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.

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!
