Safe, legal, and life-changing psychedelic retreats.


If you’re here, something in you is probably ready for change.

Maybe you feel stuck. Maybe you’ve done the therapy, the journaling, the inner work — and still, something’s not shifting.

This retreat offers a safe, legal, and expertly guided psilocybin experience in the Netherlands. You’ll be supported by a team of experienced therapists and psychedelic facilitators, with a focus on integration that will help you turn your retreat insights into real-world changes.

We’ve been holding these retreats since 2016 — the first of their kind in Europe — and have guided over 1,300 people through this work.

So if you're craving a deeper sense of connection (to yourself, to others, and maybe even to something bigger than all of us), you're in the right place.

 

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

Maddy, UK

“I felt completely safe and looked after throughout the retreat. The love, care, and dedication shown by the facilitators was instrumental in allowing me to surrender completely to the psychedelic experience.” 

Ben, Australia

“If you want to figure out who you are and why you're on this planet, go to Alalaho.” 

Mark, UK

 

 

 

This is our signature psilocybin retreat — a chance to get away from it all, and back to yourself.


You'll experience a guided psilocybin ceremony in a safe, legal, and beautifully held space. You’re supported before, during, and after by experienced therapists and guides — with 1:1 guidance, group preparation and integration calls, and daily practices that help you turn your retreat insights into lasting transformation.

 

Who this retreat is for


This retreat is designed for anyone who’s craving real change, real connection, and a safe space to go deeper.

If any of these resonate, we'd say there's a good chance it's a good fit for you:

  • You've been feeling called to work with psychedelics, but want to do so in a setting that's professional and safe
  • You feel stuck — in old patterns, old stories, or a version of yourself you’re ready to move beyond
  • You’ve done the therapy, the journaling, the inner work… and you’re still searching for something deeper
  • You’re craving a sense of connection — with yourself, with others, and maybe even with something bigger than all of us

Your stay


The retreat takes place in a stunning natural setting deep in the Netherlands' countryside. You can choose between a private or shared room, with full access to the retreat’s grounds and amenities.

There's a wood-fired sauna, and a lake to dive into when you need to cool off. The ceremony room's panoramic windows make it feel like you’re right there in nature, even when you’re safe and cosy indoors.

Meals are prepared with love by our vegetarian chefs — and even the non-vegetarians who join us rave about the food.

 

 

“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.” 

Ian, UK

Jonah Brody | Lead Facilitator
 

Jonah is an Integrative psychotherapist and systemic group therapist. He loves working with people and with groups, and finds it humbling to be alongside people as they explore and deepen into themselves. 

With almost twenty years of psychedelic experiences, mainly in ritual and ceremonial contexts, Jonah believes psychedelics are an amazing addition to doing this as we all find ways to respond to the challenges and possibilities of living. He finds the way they can reconnect us with creative, spiritual, mystical and playful aspects of our lives constantly amazing. Jonah believes in the capacity of humans to find what they need, and know from his own experience that the simplest things can be life-changing – gardening, cooking, dancing, playing sport, laughing. 

His deepest hope for this work is that safe, well held and interpersonal psychedelic experiences become much more available and commonplace in our society, transitioning from esoteric and exclusive peak experiences towards simply one more way people can feel more connected to themselves, each other and the world around them.
