Low dose psilocybin
During a low-dose truffle ceremony, the dose of psilocybin is relatively low. The psychedelic effects are minimal, but still somewhat present. This article will help you determine whether a low-dose truffle ceremony is right for you.
Psilocybin from truffles
Other names for a truffle ceremony are mushroom ceremony or psilocybin ceremony. We use psilocybin-containing truffles during a truffle ceremony. A truffle ceremony can be used as a spiritual tool, a new experience, or as therapy. Therefore, we sometimes also refer to mushroom therapy, truffle therapy, or psilocybin therapy. All these terms are based on the truffle ceremony. Want to read more or learn what psilocybin does? Then use the button below.
Effects of low dose psilocybin
It won't surprise you that higher doses produce more psychedelic effects than lower doses. The intensity of the psychedelic journey is therefore divided into five trip levels. A low dose produces the effects of a trip with trip levels 1 and 2.
Trip level 1 (Low dose)
During trip level 1, the negative feelings of serotonin depression disappear. Because the communication between the brain hemispheres changes, music sounds deeper, colors become brighter, and the environment becomes more tangible. Your senses are open. During this phase, you are more open and socially engaged, and you begin to be open and honest with others and yourself.
Trip level 2 (Low dose)
A more vivid perception of colors, visuals such as the movement and "breathing" of objects, walls, etc. With closed eyes, two-dimensional patterns can be perceived. Due to changes in short-term memory, the user experiences continuous distracting thought patterns, alternating with extreme focus. The brain's natural filter is bypassed, which, among other things, increases creativity. During this phase, one can already begin to discover interconnections. Interconnections, for example, about why certain things happen and how to cope with them.
Who is the low-dose truffle ceremony suitable for?
We only perform this low dose of the truffle ceremony with clients who want to experience a psychedelic experience for the first time, but who are relatively anxious about it. Therefore, this dose is only useful for first-time users who experience significant anxiety. For this reason, a medium dose truffle ceremony is often chosen for beginners. See the schedule below for our recommendations.
| Truffle ceremony | Trip level | Duration (h) | Suitability |
| Low dose | 1-2 | 2-3 | Beginner |
| Medium dose | 3-4 | 3-5 | Beginner |
| High dose | 4-5 | 5-6 | Experience psychedelics |
| Heroic dose | 5 | 5-7 | More experienced |
Are you afraid of hallucinating?
If you're worried about hallucinating, the lower dose of psilocybin is a good way to see how such a session works. Another option is a combination of MDMA and truffles. The added MDMA reduces anxiety and increases surrender, which is beneficial for the truffle session. This combination of MDMA and truffles is called hippie flip, and more information can be found on the following page.
Individually or as a group
You can choose whether you want to participate in a truffle ceremony individually or as a group. For therapeutic purposes, we recommend keeping the group small. For individual sessions, it is, of course, acceptable to have an additional friend (or confidant) present.
You can form your own group, preferably with the people you trust most. In some cases, it's actually helpful not to participate in a truffle ceremony individually. Consider, for example, relationship therapy or other forms of commitment issues.
Truffle ceremony in a group
We organize monthly truffle ceremonies that you can participate in. Up to five other participants can register for these ceremonies. We always have one professional facilitator for every three participants present at these psychedelic ceremonies.
At your location or ours?
We're flexible regarding the location, as long as it's within the Netherlands. We can perform our individual, small-scale ceremonies at your home, a hotel, or a rented Airbnb, where you choose who will participate. In most cases, it's more cost-effective to have your own location, as you'll be in your own comfort zone and won't have to travel after the trip. This can contribute to inner peace during the psychedelic experience.
You can also use our space in Schiedam, which is specially designed for psychedelic sessions for self-assembled groups of up to 6 people. The Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam (near Rotterdam) can enhance the experience and is especially useful for groups of 3 or more. If you use the Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam, you can stay overnight.
