Yes. La Mezquita is a cannabis social club. No appointment is necessary to visit us. You are welcome to come and speak with us directly. For more information visit our CSC page.
We ask for a €40 screening fee to begin the booking process. This covers your screening call and is the first step before confirming your place. After your screening call, you can pay the full retreat in full, or if that is inconvenient, we will accept 50% as a further deposit at that stage, with the remainder due before the retreat.
All of our retreats include a private room as standard.
Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC). From there you can take a taxi or the TRAM directly to El Campello where La Mezquita is located.
Yes. You are welcome to stay an extra night at La Mezquita for an additional charge of €45. This includes dinner, breakfast, and any extra guidance or integration support that is part of the evening. Contact us when booking to arrange this.
Yes.
La Mezquita is located near the coast, in the city of El Campello, Alicante, very close to Playa De San Juan. With the TRAM or taxi, you will be in Alicante centre in a very short time.
If you're looking for a transformative experience and you can allow yourself the days, longer retreats would be our recommendation. Our one-day psilocybin experience is powerful, however a longer group experience with integration would be our first suggestion. You can also use our retreat finder to get a personalised suggestion.
In Spain the personal consumption of all substances is decriminalised. Possession for personal use is not a criminal offence. La Mezquita operates within this legal framework.
This is sometimes possible depending on availability. Contact us before booking and we will let you know what we can arrange.
The arrival time for most of our retreats is 17:00. The only exception is the San Pedro outdoor retreat, which has an earlier start — full details are sent with your booking confirmation.
No. Please do not plan to drive yourself home after a ceremony. Arrange for someone to collect you or book the optional overnight stay.

Psychedelics are safe for most people but not everyone. The main contraindications are a personal or family history of psychosis or schizophrenia, current use of certain medications, and recent psychiatric hospitalisation. The screening process exists to work this out together. If you have any questions, please go through our screening process.
In most cases, psilocybin is effective and powerful medicine that helps people connect with themselves, their community, and nature. It can help unearth trapped traumas and locked-away emotions and give you the opportunity to work with them. It can also support spiritual wellbeing and provide new focus and direction in life.
If you are taking SSRI, SPARI, SNRI, TCA or MAOI medication, this can considerably lessen the effects of the psychedelic experience. Depending on how long you have been taking the medication, you may need at least 21 days to taper — and at least 6 weeks for fluoxetine (Prozac). This should always be done with your prescribing doctor's guidance. Raise this during your screening consultation and we will advise accordingly.
Medications that must be avoided with ayahuasca include antidepressants, antipsychotics, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and any MAOIs. If you are on any regular medication, raise this during screening — it is essential information for your safety and ours.
No. We don't recommend fasting. Come well rested, well hydrated, and having eaten normally.
Comfortable clothes for the ceremony — white if possible. Warm layers for evenings. For the San Pedro mountain walk: sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, sturdy footwear, and a refillable water bottle. In summer: mosquito repellent and swimwear.
Also bring: your passport or ID, any final payment in cash or arranged transfer, and something personal for the altar if you like — a photo, a small object, whatever feels meaningful.
Comfortable, loose clothing. White is traditional for ceremony and works well. Layers are useful — nights can be cool even in summer.
For psilocybin and San Pedro retreats, a healthy diet in the days before is recommended but there are no strict requirements. For ayahuasca there is a specific dieta: avoid alcohol, stimulants, recreational drugs, red meat, fermented foods and drinks, and any unnecessary medication for at least a few days before the ceremony. Full guidance is provided when your place is confirmed.
Yes. Private sessions and private group bookings are available. Email us at info@mezquita.life with your dates and what you have in mind and we will come back to you.
Deposits are non-refundable. If you need to change your plans we offer two alternatives, both available up to 14 days before the retreat:
Reschedule: change the date of your retreat for a rescheduling fee of 70 euros.
Transfer: gift your spot to another person for the same 70 euro fee.
