Alalaho offers a holistic, psycho-spiritual approach to human flourishing which integrates the safe and legal use of psychedelics with other transformational practices.

Our 4-day and 5-day psilocybin-assisted retreats in the Netherlands are carefully designed to prepare you to let go into a receptive, trusting state of mind (set), in an environment in which you feel completely safe and supported (setting). Both preparation and integration are foundational to our approach.

Our team of highly skilled facilitators pioneered the first programme of its kind in Europe in 2016. We have been refining our retreat programme ever since, to provide the most optimal and enriching experience for our participants.

Weekly drop-in session
Considering joining a retreat?

We offer a weekly live Q&A session on Zoom, where you can meet one of our team, get a feel for Alalaho and ask whatever question you may have about our retreat program.

You may even meet some other fellow travellers to share the journey with!

The word “Alalaho” comes from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It expresses the innate joy and wonder that arises when opening to what is, when embracing and celebrating all aspects of reality – just as it is.

Disclaimer

  • Our retreats are for people in good mental and physical health. We do not offer therapeutic or medical treatment.
  • Even though the vast majority of our participants have very meaningful and beneficial experiences, there is no guaranteed outcome from participating on a retreat.
  • The majority of research indicating the positive effects of psilocybin was done in a clinical setting, which is very different to that of a retreat environment. More research is needed to explore the benefits offered by group psilocybin experiences.
