Private truffle ceremony or group ceremony
In this article, we'll assume that a private truffle ceremony refers to an individual truffle session. You'll receive the full attention of your chosen therapist or trip sitter. However, if you're still unsure whether to choose a private or open truffle ceremony, we'll summarize the advantages below. If you're looking for a private truffle ceremony, a private truffle ceremony with a group of your own choosing, please use the button below.
Individual truffle session
The benefits of an individual ceremony include:
Privacy and intimacyThe experience can be more private and intimate, which can contribute to a deeper personal connection. During therapy sessions, some individuals often feel more comfortable and can let go more than in group sessions.
Full personalization: The ceremony can be completely personalized based on individual needs and goals.
- Choosing a supervisor: For individual truffle sessions, you can choose your own guide, and there are more days available than for group truffle ceremonies.
- Choosing a locationFor private sessions, clients can choose their own location. This can be at their home address, a rented venue, or our location.
Profound therapeutic experiences: Individual sessions can provide profound therapeutic experiences that are less easily achieved in a group setting.
Safety and trust: A private session can provide a sense of safety and trust.
Flexibility: There is more flexibility in session length, timing and the set and setting
Open truffle ceremony
The benefits of a truffle ceremony for groups include:
- Sense of communityThe open ceremonies offer the opportunity to meet new like-minded people, which can create a sense of connection.
- Safe feelingSome people feel safer participating in a group ceremony than in a private session. The presence of others actually brings peace.
- AccompanimentSeveral facilitators will be present to ensure the ceremony proceeds safely and in a structured manner. You can choose which facilitator you'd like to connect with during the ceremony.
- CostsGroup sessions are more cost-effective than individual therapy because the costs are shared among several participants.
- Sharing experiencesSharing experiences with other participants can help you better understand your own experience and gain new insights.
- Longer program: For the truffle ceremonies for groups, the program is longer and more is done than just the truffle ceremony, such as breathwork.
- Location: Truffle ceremonies use a location specifically designed for the ceremonies, including art and objects.
How does a private truffle session work?
A truffle session has several phases, such as intake, preparation, the session itself, and integration. The complete package makes a truffle session more effective than just the truffle session itself. We've divided the truffle session process into four phases below.
Intake
If you'd like to book a private truffle session with us, there are a few steps you need to take. First, you'll need to complete an intake form so we can check for any contraindications and determine the best approach for your specific situation. After completing the intake form, you'll receive personalized advice about the session and the dosage that's best for you. You can then schedule an appointment using the links in the email with the advice.

Choose a trip sitter or therapist
Individual truffle ceremonies offer unique benefits that might appeal to you. If you choose an individual session and you can handle such a truffle session health-wise, the next step is important. Choosing a guide is important, and the sense of trust and calm you feel with someone plays a significant role. You can choose your guide by considering, for example, whether you would prefer a male or female guide and what qualifications they have. Their experience level may also be important.
