About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Join Our Introduction to Psychedelic Retreat Weekend for a Life-Changing Experience

Psychedelics are at the forefront of psychological research, offering powerful tools to treat depression, anxiety, and addiction, enhance creativity, confront preexisting thought and behavior patterns, and reflect on life's meaning. They provide opportunities to explore altered states of consciousness, leading to an understanding that we each construct our own reality, allowing us to choose how to shape it.

At La Mezquita, we aim to provide a safe space for transformational inner experiences, introducing you to various techniques from yogic philosophy and modern psychological research to push you to establish a personal practice. This practice becomes your daily time to recharge and ground yourself.

Ceremonies

Dive deep within during two magical ceremonies, accompanied by live music and experienced facilitators.

Night Mushroom Ceremony: This introspective experience follows the adjusted John Hopkins/Imperial College methodology, where participants wear eye masks and listen to live music, enhancing the session's vibrations.

Day on a Mountain: This extroversive experience takes place in the beautiful Alicante Range, combining San Pedro cactus and magic mushrooms for a unique, cathartic journey. We travel to a scenic spot, a 20-minute drive from La Mezquita, to connect with nature and the supportive community.

Group Size

We prioritize personalized care by keeping our groups small (7 max) to ensure a meaningful experience. Explore excellent reviews from past participants to hear their perspectives.

Dosage

Dosages are tailored to each participant based on their needs, body weight, health condition, experience with medicinal plants, and desired trip strength. We use Psilocybin cubensis mushrooms, which contain a higher concentration of psilocybin than truffles. Therapeutic intentions usually involve moderate amounts, while those seeking a mystical journey may opt for higher dosages in a safe environment.

Mental Health Consultations

We start with a screening call to discuss your interests and health situation and answer your questions. Upon arrival, you'll have a one-on-one session with our facilitators to establish trust, discuss intentions, ensure the right mindset, and alleviate any doubts. During the retreat, you'll have private sessions to explore specific topics or intentions. Our facilitators are mental health specialists knowledgeable in various yogic and therapeutic techniques, with the main facilitator boasting over 30 years of psychedelic experience and 10 years of guiding others.

Integration Sessions

Work with medicinal plants acts as a catalyst for change. To facilitate this change, integration sessions are held with a strong emphasis on somatic techniques such as yoga, meditation, clay baths, team games, singing, and dancing.

Community Living

La Mezquita, originally built as a Moroccan restaurant, exudes authentic charm. It is the headquarters of the first Spanish psychedelic society, La Sociedad Psicodélica, and a multicultural communal living space for artists, musicians, yogis, mental health specialists, and free-spirited individuals. The venue features a spacious common area with art and musical instruments, a sea-view terrace, an outdoor fire space, and various games. It is located just 100 meters from a beautiful sandy beach and a 20-minute drive from the mountains.

Recommendations for Antidepressant Medication

Avoid antidepressants or pharmaceutical medicines for pain, anxiety, or other mental health issues before the retreat. SSRIs (except fluoxetine), SPARIs, SNRIs, TCAs, or MAOIs can lessen the effects of psychedelics. You may need to detox for at least 21 days for long-term use or a minimum of 15 days for short-term use. For fluoxetine (Prozac), taper and discontinue at least six weeks before the experience. Consult your doctor before stopping any prescribed medication. We encourage you to follow your doctor’s advice on tapering down antidepressants.

Safety Restrictions

For safety reasons, we cannot welcome you if:

1. You have been diagnosed with an emotionally unstable (borderline) personality disorder.
2. You have an immediate personal or family history of psychosis (drug-induced psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolarity), and/or are taking antipsychotic medication.

Other Recommendations

Take time before and after the experience to prepare and reflect.
Give yourself time before and after the retreat, before flying home.

Such a great place and team!
During the psychedelic weekend I had an intense experience, exactly what I was looking for.
And the guys were there right by our side, they let you have your process and then they help you integrate exactly when you need ;)

Their live music is amazing, it guides you during the trip, and anchors you with your intentions.
The ceremonies are perfectly timed apart, La Mezquita feels like a magical place, and the additional activities give you a better sense of what you experienced.
And to not forget about the beautiful Alicante! :)

Such a great experience, I highly recommend it, go with your heart open and the team and the plants will take care of you and your trip.

Transformative experience !
There are things you do, so transformative than you realise that there was a before and an after! Sanson and his truly caring team got me to that point. Everything was well prepared and yet always in a casual atmosphere, to open my conscience and lead me in faith and confidence to this new experience. I'm very grateful ! Elisabeth from Belgium

Incredible experience
I got a lot out of my weekend at The Mezquita for the introduction to Psychedelics . The plant medicine really does allow you to access a different part of your brain and can show you what your real underlying issues are. Sansom has an incredible team who genuinely really care about their work. The mountain trip and picnic was superb what an amazing place. Beautiful music all weekend too and good food.

The people around Sanson have created an impressive utopia in the Mezquita: a place of harmony, of the senses, of encounters, of celebrations and of silence, where everyone is treated with interest and respect regardless of their origins and past. The interaction is cheerful, tolerant and awakens everyone's creativity. The Mezquita is a blessed place for me. It magically leads me back to the essentials in life.
