"Very professionally done. Great support throughout the experience...which was mostly fantastic, but also very difficult at times. Recommended!"

"I worked with Tyrell at Nagomi Retreats for a 1:1 psilocybin session. I had some fears going into, but Tyrell’s calm, supportive demeanor put me at ease. The experience itself was transformative and over the weeks since the session, I’m seeing the benefits in my life and am making progress towards the intention I set. I’m already planning a follow up session with friends. Highly recommend! "

"I recently had the privilege of attending retreat that was nothing short of transformative. From the moment I booked, I felt incredibly supported by the organizers, who took care of every detail with such genuine care and thoughtfulness. The quality of the program was beyond my expectations, offering deep insights and experiences that truly resonated with me. The facilitators were amazing—knowledgeable, yes, but also warm, approachable, and deeply invested in everyone's journey. They created a safe and welcoming space where I felt comfortable to open up and grow. The property was absolutely beautiful, a serene oasis that provided the perfect backdrop for reflection and connection. Every moment there felt special and rejuvenating. I can't recommend this retreat enough; it was a soul-nourishing experience that I will carry with me always... Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am looking forward to coming back. ☀️"

"If I tell you that what is written on the Inner Shift Institute website is truly what you will get, would you believe it? I was hoping for some of that. Years of therapy and family problems brought me to a point from which I saw no way out. Neither for myself nor for my loved ones. I came with one intention to solve one of many problems and with a bit of hope that this trip would bring something. However, what I encountered was a complete surprise at the extremes of each scale. And THIS SHIFT which takes you from one side to another, would not have happened without the wise leadership of the entire team. During 6-day stay program prepared by Alice and the team, each stage played its most important role. Without the knowledge and open heart of the team, each stage of it, preparation, management, integration would be only a fleeting event. Alice, Jeanne, Cony, Amber, Caroline you accompanied me on my journey and your presence with your gifts was the key to the transformation of me and the problems I was struggling with, a transformation that happens even after I returned home. I felt within myself the solution to the problem I came with - no matter how strange it may sound, this feeling is the essence. I wholeheartedly recommend it...to the world!"

"Thank you Nathalie! You was the perfect female energy. Everything felt so warm and lovely in your presence. You guided me through the hardest parts and I’m thankful for everything! See u soon and best regards, Sheila Rothberg "

"Thank you Boy for this nice experience! You was the perfect male energy and I’ve felt always save! You explained everything so well and you have so much knowledge! I’m really sure that was not my last visit! See u soon and best regards. Sheila Rothberg "

"It was the strongest trip for me; but Mother Ayahuasca is giving us always what we need and what we can handle! I’m so thankful for the nice, lovely and professional guides! Thank you so much! Also our group was fantastic! The rooms are clean and the main room is really cosy ♥️ I’ve felt always safe and loved! See u soon. Regards Sheila Rothberg "

"Beautiful, transformative experience in a warm setting with inspiring people! Thank you for the journey! "

"I had the immense pleasure of being part of a retreat with Alegria; the vibe, love, openness, support and education I received were heartwarming. Everything was perfect from the booking process until it was time to leave (and I did not want to). Alan, Nuria, Sinja, Stan and other space holders guided and helped me every step of the day allowing me to express, heal and love in the way I wanted. Haux Haux!"

"Having researched psilocybin therapy for some years l decided to embark on my first journey. This meant deciding on the right setting and the right facilitator to assist me with my journey, which will always stay with me for the rest of my life. From our first contact l found Gregory a very professional, humble and compassionate person, who l could speak openly to about my intentions around me embarking upon my journey. He understood my trauma and his guidance felt empathetic throughout the journey and truly caring. I much preferred a 1-2-1 session as l felt it was very personal. Gregory explained everything clearly through emails and on a video call before our session. On the day of my therapy Gregory arrived promptly, we spoke and l felt very comfortable and ready. He explained dosage and tolerance and we agreed what l would have. We proceeded with breathing exercises and l felt very relaxed to start my journey. Gregory was great at calming my slightly nervous anxiety with his humble manner. It was good to speak to him about the things that came up for me during my journey and at the end of the session as it was extremely emotional. Also touching base a few weeks later also helped to put things more into perspective of the journey, thank you Gregory!!! "

"This was my first experience with Psilocybin and I wanted a private journey. From the moment I met Tyrell, I felt very welcome and comfortable. Tyrell was very open and easy to talk to. He gave me some guidance on what to expect from the experience and how to approach it. The ceremony itself was amazing, with candles and Tibetan bowl music which was very peaceful. My journey was incredibly powerful but I never felt scare or unsafe. I would highly recommend Tyrell and his facilitating to others and I would definitely consider repeating the experience. Thank you, Tyrell!"

