Low dose psilocybin
During a low dose truffle ceremony, the dose of psilocybin is on the low side. The psychedelic effects are minimal but still somewhat present. In this article you can read whether a low dose truffle ceremony is something for you.
Psilocybin from truffles
Other names for a truffle ceremony are magic mushroom ceremony or psilocybin ceremony. We use psilocybin-containing truffles during a truffle ceremony. A truffle ceremony can be used as a spiritual remedy, a new experience or as therapy. We therefore sometimes speak of magic mushroom therapy, truffle therapy or psilocybin therapy. All these terms have the truffle ceremony as their basis. Want to read more or what psilocybin does? Then use the button below.
Effects of the low dose of psilocybin
It will not surprise you that higher doses produce more psychedelic effects than lower doses. The intensity of the psychedelic journey is therefore divided into 5 trip levels. A low dose has 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 of the hemispheres of the brain changes, music will sound deeper, colors will become brighter and the environment will become more tangible. Your senses are open. During this phase one is more open and socially engaged and you begin to become open and honest with others and yourself.
Trip level 2 (Low dose)
Brighter perception of colors, visuals such as the movement and “breathing” of objects, walls, etc. With closed eyes, 2-dimensional patterns can be observed. Due to changes in short-term memory, the user experiences continuous distracting thought patterns, alternating with extreme focus. The natural filter in the brain is bypassed, which increases creativity, among other things. During this phase, cross-connections can already be discovered. Cross-connections about, for example, why certain things happen and how you can deal with them.
Who is the low-dose truffle ceremony suitable for?
We only do this low dose of the truffle ceremony with customers who want to have a psychedelic experience for the first time, but are relatively afraid of it. So only if fear plays a major role is this dosage useful to do it for the first time. For this reason, a medium dose truffle ceremony is often chosen for a beginner. See also the diagram below for our advice.
Truffle ceremony | Trip level | Duration (h) | Eligibility |
Low dose | 1-2 | 2-3 | Beginner |
Medium dose | 3-4 | 3-5 | Beginner |
High dose | 4-5 | 5-6 | Experience with psychedelics |
Heroic dose | 5 | 5-7 | More experienced |
Are you afraid of hallucinating?
If you are afraid of hallucinating, the lower dose of psilocybin is a good test of how such a session works. Another option is a combination of MDMA and truffles. The added MDMA makes for less anxiety and more surrender, which will serve the truffle session well. The combination of MDMA and truffles is called hippieflip and more information can be found via 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 advise not to make the group too large. During individual sessions it is of course permitted to have an additional acquaintance (confidant) present.
You may form your own group with preferably the people you trust most. In some cases, it is actually useful not to participate in a truffle ceremony individually. Think for example of relationship therapy or other forms of bonding problems.
Truffle ceremony in group form
We organise truffle ceremonies on a monthly basis in which you can participate. Up to five other participants can join these. We always have one professional facilitator per three participants present at these psychedelic ceremonies.
At your location or with us?
We are flexible when it comes to location as long as it is in the Netherlands. We can perform our individual and small-scale ceremonies at your home, in a hotel or rented Airbnb, where you choose who participates. In most cases, it is cheaper at your own location, you are in your own familiar place and you do not have to travel after the trip. This can contribute to inner peace during the psychedelic trip.
You can also use our space in Schiedam, which is specially equipped 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 convenient for groups of 3 people or more. If you use the Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam, you can stay overnight.
