Our psilocybin-assisted retreats offer a safe, legal and supportive environment to experience a psychedelic journey, which can help you experience greater freedom, wholeness and creative flow. The psychedelic used at the retreats is the psilocybin-containing truffle, and the retreats take place in the Netherlands, where psilocybin truffles are legal.
Psychedelics can shift us out of our everyday perception and help open us up to a larger, mountain-top perspective from which new insights can arise. They can help us make better sense of our past, coming to terms with hardships we’ve faced or understanding how past wounds might be influencing our current life. And they can put us in touch with a deep well of inner resources with which we can begin transforming patterns we are stuck in. For many, psychedelic journeys are also a first glimpse into the spiritual dimension of life.
The word Alalaho comes from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and encapsulates the joy and wonder that arises when opening to what is, when embracing and celebrating all aspects of reality. It acknowledges the great Mystery, the immensity… and the simplicity of it all.
Alalaho is about cultivating this all-embracing attitude as a way of life, which happens through a continuous interplay of opening and deepening. Peak states, such as those experienced on psychedelics, can open us to what is important in life, and steer our course, but they alone aren’t enough to transform insights into lasting change. Our conditioning quickly lures us back into entrenched behaviours. To deepen the insights gained during a peak state into a new way of life, we must address what is blocking us from experiencing our full freedom, wholeness and potential.
We do so by attending to the various dimensions of our human experience: the relationship with ourselves, with others, with the natural world and the mystery of life. This is the underlying principle woven into all our work and every one of our retreats.
