Psychedelic therapy in Belgium
Psychedelic therapy is currently not permitted in Belgium, and we expect Belgium to remain conservative and maintain the ban for at least another few years. Meanwhile, research into the positive effects of psychedelics on the psyche continues, primarily in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Due to various reports in the Belgian media, particularly concerning magic truffles and magic mushrooms (the active ingredient is psilocybin –> psilocin), legalization in Belgium may begin sooner than expected.

Many truffle sessions and ceremonies for Belgians
Lately, there's been a lot of media attention in Belgium about the healing effects of psilocybin. Especially after Selah Sue's story, many Belgians from Belgium are coming to the Netherlands for psychedelic ceremonies, as it's illegal in Belgium. Another factor, of course, is that we have much longer experience using these psychedelic substances here in the Netherlands. We regularly hear from our clients that doctors in Belgium suggest our services "off the record" as an alternative to conventional care, which is often inadequate. In the first quarter of 2022, approximately half of our clients came from Belgium!
Most Belgian clients travel to the Netherlands in small groups of 2-4 people and use our Psychedelic Loft space in Schiedam. After the session, they spend the night in Schiedam before returning home.

Open truffle ceremony
It's also possible to participate in an open truffle ceremony. During an open truffle ceremony, the group isn't private, with a maximum of five other participants. It's important to consider what you prefer. Some clients find connecting with strangers advantageous, while others prefer more privacy and personalized attention.

Suggest a location yourself
We also meet on location within the Netherlands. So you can rent a vacation home, Airbnb, or hotel room and have your session there. This way, you can see for yourself if there's a specific location that suits you best.

Other countries
Wherever you come from, you are, of course, welcome. The languages spoken are Dutch and English. If you don't speak these languages, you can bring your own interpreter. We also recommend reserving the day after the session as a recovery day, and if this is the day of your return flight, make sure it's not too early or postpone your return flight by a day.

Do you have a spiritual or therapeutic reason for participating in a psilocybin session? Or are you curious about the effects and want a safe setting? We have extensive experience with therapeutic applications, and we offer personalized preparation to help you get the most out of the session.
