About this Retreat
As Co-Founder and CEO of Alegria Retreats, I am a purpose driven leader, dedicated to my mission to support people finding their way back home to themselfes.
A strong curiousity about the fundamental questions of life has lead me on the path of psychedelics. In the last 9 years they have become a powerful ally in my personal evolution. They have helped me to heal trauma, reprogram negative patterns, deepen my spirituality and tap into my highest potential.
I see our work as an act of service which I treat with integrity, humbleness and mindfulness while being aware of our big responsibility. I am dedicated to this work full-time and always researching and evolving with the times.
Over the years I have deeply immersed myself in altered states of consciousness and studied a wide range of methods of „inner work“ like eastern spirituality, jungian psychology, hypnotherapy, neo-shamanism, NLP, parts work, meditation etc.
I intuitively use these tools in combination with psilocybin to help you get to the root of your condition and activate your self healing mechanisms. Always taylored to your specific needs, preferences and pace.
I consider myself a student of brazilian indigenous traditions that have teached me the importance of sound during a psychedelic journey. Playing music has become my main tool to support and deepen a profound experience.
My clients say I have a grounding and reassuring presence which allows them to let go and surrender during a journey. I will give you the right impulses that allow you to get to the layers of the experience that create the most meaningful impact in your life.
My biggest reward is seeing people open their hearts, reconnect with their power and feeling that sense of inner freedom and joy.
Hello I'm Nuria, I'm a trauma-informed coach, somatic guide, mother, and co-founder of Alegria Retreats.
Through my extensive work in trauma healing and inner child integration I have developed a deep understanding of how early experiences shape our subconscious patterns and how we can rewrite them to create lasting change.
For over 8 years, I have supported more than 300 people, on deep journeys of healing with sacred plant medicine, weaving together ancestral wisdom and modern therapeutic tools.
My own path—from a challenging childhood to touring the world as a dancer and immersing in practices like Yoga, TRE, and Breathwork—taught me how to transform pain into strength & purpose.
I’m here to help you gently release emotional and physical blockages, reconnect with your truth, and access the healing power that already lives within you. Before, during, and after ceremony, I offer a steady, nurturing presence—meeting you with softness, intuition, and strength when it's needed most.
My work is grounded in compassion and guided by the belief that you are capable of deep, lasting transformation—supported by the ancestral teachings I’ve received from indigenous communities in Mesoamerica and Brazil.
Through working with many different individuals on a holistic level, I find it fascinating that if you are willing to change and face your truth, it is possible to create a completely new life that feels more aligned with your values and potential.
As a Psychedelic facilitator I am deeply commited to guiding individuals through their personal transformations with psilocybin, helping them heal, reconnect with their bodies, and step into their fullest potential.
As Alegria's admin assistant I will be in touch with you throughout the whole process and always available to answer your questions.
I love being in service and before I could hold space for others, I had to walk this path myself:
I first tried the conventional route - earning a master’s degree and pursuing teaching - only to realize it wasn’t where I belonged. My search for something deeper led me across the world, immersing myself in holistic healing, and ultimately to psychedelic medicine. These sacred plants allowed me to release anxiety, reconnect with my feminine energy, and step into a life of alignment, and self-love.
With a background in education, yoga, reiki, and self-concept work, I integrate somatic practices and subconscious reprogramming to help others step into their power with clarity and confidence.
As a facilitator, I bring a grounding presence that makes you feel safe, seen, and deeply supported even in challenging parts of the journey. From the first call to post-retreat integration, I hold space with warmth, patience, and a deep trust in your ability to thrive.
My approach is intuitive and adaptable, guiding you through deep transformation while helping you rewrite old narratives and embrace lasting change.
I meet you wherever you are - with positivity and deep care.
" Inner Freedom and peace is not a state to reach - but a daily choice to make."
I am here to help you to make that choice as your personal psychedelic guide and your rock of safety. My mission is to free people from anything that hinders them to live a deeply fulfilling and gratifying life in harmony and bliss.
This mission has led me on the path of psychedelic work and manifests in my approach to facilitating your Psilocybin Experience.
With A strong and grounding presence my aim is to help you answer the most critical / crucial questions in life:
• What is my Potential?
• How Can I find my path?
• WHO AM I?
As a son of a Ghanian father and a German mother, I grew up with uncertainty about my own identity the question of - who am I?
It has guided me to explore myself, Travel the world and seek deep self-discovery with plant medicine.
On this path of self exploration I learned many skills and made many experiences, which I will offer to you with great respect as a tool box for your own journey. The way I work within groups is to serve anybody with love and respect to create A sense of safety.
I bring my whole force to any ceremony and u will feel it in the form humour, high energy and a never ceasing smile on my face.
