Truffle therapy experiences

“Where should I start? I know from myself that I am too much in my head and cannot easily let go of control. ... So on the day of the session, after consultation, we started with a fairly high dose, as much as 45 grams! ... So the music determined the feeling and no longer my ratio. ... Everything lost its value and everything was what it was.”

“In August of 2021, four years ago now, I participated in a truffle ceremony under the guidance of Marcel. At the time, I did so mainly with the intention of enhancing my spiritual quest or obtaining a certain enlightenment experience. ... In the truffle ceremony, there was a moment when I (or my soul) was placed by mother earth in a boat, on a peaceful rippling river. I felt secured and carried in a special way. ... Without the security I experienced there, I would not have lived through the past few years.”

“We have now done four trips with Marcel as a facilitator and highly recommend him and Triptherapie. After struggling with our relationship for years, despite couples therapy, Marcel and the psychedelic sessions really made a difference. With our scientific background, we researched it thoroughly and felt reassured by Marcel's expertise and Triptherapie's holistic, professional approach, which includes nutrition, preparation and aftercare. Under Marcel's calm and reliable guidance, we experienced several impressive trips, each of which helped us in a different way. After the last session, a ‘hippie flip’, it feels like we have finally taken an important step forward.”

I have always felt safe and well cared for; these people really want to help others with their challenges and struggles. During the sessions, I received a lot of healing and wisdom through wonderful experiences unlike anything else. Thanks to the psychedelics, I realised that I was never empty, but merely lost touch with myself - now I feel whole, happy and fulfilled inside again.”

“An exceptional experience with the best guide you could wish for. This journey changed my life in a positive way. I was stuck in trauma, sadness, fears and worries, but this mystical experience made me realise that those feelings and memories have no meaning anymore. I can see the really important things in my life again. Ronald was and is instrumental in this transformation - helping people walking this path is truly its calling. Thank you so much for that.”

Ronald became like an amazing psychonaut pilot for me, flying with me through the darkest atmospheres of my past. I am deeply grateful to him, because in so many ways he saved my life. His favourite phrase ‘Take your time. You are doing well.’ expresses exactly how he works: with patience, encouragement and presence. I felt confidence, safety and hope thanks to the whole Triptherapie team, and finally found the courage to travel all the way from Vienna to the Netherlands to find my missing pieces and explore new healing dimensions for CPTSD.”

“An extraordinary session at Ronald that touched on deep attachment issues - something I had hidden away for years. During the trip, it became apparent that my signals of insecurity were being expressed in my relationships and in my inner world. Under his calm guidance, I felt increasingly safe to descend into what was going on inside. The realisation moved me: I was not broken, on the contrary, I had never really felt connection with myself. For the first time, I experienced that true healing begins with rediscovered safety - that is where my strength lies.”

“After almost three years of severe depression, combined with comorbidities such as OCD, I decided to take a step completely outside my comfort zone: a session with psilocybin (medium dose). ... On the day of the session, I felt tension and doubt, but Ronald's calm and composed presence made me feel safe enough to go into the experience. ... When the effects started, I initially felt a huge wave of fear ... Thanks to Ronald's support, I was able to gather the courage to fully embrace the experience, confident that I would see and feel what I needed to get better. ... Instead of looking sadness, misery and fears in the eye, my subconscious pointed me mostly to my beautiful and powerful sides.”

“It is no coincidence that Ronald is one of the most in-demand therapists, even though he is not the cheapest and his schedule is almost always fully booked. Therapists like Ronald are rare. After two psilocybin sessions, I can say that this goes far beyond therapy alone. During the first session, I felt a deep calmness that turned into peace and self-confidence in the following days, and I dared to be more open and vulnerable. The second session initially brought tension, but again ended in calmness and connection, with a calmness I hardly knew as an ADHDer. Thanks to Ronald, I feel I can return to the curious, carefree little boy I once was.”

“I did a private trip therapy psilocibine last Wednesday at Sascha. It was an amazing experience! I went very deep and discovered/re-discovered a lot of things that apparently needed to come to the surface but somehow I couldn't reach. It gave me a lot of insights and it was a very beautiful, exciting and emotional experience. In the beginning we talked a bit about this being exciting, that it's okay that I feel this way and that we're going to take it slow - we took it in 3 stages so I could get used to the feeling a bit.”

“This was my second psilocybin session, and I am so glad I chose Sascha as my facilitator. My first experience was with a larger group (through another organisation), and although it was positive, the group dynamics sometimes felt confusing and distracting. This session, on the contrary, was a hugely positive experience, without anxiety or confusion. During the pre-session, I felt comfortable sharing very personal questions and concerns. I remember the session as an intensely beautiful, musical experience full of gratitude, with moments of sadness that I could actually welcome. My intentions were well addressed and I now feel more present and at peace with myself.”