"Extremely grateful I felt very safe and welcomed with Tyrell’s professional and kind manner, it felt more like an experience with a friend than with a stranger. My journey was made relaxing and accessible by Tyrell’s preparation and gentle guidance. All my questions were answered and any anxiety I had, was taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend Tyrell to people who are interested in an authentic and more private experience."

"My experience with Tyrell was not just a pleasent one, it was a life-changing one. I came with some wishes that I had told Tyrell about prior to us meeting and I can honestly say for whatever reason you are seeking help/guidance in your life/journey you've made a right call going to Nagomi retreat. My experience left me speechless and in awe of Tyrell's knowledge, kindness and the aura of safe energy that is felt in his presence. In life, I almost lost hope, struggling with my demons, but I thought I'd make a last try to get better or admit defeat. Let's just say that this has completely changed my perspective on my whole existence and I cannot give enough kudos to Tyrell. I honestly have a feeling that all that misery I was going though led me to the dark tunnel where a light appeared... Tyrell is that light for me as the ceremony has to be done with someone with knowledge... Enter Tyrell and words can't express the gratitude and I only wish that I had found him sooner. I would recommend you to talk to Tyrell as I will be taking my mother to him for a ceremony as his vast knowledge of how to use the dosages and how to be there for you during the ceremony is unmatchable. I think after you've had a ceremony and take your mother to the same place for help says a lot about a retreat, but like I said... it's the whole combination that you feel safe - there is a guide (Tyrell) with a huge knowledge that makes you feel even safer. I believe you can understand that the results of my experience were not only good but life-changing and there is a lack of words for the gratitude I feel towards every bump on my journey that has led me to Tyrell. "When you're going though hell... keep going".... I hope you accept the help and I cannot recommend Tyrell enough. "

"Had my first-ever experience with plant medicine (psilocybin) with Caro and the Inner Shift Institute, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The entire team, from booking to trip guidance and integration, truly managed to create the best possible setting for a first-timer. The preparation was thorough and I was sent a bunch of useful resources well in time before the trip, all very helpful for a soft introduction to the world of psychedelics. This included a whole video course, a preparation video, book recommendations, and so forth. Caro was a wonderful guide throughout my experience. The preparation session was great, and she was thorough, analytical, and emotionally sound when guiding me in setting an intention for the trip. The result was great confidence and a calm, clear mind ahead of the experience. For anyone feeling a bit of nervousness surrounding plant medicine, Caro is a wonderful person to have around! She created a comfortable, safe, light, and professional setting from the minute we met, and ensured the same atmosphere throughout the experience. To me, this resulted in complete trust, surrender, and readiness both ahead of, during, and after the trip. The integration session took place a few days after the trip, granting me the time needed to thoroughly reflect upon the experience on my own first. During the integration, Caro truly helped me both make sense of my visions and connect them to my intention, my patterns, and life itself. I am ending this experience with increased clarity and a strong motivation to continue my inner work. I truly recommend the Inner Shift Institute to anyone aiming to enter the world of plant medicine and its healing powers."

"When I started my quest to find a guided psychedelic experience, A Whole New High (now Inner Shift) felt right immediately. They were responsive and provided information and guidance. Working with an established agency that employed seasoned practitioners was extremely important to me. Supporting a women owned and operated business was icing on the cake. When it came time to choose the practitioner, I knew that I would be in good hands with anyone. I was lucky enough to feel a connection with Karlijn through reading her biography and then watching a video of her explaining what could be expected throughout the process. I appreciate having the opportunity to work with AWNH, now Inner Shift, but am profoundly grateful to Karlijn for her expertise, her light, and her grounding nature. Her experience and wisdom helped guide me through a life changing journey. Karlijn’s energy and unwavering trust in this work provided the space and tools I needed to move through deep rooted barriers. With Karlijn’s help, I was able to face fears and ultimately surrender to the process. I do not feel that words are enough to describe my gratitude to this agency, for believing in this therapeutic modality and then employing women like Karlijn, who give themselves to this work so that people like me can find deep and profound healing.

