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.

Details of this retreat
Psilocybin assisted coaching for entrepreneurs. (5 week program)
The quality of a leader is determined by his/her level of self leadership.
That means knowing your self with your weaknesses, strenghts, desires, traumas and limiting beliefs. I see psilocybin as a great tool for leadership and have coached many leaders to become more self aware, empathetic, be clear on their values and mission.
I have organized retreats specifically for entrepreneur networks & masterminds and have gained a lot of insights on patterns that many leaders share.
That is why I created this program for those that want to make a positive impact in this world while also being conscious of their mental health, relationships & self care.
If you invest a lot of time into your business but feel now is the moment to focus on your inner growth as a human being then this is for you. With a psilocybin assisted ceremony you can uncover layers of your psyche that sometimes take years to uncover in psychotherapy.
We will create a program taylored to your specific situation to help you achieve the level of peace, confidence, trust, clarity or whatever it is you are looking for in this process.
This 5 week program contains 2 Preparation Calls, 1 or 2 psilocybin sessions, 2 integration calls and homework like meditation, self observation and journaling.
Psilocybin is not a wonderpill. The best results are achieved when you actively invest your focus and energy into this process. I'm looking forward to getting to know you! Here is some more general info about our me, our organisation and psilocybin:
