What is the Core Retreat?
The perfect entry point for psychedelic exploration — with a focus on deep transformation, facilitated by expert guides and therapists.
You’ll embark on a full six-week programme of transformation, with a five-day retreat and guided psilocybin journey at the heart of things.
The Core retreat is the right place to start if one or more of these things are true:

Save Your SpotFAQs
Have questions? Let’s dive in.
I’m nervous about doing this experience with a group. Would it be better to do it one-on-one?
We hear you. And you are so not alone.
When we survey our participants, it’s clear that the #1 thing people worry about before the retreat is the group.
But those same people go on to say that the group is also the top thing that made their time at the retreat so wonderful.
In our experience, the thing people fear is also what becomes their greatest medicine. There’s something profoundly healing about going through this experience with others by your side — witnessing and being witnessed. And the connections you create at the retreat are deep and lasting, even in a few days.
Those connections (and the group itself) also become an incredibly valuable resource and source of support during your integration phase, and you’ll keep them long after the retreat has ended.
It’s completely normal to feel some hesitation, especially if you’re at all introverted — but don’t be surprised if the group actually ends up being one of your favourite parts of the experience.
Why is the retreat so long? Do we really need so much time for integration?
The psilocybin ceremony and psychedelic experience is — of course — a huge part of the Alalaho experience, and probably the thing you’re most anticipating. But the retreat is really about so much more.
Psychedelics are just one tool of many we use to help you create change in your life. We’ve carefully designed every element of the retreat to help you go deeper, and make sure you get as much as you can from this experience.
This includes ample time for intention setting, along with time to start integrating what you’ve learned into how you live — making sure you also have lots of time to work with our onsite team of professional therapists and psychedelic guides. Plus, we have a feeling you’ll appreciate having the time to just enjoy your post-ceremony glow.
We’ve tested our process over the course of at least 100 retreats now, and we’ve found that five days is optimal for the best experience and results.
Why is there only one psilocybin ceremony?
When you go through a psychedelic ceremony, it will bring up a lot of material for you. We find that so much comes through a single ceremony, that it’s important to have time to process and integrate, before going back for another deep dive.
Also, unlike some other psychedelics, where it’s common to have multiple ceremonies in a row, your body quickly builds tolerance to psilocybin — which makes it difficult to dose even if you wanted to have further experiences.
We’ve said it before: this experience is about something much deeper than a psychedelic trip. It’s about uncovering rich material and insights that have the potential to completely transform your life.
Instead of just trying to blast you open and give you a fun time, we’re here to help you open your mind and your heart — and then make sure you take the time that you need to harvest all that gold you uncover, and really use it to make a change. By taking the time to integrate this experience fully, you’ll be able to bring those insights back down to earth, so you can make deeper, most lasting changes over time.
I’m feeling a bit nervous. How do I know if this experience is the right fit for me?
First, it’s completely normal to feel nervous. This is a big thing, and it’s normal for fears to come up along the way. It’s part of the process. You’re about to undertake an epic journey of self-discovery, and that takes courage.
There’s no way to know exactly what will happen on your psilocybin journey — it’s different for everyone. This is why it’s so important to create a safe space where people can have these experiences alongside professional therapists and guides, so we can help you process whatever comes up, and help you have the most meaningful experience.
By the time you arrive at the retreat, we’ll already have started working with you — setting intentions for your retreat, answering any questions you have, and helping make sure you feel ready. The goal is to make sure you’re safe, supported, and well held every step of the way.
We’re also here if you want to ask us any questions before you join, to get our take on whether or not this is a good fit for you right now. Just reach out.
I've already attended a psychedelic retreat at Alalaho or elsewhere. Can I still join a Core Retreat?
Absolutely! We have dozens of people who have attended the Core Retreat 2, 3… even 4 times.
The people who attend the Core Retreat come from all different backgrounds, with different levels of psychedelic experience.
The Core Retreat is designed to give everyone a meaningful experience, whether or not they’ve attended before. And because you’re different (and the group you’re with will be different) this time around, it will be a completely new experience every time — even if the overall structure stays the same.
What if I have more questions or concerns?
We’re here for you! We’d be happy to discuss any questions or concerns you might have. This is a big step, and we want you to feel completely comfortable.
Remember, the psychedelic ceremony is just a beginning, and we’re here to guide you through the bigger journey that unfolds.
