"I had a lot of existential thoughts and blockages that I wanted to look at from a new perspective with the help of psilocybin. Alan took time in a Zoom call to understand me and my goals. I booked a 1 Day Private Psilocybin Ceremony in Amsterdam and Alan arrived to my flat. He took care of my needs at the time of the experience and provided a great guidance. Also the Zoom call conversation to integrate my experience into my life was very useful and helpful. My mind is now full of new ideas about old stuff, which never crossed my mind before. So I'm very grateful for this journey!"

"Gregory has all the best qualities of the perfect guide. My journey definitely wouldn't have been so beneficial if it wasn't for him.
A part from the usual qualities you'd expect from a guide (trustworthy, puts you at ease, listens very well etc.), the one that particularly stood out to me is Gregory's level of care for making sure he doesn't "color" or influence your journey. Gregory makes sure to say just what is needed to help you let go, look within and reap the benefits.
I know for sure that I'll be doing more sessions with him in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great guide :)"
"An excellent experience. Very thoughtfully conducted and guided by Gregory from the outset to ensure you are in a position to enable the maximum benefits from your journey. Highly recommended."
"Attending the Alegria psychedelic retreat was a transformative experience for me, as someone dealing with chronic fibromyalgia pain, anxiety, and occasional depression. From my first interaction with Alan, there was an immediate connection, and I embarked on the journey from the Middle East to the Netherlands with anticipation and curiosity.
Opting for two private ceremonies, I found it hard to articulate the profound impact of my encounters with psilocybin. Each ceremony was a unique and intensely powerful experience. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Alan, who traveled from Germany to facilitate these ceremonies and guide me through them. I'm also deeply appreciative of my brother Stan, whose presence during the second ceremony helped me delve into my emotions and release my suffering. Their authenticity and genuine intention to alleviate my struggles were palpable throughout.
Upon returning home, I noticed a remarkable shift in my mindset. Fear and anxiety no longer held me captive, and my suffering had notably lessened. I am eager to repeat this journey with the same compassionate individuals. Thank you, Alegria, and everyone involved in facilitating this profound healing experience. 🙏🏻🕯️"
"I signed up to this retreat last minute, not knowing totally what was involved & not knowing what I would get out of it...
...What I got was life changing.
The whole team at Alegria have an incredible aura about them, creating a space where you can truly be yourself without being judged or worrying what people think (I was amazed at how many shields I had up).
It's hard to put into words what happens to you during the ceremonies, but for me personally, for the first time in my life, I got answers to some of the bigger questions & had revelations about myself, my work & relationships. One thing to note is how incredible the support is during the ceremony - the team have an incredible way of knowing when you need some support during your experience & when you're okay to have some space. Another thing to note is how incredible the music is during the ceremony and throughout the retreat (Viva Malika)!
In short, I arrived at the retreat burnt out from work, lethargic & struggling in myself & relationships. I left feeling very much as if I was starting a new life, healing old wounds & starting to live as we were meant to, in joy!
You won't regret it.

