What is psiloflora?

Psiloflora is a combination of the words psilocybin or psilocinema with PassiFlora incarnata (passion flower). Psiloflora is a mix of psilocybin-containing magic truffles or mushrooms and the passion flower. The psychedelic effects are due to psilocybin and psilocin, while passionflower extends, deepens and brightens the trip with a soothing effect. The slightly MAO inhibitory effect of passion flower also ensures that other psychedelic molecules present in magic truffles can still be absorbed and active, making the experience partly different.

What is the extended psiloflora ceremony?

During the extended psiloflora ceremony we use even more consciousness-changing plants to make the experience even more special. The synergy of these flowers/plants has been carefully chosen and we can adjust based on what we deem necessary for you. The complementary ingredients give this trip a euphoric and soothing character, while the psychedelic effects are very visual. The build-up of psychedelic effects is also slow at first, allowing you to get used to the psychedelic state.

The extended psiloflora ceremony consists of several drinking moments during the first two hours of the ceremony. The first tea is soothing and very slightly psychedelic. The last tea is the psilocybin tea and we have supplemented it with vitamins and minerals. The first really good psychedelic effects only occur after two hours and last about 6 to 8 hours, while the peak lasts about 2 hours.

Who is it suitable for?

Due to the extended duration of the psychedelic effects, it is advisable to already have some experience with psychedelics. If you have no experience with psychedelics, you can still participate, but the advice is to take less of the psilocybin tea and, if desired, to take a second psilocybin tea an hour after taking it. If fear plays a major role, it is advisable to start with a low dose or medium dose truffle ceremony.

See below our advice on suitability to participate in the truffle and/or psiloflora ceremonies.

Why participate?

The reasons for participating in an extended psiloflora ceremony vary, with reducing depression, anxiety and burnout being mentioned most often. Other reasons are self-development, spirituality and curiosity. What we do know for sure is that no matter what reason is mentioned in advance, something always happens that gives the trip a therapeutic character.

The extended psiloflora ceremony is a superlative on regular truffle ceremonies and psiloflora ceremonies and offers a deepening effect of psychedelic healing powers.
