Private truffle ceremony or group ceremony

In this article we assume that a private truffle ceremony stands for an individual truffle session. During this, you get the full attention of the therapist or tripsitter of your choice. Are you still hesitating whether you actually want to choose an individual truffle ceremony or an open truffle ceremony? We list the benefits below. Should you actually mean a closed truffle ceremony, so a private truffle ceremony with a self-assembled group? Then make use of 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 therapeutic sessions, certain individuals often feel more at ease and are able to let go more than in group sessions.

  • Complete personalisationThe ceremony can be fully personalised 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 locationFor the private sessions, the client can choose where the session will take place. This can be at their home address, a rented location or at our location.

  • In-depth therapeutic experiencesIndividual sessions can provide profound therapeutic experiences that are less easily achieved in a group setting.

  • Safety and trustA private session can provide a sense of safety and trust.

  • FlexibilityThere 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 opening ceremonies offer the opportunity to meet new like-minded people, which can create a sense of belonging.

  • A sense of securityFor some, it feels safer to take part in a group ceremony than in a private session. The presence of others actually provides peace of mind.
  • GuidanceThere are multiple facilitators present to ensure that the ceremony runs safely and in a structured manner. You can choose for yourself which facilitator you would like to connect with during the ceremony.

  • CostGroup sessions are more cost-effective than individual therapy because the costs are shared among multiple participants.

  • Sharing experiencesSharing experiences with other participants can help to better understand one's own experience and gain new insights.

  • Longer programmeAt the group truffle ceremonies, the programme is longer and more is done than just the truffle ceremony, such as breathwork.
  • Location: At truffle ceremonies, a location is used that is specially designed for the ceremonies, including art and objects.

How does a private truffle session work

A truffle session has multiple phases such as the intake, preparation, the session itself and the integration. The complete package makes a truffle session more effective than just the session with truffles itself. We have broken down the truffle session programme into four phases below.

Intake

If you want to book a private truffle session with us, there are a number of steps that need to be taken. First, you need to complete an intake form so that we can check for any contraindications and determine the best approach for your specific situation. After completing the intake form, you will receive personal advice regarding the session and the dosage that suits you best. You can then schedule an appointment using the links provided in the email containing the advice.

Preparation

During the preparation for your individual truffle session, you will use the personal advice and your chosen guide will get in touch with you. This contact is essential to ensure that you are well prepared and that any questions or concerns you have are discussed. You will receive tips on nutrition, exercise and supplements that can help improve your neurochemistry, which contributes to a positive experience during the session. In addition, you will also receive viewing, reading and listening tips to prepare yourself mentally, so that you can begin the truffle session with a clear goal and intention.

truffle session

On the day of the truffle session, the facilitator will come to you or you will come to our location. After an initial conversation in which intentions are shared, we will inform you about how the trip will unfold and how you can respond to certain things that may arise during such a session. This is followed by the ingestion of the truffles, the coming up, the peak, and the coming down. During the coming up and coming down, you will mostly be in conversation, and during the peak, we often encourage our clients to turn inwards and go on a journey. We call the peak, during which we do not guide too much, the introspection.

Integration

The integration starts in part during the conversations during the coming down phase and can be continued during a telephone integration call about a week after the session. We also offer integration days. During these days, participants have the opportunity to share their experiences and reflect on the insights they have gained. This helps to integrate the acquired knowledge and experiences into daily life, which aids in maximising the benefits of the truffle session.

Choose a tripsitter or therapist

The individual truffle ceremonies offer benefits in their own unique way that might appeal to you. If you choose an individual session and are medically fit to undergo such a truffle session, the next step is important. Choosing a guide is crucial, and a sense of trust and peace that you feel with someone plays a very major role. You can choose your guide by, for example, asking yourself whether you would prefer a male or female guide and what qualifications this person has. Their level of experience may also be important to you. Therefore, take a look at the overview below to have a preliminary glance at the therapists and tripsitters who work with us.
