About this Retreat
With more than 30 years of experience with psychedelics, Sanson's journey began in the vibrant land of India at the age of 18. It was there, amidst the cultural tapestry of Goa, in 1995, that he had a transformative encounter with both spirituality and psychedelics. Sanson, who was a psychology student at Merton College, London, during that time, embarked on a life-changing trip.
Since that profound moment, Sanson's life has been intertwined with the exploration of altered states of consciousness and the world of psychedelics. His extensive travels have allowed him to sit with wise elders, holy men, curanderos, yogis, psychonauts, and fellow enthusiasts across the globe.
In 2013, an epiphanic encounter with the San Pedro cactus became a turning point in Sanson's life. Fueled by this experience, he committed himself to becoming a full-time psychedelic activist. Along this remarkable journey, Sanson has achieved numerous milestones, including:
- Establishing the Spanish Psychedelic Society in 2016 and serving as its president.
- Founding La Mezquita renowned psychedelic retreat center in 2019.
- Active participation in the Cosmic Care Boom Festival from 2022 to 2023.
- Organizing free landmark conferences for Spanish speakers in February 2019 (Madrid) and in Valencia (2021), and Barcelona (2021).
- Collaborating with several psychedelic conferences, including Insight Berlin 2021 and the What's the Convention in 2019.
- Sharing his insights and experiences through interviews, documentaries, podcasts, and YouTube videos, making a significant impact in the field of psychedelics.
Sanson's dedication and passion for psychedelics, combined with his background as a psychology student, have made him a prominent figure in the community, contributing to its growth and understanding.

Join our Psychedelic Retreat Weekend for a transformative and secure psychedelic experience. Immerse yourself in two powerful ceremonies, where you will be held in a safe space with live music, allowing for deep introspection. The first ceremony provides an opportunity for profound inner exploration, while the second offers a group synergy as you venture into the mountains.
Our retreat incorporates the healing powers of Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybin) and San Pedro (mescaline), with dosages tailored to your specific needs and discussed in advance. We understand that each participant is unique, so we provide the necessary tools for you to connect with your inner healer, realign with your true self, and synchronize with the rhythms of nature.
At the Mezquita, we prioritize personalized care and keep our groups small to ensure a meaningful experience. Take a moment to explore the excellent reviews from our past participants and hear their perspectives.
During the retreat, you'll have the opportunity to have a private session with our experienced facilitators to discuss any specific topics or intentions you wish to explore. Our main facilitator boasts over 30 years of experience with psychedelics and 10 years of guiding others.
Our approach combines elements from the John Hopkins/Imperial College methodology, where participants wear an eye mask and listen to music, with our own ceremonial setting. We enhance the experience with live music, carefully curated for each moment, rather than a set playlist.
Dosage is personalized based on factors such as body weight, previous experience, and health. For therapeutic experiences, we prioritize finding the right balance, while those seeking a more mystical journey can explore higher dosages. We prioritize safety and ensure that our participants and therapists are always in a secure environment.
We use Psilocybin cubensis mushrooms, not truffles. These mushrooms are more powerful than truffles , they contain a much higher concentration of psilocybin.
Join us for an unforgettable weekend of self-discovery and healing. Space is limited, so secure your spot today.
Recommendations for antidepressant medication:
Any type of antidepressant or pharmaceutical medicine for pain, anxiety, or any other mental health problem are best to be avoided.
If you are taking SSRI (except fluoxetine), SPARI, SNRI, TCA or MAOI medication for depression this can considerably lessen the effects of the psychedelic experience. Depending on how long you have been taking these types of medicines you may need at least 21 days to detox from them for long term use, and a very minimum of 15 days for shorter term use. If you are taking fluoxetine (Prozac) you may need to taper and discontinue the consumption at least 6 weeks prior to the psychedelic experience.
In our experience attendees that have not rested from this medication can have less noticeable effects of psychedelics. Please consult with your doctor if you need to stop taking prescribed medication. We always encourage you to listen to your doctor or your mental health advisor, and ask for their best advice on how to taper down antidepressant medication. If you are taking any other kind of psychiatric medication, please consult your doctor beforehand.
Please, keep in mind that unfortunately, for safety reasons we cannot welcome you to the retreat 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.
For this reason we have a screening questionnaire and interview to get to know your motives, experience and most importantly your current state of mental and physical health.
Intoxicants and stimulants should be avoided, or at least significantly reduced. This includes: alcohol, drugs, stimulants...
