Alan Da Silva (38) is a highly skilled Psychedelic Facilitator with over a decade of experience working with psychedelics and their potential for personal development, emotional healing and self-discovery.
He has been mentored by industry-leading voices in the psychedelic retreat sector, as well as Indigenous shamans from the Huni Kuin tribe of the Brazilian Amazon. His approach bridges these two worlds, combining modern psychedelic research with the depth and wisdom of traditional ceremonial work.
Over the years, Alan has developed his own intuitive approach to facilitation, drawing on Jungian psychology, somatic practices, parts work, and meditation. He senses when to guide, when to gently challenge, and when to offer a compassionate presence while the experience unfolds.
He is the founder of Alegria Retreats and has personally guided more than 300 people through private and group retreat experiences, maintaining a high standard of professionalism, safety, discretion, and client care.
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!

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.
