The original legal psilocybin retreat in Europe. 

In 2016, Alalaho’s team pioneered Europe’s first legal psilocybin-assisted retreat, setting a new standard for transformative experiences. Year after year, we’ve refined our retreat programme to provide an unparalleled experience for our participants.

At the heart of Alalaho is a distinctive psycho-spiritual approach, blending the safe, lawful use of psychedelics with the very best of personal and spiritual growth modalities. Our retreats integrate practices from the Western clinical model, somatic and transpersonal psychology, as well as the rich wisdom of ancient traditions such as Buddhism and the shamanic lineages of the Americas.

Our 5-day psychedelic-assisted retreats, set in the tranquil landscapes of the Netherlands and the wild beauty of Spain, are carefully designed to guide you towards a receptive, trusting state of mind (set), in an environment in which you feel completely safe and supported (setting). Our program emphasises thorough preparation and integration, ensuring that you are fully supported, every step of the way.

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.

“The most supportive, meaningful and magical first experience with psychedelics” Maddy, February 2023

“Without a shadow of a doubt this has been the most transformative experience of my life.” Emma, December 2023

“It was one of the best experiences of my life. I’ve been doing talk therapy for years, along with breathwork, yoga, and all kinds of retreats involving inner work. None of those were able to provide such a transformational experience as Alalaho. I felt loved, taken care of, and safe. This allowed me to have a very positive journey and a smooth and profound integration.” Gui, December 2023

“Truly nothing short of a transformational experience. What was so impressive was how well the retreat was curated from the initial application and inquiry phone call, I could tell how genuine, kind and supportive the facilitators were. During the retreat, the meditation practices, embodiment practices, and creative expression through dancing/singing and art were equally as meaningful as the psychedelic journey itself. The venue was a very magical, well kept and clean. A pleasant surprise was how great the food was as well! All in all an exceptional few days in the Netherlands!!” Aaron, October 2023