You’ll feel my care and interest in your transformation before the ceremony where I support you with encoruragment and inspiration for new ways and decisions.
After the experience I support you to bring your insights into tangible results and reach a lasting transformation during the integration process.

About My Approach
In my work with psychedelics, both in preparation and integration, I bring together many years of hands-on medical experience, the latest evidence-based research, and a deep respect for indigenous traditions as well as the wisdom of earlier generations of psychedelic therapists.
My approach is grounded in the humanistic psychotherapeutic tradition, characterized by compassionate presence and respect for each person’s unique story and individuality. I understand how our earliest relationships shape the way we think, feel, and behave today, and how profoundly trauma can affect both body and mind. Yet even beyond trauma, we all carry many different, and sometimes conflicting, parts within ourselves.
In my work, I welcome this inner multiplicity and support the process of discovering, understanding, and integrating all these aspects of the self.
For me, growth is a collaborative journey toward self-compassion, deeper understanding, and healing.
The path is rarely short or simple—but it is the only path worth walking.

Details of this retreat
Experience a small-group psilocybin retreat in a safe, legal and professionally held setting. Science-backed and human-centred.
The Reconnect 2-Day Retreat is limited to 8 participants, so everyone has the space and personal attention they need. Each journey is individually guided and held with presence and care.
Step away from everyday life and into a welcoming, ceremonial space designed for you to turn inward. Over two days, you have room to feel deeply, enter a new state of consciousness, and see your life from a new angle. Live music and a sound journey accompany the ceremony and carry you through it.
Your psychedelic facilitator guides you through the entire process, from preparation to ceremony to integration. Our retreats are designed to help you reconnect with yourself, loosen old patterns, and explore the roots of the challenges you're facing in your life.
With over 300 guided journeys and 10 years of experience, we're committed to supporting people on their path of inner growth.
We'd be honored to welcome you to the Netherlands and tailor the experience to your needs and intentions.
The Process
Your safety comes first. Every guest goes through a medical and psychological screening before acceptance, including a conversation about any medication you take. Our safety protocols are informed by psychedelic research and established practice.
Your preparation begins with a short intro call to make sure it's a good match, followed by online preparation calls to set clear intentions, build trust with your guide, and prepare you mentally and emotionally for the experience.
Our retreats take place in the Netherlands, where psilocybin truffles are legal.
On the day of your ceremony, we take time to arrive, connect, and have a one-on-one conversation before the journey begins. You then settle into a warm, cozy ceremonial space, with live music and a sound journey accompanying the ceremony.
Experienced guides are with you throughout, and you have space to experience whatever arises at your own pace.
The journey doesn't end when the session does. Integration is where your understanding of the experience deepens and it finds its place in your everyday life. In our calls, we'll help you process what you went through and offer practices that fit you personally, so the change you felt inside can keep growing and be reflected in your day-to-day life.
Who will be your guide?
The more you trust your guide, the deeper you can go. We're a network of facilitators from around the world, all with years of experience. Some are trained psychedelic facilitators, some are medically trained, and others bring a trauma-informed or coaching background.
After a short intro call, we decide together whether it's the right match.
Is this the right retreat for you?
Every journey is different, but people often come to us when:
You understand your patterns on a mental level, but still feel stuck in them and can't seem to change them at the root.
Books, therapy, and other tools have helped you, but you've reached a point where it doesn't go any deeper.
You're at a crossroads, facing an important decision or life transition, and want clarity before your next step.
You've tried pushing and willing your way forward, but sense there's another way to live, with more ease, trust, and purpose.
You're curious about experiencing another state of consciousness, to learn something about yourself and explore the deeper meaning and mystery of life.
Medication
Certain medications, such as SSRIs, can reduce the effects of psychedelics, and some combinations aren't safe. Please don't stop or change any medication on your own. Talk to your doctor first, and we'll go through it with you in your screening.
Take the first step
Book your spot or schedule a short intro call. You'll speak directly with our team to ask questions, talk about your intention, and see whether Alegria Retreats feels like the right path for you.
We offer scholarships and reduced rates for those who can't afford the full price. Feel free to reach out.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Venue & Amenities section here is not right and we are not able to change it at the moment. The retreat will be in a retreat house close to Eindhoven and not in your Air Bnb.
Our ceremony is held in a converted farmhouse near Eindhoven, with old wooden beams, a crackling fireplace, and a garden that opens into green countryside. You'll wake up to birdsong and open meadows, with hiking and cycling routes right outside the door.
Inside, it feels like a home: a cozy living room with a fire, a long wooden table where you share meals, and a ceremony room with soft rugs, singing bowls, and candlelight. It's a place for calm, nature, togetherness, and personal care.
We look forward to connecting with you.
