About this Retreat
My name is Alan Da Silva. I'm 35 years old and based in Germany. I am a father to one son and am passionate about inner work, leadership, and art.
My personal transformation, overcoming depression, healing trauma, and conquering addictions, has solidified my belief that psychedelics are a natural cure for psychological diseases and can serve as a tool for personal and spiritual growth. Since then, I have dedicated my life to creating spaces for the responsible and safe administration of these plant medicines, making it my mission to raise awareness of their therapeutic benefits.
For nearly a decade, I have been working with psilocybin, learning directly from plant medicine tribes in the Amazon and studying its therapeutic applications in the Western world. After working with over 100 people, I have observed that the best results are achieved when the use of psychedelics is combined with holistic well-being modalities as part of a therapy or coaching program.
Alegria Retreats bridges ancient wisdom with the modern zeitgeist to create a unique process in which people can feel safe, held, and seen. It is about creating a culture and community based on the qualities of the heart and clarity of the mind.
I am convinced that everyone carries the answers to life's questions already inside of them. Our work at Alegria is to help our participants uncover the layers to get to the depth of their being, allowing for deep healing, transformation, and a meaningful life.
I enjoy working as an empowerment coach, supporting people in reaching their highest potential and living a life based on their self-defined values and principles. I founded Alegria Retreats because I believe that when we heal ourselves, we heal 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.

Her first plant medicine experiences she has already received in an early period of her life, starting from 16. As she has been always an adventurer and seeker for the deeper truth of life.
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 is heart opening, cleansing and often feels like beeing reborn into this world. 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...

THE POWER OF CEREMONY
The significance of ceremonies at important stages of our lives is known and used across all cultures and generations. It honours the essence of important milestones, celebrates special moments, and manifests collective visions.
It is an element that is greatly missing in some of the most important transitions of our lives. Most of us never experienced a ceremony for becoming a man/woman, being a father/mother or to let go of the old so that we can step into new values.
Let's dedicate this ceremony to your specific intention and mark a significant new chapter in your life, anchoring it with a profound psilocybin encounter.
