Alan Da Silva

My name is Alan Da Silva. I'm 35 years old and based in Germany. I am a father to one son and am passionate about inner work, leadership, and art.

My personal transformation, overcoming depression, healing trauma, and conquering addictions, has solidified my belief that psychedelics are a natural cure for psychological diseases and can serve as a tool for personal and spiritual growth. Since then, I have dedicated my life to creating spaces for the responsible and safe administration of these plant medicines, making it my mission to raise awareness of their therapeutic benefits.

For nearly a decade, I have been working with psilocybin, learning directly from plant medicine tribes in the Amazon and studying its therapeutic applications in the Western world. After working with over 100 people, I have observed that the best results are achieved when the use of psychedelics is combined with holistic well-being modalities as part of a therapy or coaching program.

Alegria Retreats bridges ancient wisdom with the modern zeitgeist to create a unique process in which people can feel safe, held, and seen. It is about creating a culture and community based on the qualities of the heart and clarity of the mind.

I am convinced that everyone carries the answers to life's questions already inside of them. Our work at Alegria is to help our participants uncover the layers to get to the depth of their being, allowing for deep healing, transformation, and a meaningful life.

I enjoy working as an empowerment coach, supporting people in reaching their highest potential and living a life based on their self-defined values and principles. I founded Alegria Retreats because I believe that when we heal ourselves, we heal the world.
