"La Mezquita came along in my life at the exact time I needed them. Jolie, Klara, Pepi, Peter and Sansom are the absolute best. Sansom told me he and his staff “had my back” and they absolutely did. I can’t recommend them highly enough!. The group I went through the process with were kind, loving and caring people from all over the world. We all gathered there for all different reasons and we all gave eathother the space and room to learn, grow, and heal. If you are considering La Mezquita - take the leap - Sansom’s got you! Hope you meet Peter! He is a wonderful human being and someone I want to connect deeper with. He touched me in a deep and profound way! Thank you guys! It was nice to meet so many cool people. Namaste! "
"They experience its a solid 10 points!!! Since arrival and up until the end, the level of service, commitment and care, for the customers is as valuable as it can get. We came as a couple and each one was able to have his/her own transformational, transcendental, personal experience. Food was natural organic and delicious. Fantastic experience overall with wonderful human beings.
Recommended 100% is an understatement."
"I just completed this retreat and I am so grateful for the experience! Samson and his team were outstanding and very attentive to all the needs of the group. The environment was safe and welcoming to everyone. Everyone was allowed to experience the journey in the way they needed and at each person’s own pace. I had group support as well as given my own space when desired. The food was outstanding and plentiful. The La Mezquita crew loves their work and it shows in the care and individual attention they provide. I highly recommend this retreat and the La Mezquita Team!"
"La Mezquita team is an amazing group of people who made my experience very smooth, safe and efficient. I felt truly cared about, supported and at the same time free to explore and find “my own way”. The food, the setting, people who were creating the setting and taking care of all the small staff and details - all of it was contributing to amazing retreat. I am really inspired and optimistic after the retreat at la Mezquita and feel grateful to the team for their efforts and care. "
"Abuela Munay and her partner Javi led an indescribable and authentic ceremony that was a true privilege to experience. She has the most infectious, soulful laugh and is full of compassion. I am so grateful to have had this experience in her company. A special person and a real treasure. "
"I had an incredible experience with the wonderful team at La Mezquita in early Feb. Munay and Javi led a phenomenal and authentic ceremony that was very ably supported by the empathetic Joshua, Pepe and Jake. Everyone in our group was very well suited and connected to one another easily. The food and ambience were excellent too. The beach is very close by as well for those who wish to visit it. The shared apartments were lovely and only seconds away from La Mezquita too - which is very handy! I felt supported during my stay and I will certainly consider the other experiences on offer in the future. I think there's even a potential to have longer retreats with an extra day before and after the ceremonies maybe. "
"Words can't describe how grateful I am for the energy and care Munay had for our entire group. "
"I can't recommend La Mezquita highly enough! The people, the place, the care,.. it would have been a fantastic wholesome experience even without the ayahuasca. 10/10, can and will recommend. "
"I’m naturally inclined and professionally educated to be skeptical, so I was reticent upon arrival. When I met the team, my hesitance diminished and my curiosity prevailed. By the time the experience was over, I was convinced I made the perfect choice for my first exposure to ayawaska. "
"I attended the 4 day psilocybin retreat and would highly recommend La Mezquita for a budget friendly dive into the world of psychedelics. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, the food all home cooked and delicious, the ceremonies were well managed with a high staff to guest ratio. "
"I have already been to a few retreats before but this one stuck out.
They had 4 really good musicians there who played amazing music throughout the ceremonies.
Also the facilitator to participant ratio was really high so you could always get support.
Not to mention the food: At every meal they provide you with a lot of homemade, healthy and delicious options (Sanson does an incredible Maroccan Tangine)
Well deserved 5 stars!"
"Lead a great ceremony and created an environment full of compassion and understanding. I felt in very great hands and really enjoyed my Ayahuasca experience thanks to him. He is also a really great musician and teacher. "
"Klara was always there for us. She helped to create an environment of love and acceptance and was always open for a chat. Her magical and calming presence, advice and guidance made my Ayahuasca experience much more enjoyable and much easier. She also offers a great wealth of knowledge in all things psychedelics and owns the sweetest cat in all of Spain."
"She gave everyone a rock. A beautiful rock. As beautiful as her singing voice. Which guided and comforted us through our Ayahuasca journey, helping to create an unforgettable and heart-moving experience. In short she rocks."
