About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Psychedelics are at the forefront of psychological research, providing effective means to address depression, anxiety, and addiction, boost creativity, challenge existing thought patterns, and explore life’s purpose. They allow for the exploration of altered states of consciousness, empowering individuals to realize they can shape their own reality.

At La Mezquita, we aim to create a safe and supportive environment for profound inner experiences, combining techniques from yogic philosophy and modern psychological research.

Outdoor Psilocybin/ San Pedro Retreat:
This one-day Magic Mushroom and San Pedro retreat is designed for those with limited time, focusing on a powerful, nature-immersed experience. This ceremony takes place in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful, serene landscapes. Participants can fully embrace the connection to nature during the journey. However, if preferred, we offer the option to conduct the ceremony indoors upon request. Integration sessions, accommodation or a Yoga Session can also be arranged separately.

Psilocybin Psychotherapy:
Our approach follows the adapted methodology from Johns Hopkins and Imperial College, adjusted for an outdoor setting. Participants can relax and connect with nature while live music from our musicians enriches the journey. Our trained psychologists will be present throughout to provide support.

Group Size:
We keep our groups small (max 6 participants) to ensure a personalized and meaningful experience. Check out reviews from past participants to learn about their experiences.

Dosage:
Dosages are carefully tailored to each participant based on their needs, health, body weight, experience, and desired journey depth. We use Psilocybin cubensis mushrooms, known for their higher psilocybin content compared to truffles. Dosage discussions are part of our one-on-one consultations before the retreat. During the consultation we will discuss if a Psilocybin, San Pedro or a mix of both if the best fit for your individual needs.

Mental Health Consultations:
We begin with a screening call to understand your health situation, answer any questions, and discuss your intentions. Please fill out the following form for that: https://forms.gle/f3wcGUHGAEKdSzTp7. Upon arrival, you'll have a private session with our facilitators to set the right mindset and address any concerns. Our team, with trained psychologists, offers integration sessions on request.

Community Living at La Mezquita:
La Mezquita is the headquarters of Spain’s first psychedelic society, La Sociedad Psicodélica. Originally a Moroccan restaurant, it has retained its authentic charm and evolved into a communal space for artists, musicians, yogis, and mental health specialists. Located just 100 meters from a sandy beach and 20 minutes from the mountains, it offers a spacious common area, a sea-view terrace, outdoor fire space, and artistic surroundings.

Medication Recommendations:
We advise participants to discontinue antidepressants or other psychiatric medications (SSRIs, SPARIs, SNRIs, TCAs, MAOIs) before the retreat, as they can lessen the effects of psychedelics. For fluoxetine (Prozac), taper off at least six weeks before the retreat. Always consult your doctor before adjusting any prescribed medication.

Safety Restrictions:
For safety reasons, we cannot accept participants who:

1. Have been diagnosed with an emotionally unstable (borderline) personality disorder.
2. Have a history of psychosis (including drug-induced psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder) or are currently taking antipsychotic medication.

Other Recommendations:
Take time before and after the retreat for preparation and reflection. Give yourself space to integrate your experience before heading home.

Reservation and Cancellation Policy:
A 50% deposit is required to secure your spot. The deposit is refundable if the retreat is canceled by the organization or if you cancel at least seven days prior to the retreat. The remaining balance is payable upon arrival.

Join us for a transformative experience of self-discovery and healing. Reserve your spot today!

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.