"I am just back from my first retreat and I have never been on any type of wellness retreat so I was not sure what to expect. Alan, Nuria, Stan, Malika, and Sinja did a fantastic job guiding and helping myself and the group. They engendered trust, gave us very meaningful guidance and kept a very warm and caring environment throughout. I feel the team at Alegria are completely genuine and they made the experience very helpful and memorable. I cannot recommend them enough if you are considering a retreat."
"This was my very first experience with any psychedelic substances, and Greg's facilitation of the process was an essential part of me feeling safe and trusting during the session. We did a video chat in advance and he explained the process throughout, and has also followed up with me after the process. He's a beautiful human being with good intentions. The session itself was humbling and beyond words, and has resulted (only a week in) in some definite shifts in my way of being so far, which I hope to cultivate and continue through some spiritual practice, more research and being in nature. If in the future I decide to continue my exploration of Psilocybin, I will definitely get back in touch with Greg. All the best to anyone who reads this."
"A Whole New High is a sanctuary for the evolution of consciousness. The guides are incredibly gifted and wise. This is an experience everyone should undergo. Gratitude beyond measure."
"Massive gratitude for the session! Not only did it bring me clarity, but it tackled all my queries. I've gained practical tools for my daily life, and the transformation I'm experiencing already is beyond words – a definite upgrade from before."
"The teams year long experience with psychedelics, their psychotherapy and psychology know-how mixed with Psilocybin magic felt like embarking on an adventure of self-discovery. Thank you!"
"What stood out most for me was the genuine care and compassion that Jeanne and Cony infused into every aspect of their work. Their nurturing presence and commitment to creating a supportive community allows for vulnerability, emotional release, and authentic connection."
"I am truly impressed by a team of gifted and inspiring facilitators who seamlessly integrate both the western and shamanic approaches, creating an experience that truly embodies A Whole New High."
"incredible! highly recommended."
"Prior to this retreat, I was trying everything to improve my mental health for more than 30 years, but everything felt like a shot in the dark. The retreat helped me to see my destination and plot my course forward. I was able to clear away old hurts and move around blocks. The team assembled for our retreat was caring, passionate and knowledgeable; they knew the right word to say at the right time. I feel more like myself than I have in many years. Living true to my inner self is such a gift. I still have work to do, but I now clearly know my direction and feel such purpose and peace every day. It wasn’t what I expected, but it was exactly what I needed. I truly consider the group retreat one of the best things I have ever done and strongly encourage everyone to embrace this experience."
"Insightful and incredible psilocybin therapy session that provided a clear experience of the transformative power of psychedelic experiences."
"I just finished psilocybine retreat with Alan.it was an amazing,life changing experience. Definitely recommended to others. "
"I was a bit scared to book the retreat with people I found online, as I know it is important to have a "safe space" when working with psychadelics. But if you are feeling like me, I can assure you that the group at Alegeria are completely committed to creating a warm, secure, heart-centered experience! Our group was 10 participants with 7 amazingly skilled and loving guides!
The format of the retreat is also extremely supportive. For me it was helpful to have the 2 pscylocibin ceremonies, to work through various topics. We also had a beautiful yoga practice, a movement course, and the voice liberation workshop. Each of these helped to open me up and explore my aims towards my true self.
If you are thinking of doing this retreat, reach out and speak to Alan. I think you will immediatly feel if this is right for you.
And to Alan, Nuria, Sinja, Malika, Stan, Phillipe, and Simon: I am so grateful to you for all your words, presence, teachings, music, and joy! Alegeria!!!"
"Nothing negative to say! The entire experience was life changing and folks I shared it with were an extraordinary bunch! The facilitators were all compassionate and extremely caring. They are truly gifted in the art of people! "
"I spent quite a bit of time seeking the right guide as it was my first psilocybin experience. From our first video call I had an intuition he is the right guide for my experience. He explained what to expect clearly over 2 calls to prepare for the experience. I did two sessions under Greg's guidance. His method is non interventionist, allowing room for self discovery during the session. His presence and helpfulness made the set and setting very comfortable. Anyone pursing a private session I can highly recommend Greg. "
"From the moment I started with working with Sonia, I felt enveloped in an aura of understanding and acceptance. Sonia, with their impressive blend of professional expertise and heartfelt empathy, created a sanctuary of healing. For the first time in my life, I truly experienced what it means to love myself, to honor my journey, and to embrace my imperfections.
My husband and I also had a couples session with Sonia. The couples' sessions offered a sacred space where my husband and I could truly see and hear each other, cultivating a deeper connection that we hadn't realized was possible. Working with Sonia has not only changed my life but has taken our relationship to an extraordinary new level. It's a profound gift we will carry with us forever.
For those seeking a pivotal transformation, this work under Sonia's guidance is a beacon of hope and growth."

"If you are looking for a Retreat that is well organized in every way, with professionals who know what they are doing, friendship, good music, connection to everything, like minded people and good food then you have come across the right Retreat. I can say full heartedly that the decision to go to the Netherlands in search of myself and some answers to life, has been more successful than I ever dared to hope. :)
Everything is well organized, several zoom conversations before and after the Retreat (both private and the whole group), private chats during the retreat and the team is always there for you all the time if you need to talk about something or get help in any way. During the ceremony, the team is absolutely present all the time and takes good care of you, reads absolutely what you need every time so you are always in safe hands. <3
I would like to give special mention to Malika who plays and sings for you throughout the journey, there is some great magic there that touched my heart. I could name everyone in the group and say something beautiful about them, there is some magic in each and everyone! I am full of gratitude and love for all the hard work they put into this wholehearted.
And let's not forget the great surroundings and the accommodation, and the best food I've ever tasted at a retreat (and I've been to a many!). Everything so well prepared and everything prepared with a heart full of love. My heart is full of gratitude and love! Thanks a thousand times Alan, Nuria and the whole team, Haux Haux <3"
"Stan was amazing. He came to talk to us individually to really make sure we were safe with the medicine.
He has such a bright presence and gave me the support I needed, when I needed it. He was always joyful and smiling and it rubbed of on us all.
I am very grateful for his work.
Thank you ❤️ "
"Philippe was amazing. He was there for my one-on-one (or one-on-two? 😅) talk with Alan after I had been struggling and I could really feel his caring presence during the sessions.
And he also helped me raising my voice in song and he danced with me when the music moved me. He was such a support for the group and I am very grateful for him.
Thank you ❤️ "
"Malika was so important during this experience. Her music brought light and life! The voice activation workshop she held with Philippe was a really important part of my journey. I had been feeling not myself after the first session but the workshop really brought me back to myself and I am really grateful for that.
Thank you ❤️ "
"Nuria was like a little light fairy bringing motherly care to the whole group. She made sure we had good nutritious food and she was there for us when we needed support.
I am very grateful for her presence in the space.
Thank you ❤️"
"Alan was very understanding and helpful to me during my experience the whole weekend and also before the retreat started. We had a couple of one-on-one zoom talks before, and also while I was there, and he listened without judging and I could feel he cared.
I am grateful for his support and loving care and I felt safe.
Thank you ❤️"
"I had to seriously think about if I could afford to book this retreat as my money situation is not good. But I really felt like I needed this, so I ended up taking a loan to be able to pay for it. In short, I don't regret it!
I went through a very difficult process during the weekend, and I am so proud of myself to have pushed through and finished the sessions. I am so grateful for the beautiful work the team is doing and I am so grateful for all the people who were in the group with me.
This experience will most certainly change my life for the better.
Thank you ❤️"
"It was a journey within yourself. I was able to recognize my fears and face them. Caro looked after and supported me wonderfully!"