"My partner and I recently attended a psilocybin retreat with Alan and Louise (aka Lou) through Alegria, and it was an incredibly transformative and beautiful experience for us both. Dealing with stress, anxiety, and past hardships had been a constant struggle, but this retreat provided us with the tools and support needed to begin healing on a deep, emotional level. Both of us felt like our session was profoundly healing. Alan's expertise in psilocybin medicine was evident, and their presence made us both feel safe and supported the entire time. They were both amazing singers and Alan also played different instruments beautifully during the session. The experience was intense but incredibly liberating. Alan also provided gentle guidance, helping us navigate through challenging moments and offering insights that were both enlightening and empowering. One of the standout aspects of Alegria was their emphasis on pre meetings, integration and aftercare. The retreat didn't just end when the session was over. We participated in discussions, and it helped us make sense of our experience and a better understanding of what went on. This ongoing support has been invaluable in maintaining the progress we made during the retreat. Since returning home, we've noticed significant improvements in our mental and emotional well-being. We feel more connected to ourselves and each other, and we have developed healthier coping mechanisms for dealing with stress and anxiety. The time also helped us to better understand and resolve some of the issues stemming from our past, leading to a more harmonious and fulfilling relationship. The was truly life-changing. The combination of a peaceful setting, compassionate guidance, and the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin created an environment where profound healing could occur. We are immensely grateful for this experience and would highly recommend Alan at (Alegria) to anyone seeking a holistic and effective approach to mental and emotional wellness. "

"I had an amazing experience with Alegria. I have had other retreat experiences and I was impressed and humbled by the team and the experience overall. Alan is gifted at leading the retreat. He is empathic and sensitive and takes the time to get to know everyone before the ceremony. He did an excellent job of explaining and guiding the process. Stan, Malika and Ksenia were also wonderful facilitators - all were experienced and knowledgeable, and all were keenly sensitive to the needs of the participants. They are also talented musicians whose music really enhances the experience of the ceremony. The sharing circle the following day was also amazing and an important first step for integration. I forgot to mention - I really appreciate the one hour preparatory phone call as well as the one hour integration call. I attended a two-day, one-night psilocybin ceremony. The location at Avani was beautiful and perfectly appointed for retreats. The facilities were very comfortable and clean and the gorgeous property offers plenty of forested nature for wandering/preparation/reflection. Nuria prepared a delicious and nutritious dinner and breakfast for us. I was in safe, capable hands with the Alegria team, and I am sure I will return. I'm grateful for the experience!"

"The first thing I experienced was the warmness of the coaches, this been my 1st experience I had alot of nerves & anxiety which they really helped with by talking me through the experience & made me feel safe in the environment. The venue itself was extremely clean & had all the facilities you need. The Ayahuasca area felt like you were in a Big Tepee, Very Special. The coaches/guides were professional throughout & assisted you on your journey. Also travelling from the U.K they mainly spoke in English for my benefit as did the other participants and I'm very grateful to all for doing this ❤️. I learnt that everyone has their own experience, I left enlightened, open minded, grateful for what The Mother Ayahuasca showed me & has given us. I left full of love, an appreciation of all life & know now we are all connected. Thank you Inner Journey 💞"

""I recently had the privilege of attending my second psilocybin retreat, and it was nothing short of life-changing. The team's deep passion for their work was evident in every detail, providing a safe, supportive, and impeccably organized environment that deeply enhanced my experience. Their expertise and compassionate guidance helped me explore profound new perspectives and foster personal growth. I am immensely grateful for the experience and highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking meaningful change in their life.""

"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. "

"Magda was my guide. She’s gentle with a loving soul and she expertly guided me through what was a fabulous journey of discovery.. The pre retreat information and discussion was excellent and I felt very well prepared. If you want a retreat that helps prepare you for the best result, this is it. I couldn't recommend Magda as your guide more highly. "

"Such a spiritual positively mind bending experience can`t be verbally expressed, it has to be lived thru, felt thru. Glad to have had my first experience of the sort with such a host. The music, the scent, the lights, the interior, the energy, and most importantly the guidance. Everything was just staggering. Simply put - a highly knowledgeable and greatly experienced host. It`s on the top of my To do again list. Tyrell, hope to see you soon agian :) "

"Such a great experience.  Our host was incredible.  With peaceful music in the background and the scent of essential oils our host created the perfect atmosphere where I was able to connect with this truly spiritual rejuvinating  magical experience.  I cant wait to do this again!"

"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."
