About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Do you want to increase your creative energy to materialise your dreams and projects?
Do you want to improve your relationship with yourself?
Do you want to heal lifelong trauma?
Do you want to overcome addiction?
Have you been suffering from life-long depression?

Join our Psychedelic Retreat Weekend for a transformative and secure psychedelic experience. Immerse yourself in two powerful ceremonies, where you will be held in a safe space with live music, allowing for deep introspection. The first ceremony provides an opportunity for profound inner exploration, while the second offers a group synergy as you venture into the mountains.

Our retreat incorporates the healing powers of Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybin) and San Pedro (mescaline), with dosages tailored to your specific needs and discussed in advance. We understand that each participant is unique, so we provide the necessary tools for you to connect with your inner healer, realign with your true self, and synchronize with the rhythms of nature.

At the Mezquita, we prioritize personalized care and keep our groups small to ensure a meaningful experience. Take a moment to explore the excellent reviews from our past participants and hear their perspectives.

During the retreat, you'll have the opportunity to have a private session with our experienced facilitators to discuss any specific topics or intentions you wish to explore. Our main facilitator boasts over 30 years of experience with psychedelics and 10 years of guiding others.

Our approach combines elements from the John Hopkins/Imperial College methodology, where participants wear an eye mask and listen to music, with our own ceremonial setting. We enhance the experience with live music, carefully curated for each moment, rather than a set playlist.

Dosage is personalized based on factors such as body weight, previous experience, and health. For therapeutic experiences, we prioritize finding the right balance, while those seeking a more mystical journey can explore higher dosages. We prioritize safety and ensure that our participants and therapists are always in a secure environment.

We use Psilocybin cubensis mushrooms, not truffles. These mushrooms are more powerful than truffles , they contain a much higher concentration of psilocybin.

Join us for an unforgettable weekend of self-discovery and healing. Space is limited, so secure your spot today.

Recommendations for antidepressant medication:
Any type of antidepressant or pharmaceutical medicine for pain, anxiety, or any other mental health problem are best to be avoided.
If you are taking SSRI (except fluoxetine), SPARI, SNRI, TCA or MAOI medication for depression this can considerably lessen the effects of the psychedelic experience. Depending on how long you have been taking these types of medicines you may need at least 21 days to detox from them for long term use, and a very minimum of 15 days for shorter term use. If you are taking fluoxetine (Prozac) you may need to taper and discontinue the consumption at least 6 weeks prior to the psychedelic experience.
In our experience attendees that have not rested from this medication can have less noticeable effects of psychedelics. Please consult with your doctor if you need to stop taking prescribed medication. We always encourage you to listen to your doctor or your mental health advisor, and ask for their best advice on how to taper down antidepressant medication. If you are taking any other kind of psychiatric medication, please consult your doctor beforehand.
Please, keep in mind that unfortunately, for safety reasons we cannot welcome you to the retreat if:
1) You have been diagnosed with an emotionally unstable (borderline) personality disorder.
2) You have an immediate personal or family history of psychosis (drug-induced psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolarity), and/or are taking antipsychotic medication.

For this reason we have a screening questionnaire and interview to get to know your motives, experience and most importantly your current state of mental and physical health.

Intoxicants and stimulants should be avoided, or at least significantly reduced. This includes: alcohol, drugs, stimulants...

Other recommendations
Take some time before and after the experience to get ready and reflect
Give yourself some time before and after the retreat, before flying home.

Not what I expected
***This review was gently edited to meet our posting policies while still honouring the reviewer’s original experience. - RG Team***

Review (November 2023):
My intention for booking this retreat was to use magic mushrooms as a sacred healing tool for inner transformation. This was unfortunately not fulfilled. I cannot recommend this retreat. The good: The location can be found easily and is close to Alicante city center. The atmosphere during arrival time was very friendly, welcoming, positive and relaxed. The helpers were friendly, open and positive spirited. During the whole retreat weekend there were several occasions where the helpers created positive and helpful situations, for example, they were in charge of the food, they helped with arrival, they helped during ceremony, they offered a talking circle, they offered yoga sessions and were always there in case of questions/problems. The bad: In my experience, the host appeared emotionally reactive at times, which made me feel unsafe. He often appeared tired, bored, and strained. There were moments during the retreat when his emotional outbursts made me feel uneasy about the group’s safety. One example of his behavior being that he entered a sharing circle smoking, another example being that he took medicine during a ceremony. For me, it was not at all a trustworthy retreat, mainly because of the of the host. I wouldn't recommend the retreat to anyone. I did not feel this was a safe environment for working with plant medicine.

Retreat Center Response:
Thank you for your feedback and for recognising the positive aspects: atmosphere, supportive team, food and organization. Your feedback has given us greater focus and motivation to be our very best versions.

During the ceremonies we take small amounts of medicine to accompany participants, much like in traditional indigenous practices. Think of it like a trekking guide who knows the path who walks alongside you.

We’re always learning and improving, and your feedback helps us do this. Thank you!

Sanso is such a great host.
Thank you. The experience with Sanso was so great that as soon as I met him, I felt comfortable around him and trusted him. When the ceremony started, I saw how attentive he was to different situations. His singing was absolutely astonishing and gave me a sense of calmness and belonging.

The second day was well planned with silent time as well as a really therapeutic healing mud bath.

On the third day, when we went up to the mountains, it was an amazing experience and he knew the terrain so well. The San Pedro was prepared well, and I had a fantastic experience which really helped me to move forward.

Wonderful weekend
I stayed at La Mezquita for the introduction weekend and honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. The team are all really wonderful people and they ensured that my experience was the best it possibly could be. The food, the accommodation, the activities were all exceptional but the live music on the first night and stunningly located mountain day led to some great memories to last a lifetime. Thanks La Mezquita for an unforgettable weekend.
