Ask Alice is not about chasing peak experiences. It’s about creating the right conditions for insight, integration, and embodied change.
Most people do not arrive in crisis, but at a quiet turning point. Life looks good on paper, yet something feels misaligned beneath the surface. Our work invites a movement from thinking to feeling, from control to surrender, from performance to aliveness.
We do not take shortcuts, and we do not treat psychedelic experiences as isolated events. Preparation and integration are taken seriously, with structured support before and after the retreat. Every participant completes a thorough screening process to assess medical and psychological readiness.
They can be defined as a substances that temporarily alter perception and cognition in a way that brings unconscious material into awareness. When approached responsibly, this revealing quality can become a catalyst for insight and change.
They can gently reveal the deeper layers of the unconscious mind and update the inner maps through which we see the world. By temporarily increasing neuroplasticity, they open a window in which new insights can become lived experience. With careful guidance and integration, this window can lead to lasting transformation.
Psilocybin is the active compound found in so-called magic mushrooms. It temporarily influences serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to shifts in perception, emotion, and self-awareness. Research indicates it is non-addictive and physiologically non-toxic. In our retreats, psilocybin is offered within a carefully prepared and professionally guided framework.
We help you prepare your set, the mindset and emotional foundation with which you enter the experience. By clarifying intentions, addressing fears, and strengthening psychological readiness, we create the conditions for a more stable and meaningful process.
Our process is built to keep a contained atmosphere throughout the journey. Our role is not to direct your experience, but to hold it safely, intervene when needed, and support what naturally unfolds.
Insights need time and reflection to become embodied change. Without integration, even powerful experiences can fade or feel destabilizing. Through guided support during and after the retreat, we help you translate insight into lasting change.

Angelic musician and sound holder
As a lawyer, Jelena helps people put their stories into words. Later, she discovered that her singing voice offered another way to express what people feel and need to say. As Seïra, she accompanies Ask Alice journeys with live music, weaving her voice, original songs, mantras and medicine songs with harmonium, handpan, guitar, drums, monochord, ukulele and singing bowls. Her music unfolds intuitively, moving with the inner journey of each person she accompanies. She works as a resident musician at Elaisa Energetic Wellness in Belgium, where she leads rituals and ceremonies. She has also built experience holding space through music at plant medicine retreats, breathwork sessions and other ceremonial gatherings. Her voice is unhurried and deeply calming, the kind of sound that lets people stop bracing and finally let go. It can also move into rhythm, rawness and strength. She works by attunement: sensing what the room needs and, at times, quietly moving towards someone with a song meant just for them.
