About this Retreat
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 has been pursuing a special passion for conscious nutrition, natural medicine and a holistic lifestyle for over 10 years. Her journey with shamanic medicinal plants began in 2017, where she was able to learn about the potential of psilocybin as a guide in numerous sessions.
Since then, she has personally had healing and incredible transformational experiences with entheogens and has dedicated herself to her mission of supporting people in their growth processes.
She has participated in ceremonies with the Yawanawa, Varinawa and Huni Kuin tribes in Brazil, where she learned the indigenous approach to "spiritual medicine." She specializes in her work on the body level and brings with her a wealth of experience on the topic of clearing blockages and emotions trapped in the body.
During the retreat, she supports the participants in an intuitive way with elements from breathwork, massage, body alignment, TRE and other somatic approaches.
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.

For her the plant medicine is very sacred and only used in ceremonial setting. "Its helping me to remember and conecting me with my ancient roots and feeling oneness with divinity.

It has brought me very much closer to nature and helps me to understand, that all is One and that we are all made of the same particles...
