Alan Da Silva

As Co-Founder and CEO of Alegria Retreats, I am a purpose driven leader, dedicated to my mission to support people finding their way back home to themselfes. A strong curiousity about the fundamental questions of life has lead me on the path of psychedelics. In the last 9 years they have become a powerful ally in my personal evolution. They have helped me to heal trauma, reprogram negative patterns, deepen my spirituality and tap into my highest potential. I see our work as an act of service which I treat with integrity, humbleness and mindfulness while being aware of our big responsibility. I am dedicated to this work full-time and always researching and evolving with the times. Over the years I have deeply immersed myself in altered states of consciousness and studied a wide range of methods of „inner work“ like eastern spirituality, jungian psychology, hypnotherapy, neo-shamanism, NLP, parts work, meditation etc. I intuitively use these tools in combination with psilocybin to help you get to the root of your condition and activate your self healing mechanisms. Always taylored to your specific needs, preferences and pace. I consider myself a student of brazilian indigenous traditions that have teached me the importance of sound during a psychedelic journey. Playing music has become my main tool to support and deepen a profound experience. My clients say I have a grounding and reassuring presence which allows them to let go and surrender during a journey. I will give you the right impulses that allow you to get to the layers of the experience that create the most meaningful impact in your life. My biggest reward is seeing people open their hearts, reconnect with their power and feeling that sense of inner freedom and joy.

Nuria Salgado

Hello I'm Nuria, I'm a trauma-informed coach, somatic guide, mother, and co-founder of Alegria Retreats. Through my extensive work in trauma healing and inner child integration I have developed a deep understanding of how early experiences shape our subconscious patterns and how we can rewrite them to create lasting change. For over 8 years, I have supported more than 200 people, on deep journeys of healing with sacred plant medicine, weaving together ancestral wisdom and modern therapeutic tools. My own path—from a challenging childhood to touring the world as a dancer and immersing in practices like Yoga, TRE, and Breathwork—taught me how to transform pain into strength & purpose. I’m here to help you gently release emotional and physical blockages, reconnect with your truth, and access the healing power that already lives within you. Before, during, and after ceremony, I offer a steady, nurturing presence—meeting you with softness, intuition, and strength when it's needed most. My work is grounded in compassion and guided by the belief that you are capable of deep, lasting transformation—supported by the ancestral teachings I’ve received from indigenous communities in Mesoamerica and Brazil. Through working with many different individuals on a holistic level, I find it fascinating that if you are willing to change and face your truth, it is possible to create a completely new life that feels more aligned with your values and potential.

Dr. Sven Richter Medical Doctor & Therapist

Medical Doctor & Therapist - Alegria Screening About My Approach In my work with psychedelics, both in preparation and integration, I bring together many years of hands-on medical experience, the latest evidence-based research, and a deep respect for indigenous traditions as well as the wisdom of earlier generations of psychedelic therapists. My approach is grounded in the humanistic psychotherapeutic tradition, characterized by compassionate presence and respect for each person’s unique story and individuality. I understand how our earliest relationships shape the way we think, feel, and behave today, and how profoundly trauma can affect both body and mind. Yet even beyond trauma, we all carry many different, and sometimes conflicting, parts within ourselves. In my work, I welcome this inner multiplicity and support the process of discovering, understanding, and integrating all these aspects of the self. For me, growth is a collaborative journey toward self-compassion, deeper understanding, and healing. The path is rarely short or simple—but it is the only path worth walking. Sven

" Inner Freedom and peace is not a state to reach - but a daily choice to make." I am here to help you to make that choice as your personal psychedelic guide and your rock of safety. My mission is to free people from anything that hinders them to live a deeply fulfilling and gratifying life in harmony and bliss. This mission has led me on the path of psychedelic work and manifests in my approach to facilitating your Psilocybin Experience. With A strong and grounding presence my aim is to help you answer the most critical / crucial questions in life: • What is my Potential? • How Can I find my path? • WHO AM I? As a son of a Ghanian father and a German mother, I grew up with uncertainty about my own identity the question of - who am I? It has guided me to explore myself, Travel the world and seek deep self-discovery with plant medicine. On this path of self exploration I learned many skills and made many experiences, which I will offer to you with great respect as a tool box for your own journey. The way I work within groups is to serve anybody with love and respect to create A sense of safety. I bring my whole force to any ceremony and u will feel it in the form humour, high energy and a never ceasing smile on my face. You’ll feel my care and interest in your transformation before the ceremony where I support you with encoruragment and inspiration for new ways and decisions. After the experience I support you to bring your insights into tangible results and reach a lasting transformation during the integration process.

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.

Whether you intend to reprogram your mind or build a deeper connection to yourself:
This private retreat offers you everything you need to explore the transformative potential of psilocybin safely.

🌀 A lot of the session’s success depends on the mindset you bring to it. In our preparation calls, we’ll make sure you enter the experience with openness, readiness, and trust. 

🌿 The session takes place in a beautiful ceremonial setting that creates the perfect atmosphere for the medicine’s magic to unfold, allowing you to transition into a new chapter of your life.

💚 Wether you want to expand your consciousness or balance your mental health:
We are here to listen, hold space and create a life changing experience.

🙌🏽 Please contact us for a retreat experience taylored specifically to you. We can create a program with up to 5 days with 3 Psilocybin Sessions and different modalities depending on your personal needs and intention. The best is to connect on a zoom call and explore what you are looking for in your experience and then decide whats the best suitable journey for that.

🍄 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

📗 Integration:

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 2 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.

➡️ THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU IF:

- 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.
