alan Da Silva

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.

Nuria Salgado

🍀Hi, I am Nuria Salgado, a mother, trauma-informed care practitioner, artist & CO-Founder of Alegria Retreats, with over 8 years of experience in guiding people in the psychedelic realm, supporting over 200 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

Dr. Mona Irrmischer

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.

Sinja

Sinja's journey toward helping others began with a deep desire to make a meaningful impact. Realizing that the traditional school environment and teaching role weren’t her true path, she embarked on a transformative adventure traveling to various countries in search of herself and her true purpose. This journey led her to explore diverse cultures, complete her yoga teacher training, and earn her Reiki Level 1 certification. Through her work with psilocybin, Sinja effectively addressed her anxiety and brought greater harmony to her nervous system. The integration of microdosing further uplifted her outlook on life, nurtured self-love, and deepened her passion for holistic health and spirituality. These transformative experiences inspired her to empower women to heal themselves, embrace their power, and step into their purpose while also educating about the profound potential of microdosing. At Alegria Retreats, Sinja serves as a facilitator, guiding individuals through their personal processes. She also manages retreat logistics and handles much of the behind-the-scenes work to ensure a seamless retreat experience.

THE PROCESS

Preparation Phase:

- Psychedelic education and harm reduction
- Intention setting, mindfulness and journaling exercises
- Tools to navigate your journey effectively
- Diet recommendations for body cleansing

The Experience:

- A transformative psilocybin experience tailored to your needs
- Guidance & Support by a trauma informed facilitator
- Optional well being modalities like Breathwork & Bodywork

Integration:

- Reflecting your experience
- Filtering insights and key takeaways
- Exploring different integration methods
- Crafting a new routine / positive habit formation

Our holistic approach combines proven psychedelic therapy protocols established by clinical trials with the knowledge of Indigenous tribes and 9 years of personal experience.

Your facilitator is committed to guiding you through any challenging moments of your journey, creating a non-judgemental space of safety, trust & connection.

GOOD TO KNOW:

We usually work with high therapeutic dosages ranging from 25mg -70mg of psilocybin and offer two dosages during one session to gradually increase the effect .

Sound plays a big role on this journey, so we put a lot emphasis on curating the right songs & instruments to support, deepen and guide your process.

The biggest therapeutic benefits are mostly achieved with multiple sessions and multiple weeks of preparation and integration. A double session allows us to have up to 4 intakes which gradually increase the strenght of the experience over time and helps your system get used to it. It is much safer than trying to go into the deep end on the first intake.

- You want to reprogram your mind from old beliefs and rigid patterns  
- You are at a important crossroads in your life and seek clarity   
- You want to expand your consciousness & explore the nature of reality

An amazing and profound experience

I recently had the privilege of attending retreat that was nothing short of transformative. From the moment I booked, I felt incredibly supported by the organizers, who took care of every detail with such genuine care and thoughtfulness. The quality of the program was beyond my expectations, offering deep insights and experiences that truly resonated with me.

The facilitators were amazing—knowledgeable, yes, but also warm, approachable, and deeply invested in everyone's journey. They created a safe and welcoming space where I felt comfortable to open up and grow.

The property was absolutely beautiful, a serene oasis that provided the perfect backdrop for reflection and connection. Every moment there felt special and rejuvenating. I can't recommend this retreat enough; it was a soul-nourishing experience that I will carry with me always... Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am looking forward to coming back. ☀️

A loving healing family

I had the immense pleasure of being part of a retreat with Alegria; the vibe, love, openness, support and education I received were heartwarming. Everything was perfect from the booking process until it was time to leave (and I did not want to). Alan, Nuria, Sinja, Stan and other space holders guided and helped me every step of the day allowing me to express, heal and love in the way I wanted.

Haux Haux!

A truly healing and beautiful experience!

My partner and I recently attended a psilocybin retreat with Alan and Louise (aka Lou) through Alegria, and it was an incredibly transformative and beautiful experience for us both. Dealing with stress, anxiety, and past hardships had been a constant struggle, but this retreat provided us with the tools and support needed to begin healing on a deep, emotional level.

Both of us felt like our session was profoundly healing. Alan's expertise in psilocybin medicine was evident, and their presence made us both feel safe and supported the entire time. They were both amazing singers and Alan also played different instruments beautifully during the session. The experience was intense but incredibly liberating. Alan also provided gentle guidance, helping us navigate through challenging moments and offering insights that were both enlightening and empowering.

One of the standout aspects of Alegria was their emphasis on pre meetings, integration and aftercare. The retreat didn't just end when the session was over. We participated in discussions, and it helped us make sense of our experience and a better understanding of what went on. This ongoing support has been invaluable in maintaining the progress we made during the retreat.

Since returning home, we've noticed significant improvements in our mental and emotional well-being. We feel more connected to ourselves and each other, and we have developed healthier coping mechanisms for dealing with stress and anxiety. The time also helped us to better understand and resolve some of the issues stemming from our past, leading to a more harmonious and fulfilling relationship.

The was truly life-changing. The combination of a peaceful setting, compassionate guidance, and the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin created an environment where profound healing could occur. We are immensely grateful for this experience and would highly recommend Alan at (Alegria) to anyone seeking a holistic and effective approach to mental and emotional wellness.