"This was such an amazing experience! The team was extremely warm, professional and caring. We had beautiful and comfortable accommodations, vibrant delicious food and an amazing setting.
We had a lot of support during and after the experiences, the integration sessions were super important. The environment the team created was judgement-free and super loving. We always felt they were there for us, through music, and presence, they made our experience so rich and helpful. They felt like angels of light, and guardians of the sacred space.
We highly recommend La Mezquita if you feel the call to explore plant medicines. You could not be in better hands! We are forever grateful to them ❤️❤️❤️"
"As soon as I arrived at La Mezquita I was made to feel very welcome and safe by Misha and Sanson, and we talked over tea about my intentions and hopes for the psychedelic journey. The Ceremony itself was beautifully put together all the way through, from the breathing exercises beforehand to the live piano and guitar music during the journey. I had an extraordinary experience during which I felt things I have never felt before, including a huge sense of love and compassion to those around me and to myself. By the end of the evening I felt I was among friends.
"
"Safe, loving hosts, great beautiful music and medicine, comfortable space and beds. Highly recommend!"
"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 (mostly very young women in their early twenties) 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:
The host of this place is a very troubled, unbalanced and - at times - aggressive man, that is not in control of his emotional state. He often appeared tired, bored, strained, and high. His temper was dangerous for the group in several situations. One example of his unreasonable behavior being that he entered a sharing circle with a joint in his hand, another example being that he was high himself during a ceremony, and he was high on at least two substances while driving a car with four participants himself. Another example of troubled behavior being that he tried to sell drugs during the final circle.
For me, it was not at all a trustworthy retreat, mainly because of the unstable character/personality of the host. I wouldn't recommend the retreat to anyone. This is not a place for safe experience with plant medicine."
"Very professional and warm team that takes genuine care of you from start to finish.
Feel very grateful and blessed to have taken this decision to work on myself.
Thanks Jake, Sanson, and all power ladies involved.
Warm wishes

"It was my first Psychedelic experience and I had done my research on choosing the right centre. La Mequita is a place based on community and promoting the use of psychedelic to the general public . Since I have had only one such experience at a Psychedelic retreat I cannot compare them to others but I found the mix of the two days ( just magic mushrooms and one day magic mushroom+ San Pedro ) quite distinct . The psychedelic experience itself was amongst the best sensory experiences in my life ."
"A truly magical experience that has set me on the path to growing into who I really am, a change within that awakens your authentic self.
Couldn’t have done it without the guidance of the mountain and La Mezquita.
I will forever sing the mantra, and release control.
Much love. "
"Jake plays the piano to help take us to over dimensions during the ayahascua experience.
His playing is instrumental in letting go of past weights/traumas.
Highly recommend. . "
"My retreat at La Mezquita was a profound and eye-opening experience. The serene atmosphere, skilled facilitators, and the magic of psilocybin created a transformative journey that left me with a renewed sense of self and a deeper connection to the world around me."
"Sanson's presence and guidance during the retreat felt strangely familiar, as if we had met in another realm before, making the experience deeply comforting and transformative."
"Klara's guidance during the San Pedro journey in the mountains was both nurturing and insightful, providing a safe space for profound self-discovery and healing."
"Sanson's leadership and his soulful rendition of "Sat Chit Ananda" added a profound spiritual dimension to the ayahuasca ceremony. His presence guided us through a deeply transformative experience."
"Misha's singing during the ayahuasca ceremony was a soul-stirring experience, adding profound depth to the journey. Her presence and soothing voice created a sacred space for healing."
"Klara's presence and guidance during the ayahuasca ceremony were truly transformative, leaving a lasting impact."
"I recently had the privilege of attending an ayahuasca retreat at La Mezquita in October, and I must say it was an experience beyond words. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Munay, Javier, and Sanson for their exceptional guidance and unwavering support throughout the entire journey.
The music and atmosphere created a sacred space that allowed me to dive deep into my psyche. Munay's icaros were like a bridge to the divine, soothing and inspiring in equal measure. The sense of community was profound, and I felt genuinely supported and safe.
I'd also like to express my thanks for allowing me to extend my stay and further integrate the experience. La Mezquita is a true haven for those seeking spiritual growth and healing. I can't wait to return."
