What people say

"I can honestly say Alalaho are an exceptional organisation for anyone considering a psychedelic retreat."

"Alalaho is a gift that life places on our path."

The most beautiful experience, that of connecting and, or reconnecting with oneself, and a power of healing, of inner peace. It also breaks down the barriers of vulnerability by connecting with others, with the energy of the group.

The entire program is designed with professionalism, generosity, subtlety, and love. The support before, during, and after is impeccable. The five days spent in an enchanting place where everything is designed to make us feel good. Meals that provide a visual, sensory, and gustatory experience.

And above all, a team of professionals whose support is perfect and precious. Alalaho, it's the gift of a lifetime to oneself...

"I found not only safety, but bucket loads of care, love, and belonging."

When I signed up for this retreat, I was after a safe environment to experience psilocybin for the first time. What I encountered was so much more than that. I found not only safety, but bucket loads of care, love, and belonging.

"One of the most memorable experiences of my life."

I wanted to attend the retreat because I believed the mushrooms — the truffles — would be the most profound experience.

I was wrong.

The whole retreat was life changing. I found a bond with a group of people that I hope will stand the test of time.

The facilitators each brought exactly the right mixture of nurture and challenge.

That combination — and the people I shared it with — made this one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

"It was truly a sublime experience."

The team was wonderful — so caring and empathic. They created a safe and supportive environment, and were clearly working hard to look after our needs.

The venue had a beautiful, warm ambience, and the food — OMG, the food!! It was outstanding. Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. It’s even inspired me to experiment more with my own cooking at home.

"Having been on several inspirational retreats beforehand, my expectations were very high, and this retreat most definitely did not disappoint!"

The venue, facilitators, preparation and integration exercises and food were all wonderful, but it was the ceremony itself that blew me away.

The facilitators are all beautiful people, down to the very last molecule!

"Now that I've left and been able to reflect, I realised that I haven't smiled so much with true friends, even though they were strangers only 5 days ago."

The facilitators were superb and negotiated the balance of guiding and discipline perfectly. Full of wisdom, humour, energy, hope, and love.

"The whole process felt thoughtful and intentional — I felt like I was receiving a first-class experience from start to finish."

"The weekend I spent with Alalaho was life-changing."

Over three days, I experienced the kind of transformation I could only dream of through a lifetime of therapy. I thought the retreat was amazing and wish everyone I know could attend.

"One of the best experiences of my life."

Alalaho 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 focused on inner work — but none of those gave me the kind of transformational experience I had with Alalaho.

"Sweet spot between disciplined practice and a psychedelic stretch."

This retreat hits the sweet spot between disciplined practice and a psychedelic stretch. It seemed to meet everyone where they were — not too tight, not too loose. Jen's Dharma talks (and they were Dharma talks, well and truly) were one of the best parts. My relationship with the dharma had felt stale, but this retreat revitalised it.

"I was able to totally disconnect from the world and connect with people on a real level."

I'm a difficult person to impress :) I tend to expect things to be good on principle, and I compliment sparingly. With this said, I was blown away by every aspect of the experience — from the facilitators to the content to the environment created. Things felt ... easy?

I think what they say about intention and setting with psilocybin is very apt, and I feel strongly that had I chosen to do psilocybin alone or even with a paid guide, my experience would not have been as positive.

I was able to totally disconnect from the world and connect with people on a real level, which is a rarity in our day and age. Some things you don't realize you need until you do them.

"The retreat has been more meaningful to me than I could have ever imagined."

"Oh my God, the food — are you kidding me?! It was the best food I have ever experienced. Larissa is a magician."

"A terrifyingly loving powerful breakthrough."

The venue was exquisite. The facilitators were workers of grace. The group was amazingly open and kind. So often there can be cliques or fragmentation — not so here. It was a true community, and I feel profoundly grateful.

Larissa’s food was heaven on earth. The best vegan food I’ve ever had. I don’t know how she wasn’t kidnapped.

"The retreat felt just right on every level — from the density and content of the activities, to the trip itself, to the excellent food. Four days was the perfect length."

"Alalaho was exactly what I’d been searching for."

I’ve always felt there must be more than what I experience in everyday life — and the psychedelics opened a deep sense of connection.

Now my goal is to bring that feeling into my everyday life. I don’t have a concrete plan yet, but I’ve got some ideas and visions. One step after another.

"It exceeded every expectation."

What to say? Heaven on Earth! I had a wonderful retreat and a gentle mushroom experience that felt uplifting and gave me exactly what I needed.

"I left feeling nourished on every level."

From the very first phone call, I could feel how genuine, kind, and supportive the facilitators were. The venue was magical and beautifully kept, the food was exceptional, and I left feeling nourished on every level.

"My retreat was perfect in every way!"

"The most supportive, meaningful and magical first experience with psychedelics."

Every aspect — from journaling and Zoom to the psychedelic experience and integration — was so thoughtfully and skilfully planned.The best food I’ve ever had on a retreat!”

"I could not have felt safer — or in better company — for a journey like this."

"How can people be so good, kind, always present? It felt like a dream."

The space was welcoming and tranquil — so aligned with the kind of journey it holds. And the food? Oh my god. It should be awarded Michelin stars.
