A personal welcome

Welcome to Alalaho.
A more personal journey.

Sunlit orange tree in Andalucía

Maybe you feel stuck. Or you sense there’s more to life, or to you, than you’re currently experiencing. You’re curious about psychedelics, and looking for the right setting to explore.

For ten years, we’ve been welcoming people into that exploration through our group retreats. I love this work, and what happens when people come together still moves me deeply.

Along the way, we’ve also received so many requests for private experiences: from individuals, couples and friends wanting more personal time and attention. As a massive introvert myself, I understand the appeal. I love what becomes possible in the intimacy of a smaller space.

So I’m delighted to be opening this new chapter with Jimena, an experienced psychotherapist and psychedelic facilitator whose care and expertise I deeply value. Together, we bring everything we’ve learned into helping you feel safe, settled and ready to explore.

Every journey is still a surrender to the big cosmic mystery. We’ve got enough experience now that we trust the mystery — and know how much it matters to have good company along the way.

We’ll help you prepare your space and yourself, bringing warmth, care and practices drawn from psychotherapy, meditation and body-based work.

After we leave, you’ll need a trusted person to stay with you for the rest of the evening and overnight.

Private retreats

Time and space
to go deeper.

Some inner work needs more time and space than a single session allows. Our three-day retreat offers time to go inward and come back gently. We’ll arrange a venue in nature and nourishing meals with you.

For more integration and retreat time, choose an extended four- or five-day stay, shaped around your needs and quoted individually.

Before, during and after

More than the ceremony.

The ceremony is at the heart of your experience. The care around it helps you arrive feeling prepared, make sense of what unfolds, and carry it into everyday life.

01 / BEFORE

Preparation

Deep inner work asks for trust. Preparation is a space to begin building that trust, get to know one another and explore what’s bringing you here. We’ll make room for your intentions, hopes and questions, helping you arrive feeling grounded, informed and ready — rather than rushed.

02 / DURING

The ceremony

Grounding practices help you come into your body and the present moment. Throughout the ceremony, we offer steady presence and support, giving you the freedom to go inward at your own pace. There’s space for stillness, emotion and humour, and for your experience to unfold in its own way.

03 / AFTER

Beginning to integrate

Integration begins with time to rest, reflect and be quietly accompanied. On a private retreat, your in-person integration session is a space to begin weaving what you’ve experienced into words and practical next steps, while it’s still fresh and you’re still held by the setting.

04 / BEYOND

Continuing to integrate

Insights are only the beginning. After your experience, we meet again to look at how things are settling and support you to bring what you’ve experienced into daily life in lasting, practical ways. Together, we’ll explore what that might look like in your relationships, routines and the way you live.