“I feel much better after having this experience, despite currently living a busy life with work and sad news about a family member's health. I connect my session a fortnight ago with the Buddhist concept of ‘dharma’, as I know it from my Zen studies: the embodiment of the Buddha's teachings on the impermanence of beings, relationships, emotions and basically everything. During the trip, that dharma became tangible, visible and audible, and my wonderment about ‘birth’ deepened, even while impermanence was continuously present. This insight, which really transcends all words, helps me every day. I now have more confidence in my emotions: unpleasant feelings I can let go of more easily once I acknowledge their presence, and therefore I can also allow more joyful emotions.”

“It is difficult to describe in words what a first full psychedelic experience really means, but it is easy to describe the profound impact Sascha has had on my journey. Sascha is a wonderful human being and a true professional. From the very first moment to the end of the trip - and even beyond - she was there for me, with patience, support and warm guidance. When I was frustrated, she helped me trust the process and let go of my doubts. When I cried, she sat quietly beside me and gently held my hand. And when I was anxious, she encouraged me to embrace my fears. Thanks to her, I was able to go deeper, let go of control and surrender completely to the wisdom of the experience. I left the Loft with two great insights about what I need and how I want to live my life going forward - insights that came to me in part thanks to Sascha. I am eternally grateful to her; I could not have wished for a better facilitator.”

“With this ceremony, I not only saved my future but also healed my past. After years of struggling with trauma, anxiety and a broken relationship with my mother, I finally feel I am back on track. Suddenly, I saw my life clearly: the challenges, the blessings, my emotions and their origins. What it really means to be human, what a wonderful experience it is to be alive and how important empathy and love are. Reineke and Janneke were the best trip sitters I could imagine - they knew how to create an atmosphere where I felt 100 % safe, always seen, heard and accepted as I am.”

“I want to thank you for allowing me to have this extraordinary experience under such good conditions. I am extremely happy that I was able to work with Janneke: she really helped me in all areas and we understood each other perfectly, despite the fact that I speak quite poor English and a little Dutch. In the end, we came out with the translation system on my mobile. I had been dreaming of participating in a psilocybin session for two years, but the opportunity never really presented itself - honestly, I don't regret waiting. It was a real treasure for me, a gift from the universe. I hope that in the future I can trust everything I have discovered and experienced, so that I feel stronger and can really move forward in life the way I want to.”

“Therapy with magic truffles cannot be compared to anything else. During the session, everything I thought I had to do or be was broken down to the core, painful but liberating. I realised that I could let go of everything and that nothing needed to be done - only my true self remained. Since then, I feel kilos lighter and free to finally be truly myself. Old feelings of guilt and shame still come up, but I can now recognise and let go of them. Thank you, Janneke, for your expert guidance; I could not have done this alone.”

“Gijs is a warm and professional facilitator who fully supported me from the beginning to the end of the session. When I had doubts, he helped me trust and let go of the process, and when I was scared, he gave me peace and courage to embrace my fears. His calm presence allowed me to go deep and really let go of control. The experience was intense and overwhelming, but thanks to Gijs, I found meaning in it. I left with two great insights about what I need and how I want to continue living. I am deeply grateful to him - I could not have wished for a better facilitator.”

“Gijs's counselling was pleasant and professional; he listened, asked the right questions and held a mirror up to me at times. During the session, I encountered all my fears, sometimes so intense that it was frightening. Instead of running away from them, this time I was able to look at them and allow them. In between the difficult moments, I also felt warmth, connection and a deep sense of oneness. It was not a panacea, but it was an important turning point in my process“

“I met Reineke a few months ago while planning my first trip therapy. From the very first contact, she offered exactly the kind of support I was looking for: trip therapy embedded in conversational therapy for proper integration of the experience. Her empathy and warm presence made it easy to build trust. During the preparation and the session itself, her support exceeded all my expectations. She is extremely attentive and wise, and made me feel safe at every moment of the trip. I couldn't wish for a better trip sitter and therapist than Reineke, and am immensely grateful to her for everything she did for me.”

“The session with Reineke and the guidance around it really made a difference for me. The day after, I felt ten kilos lighter mentally, so to speak, and I became significantly less gloomy. Everything about the experience - from preparation to aftercare - felt safe and careful. The perception of time changed completely, there were physical sensations I had not known like this before, and yet there was no hangover or bad feeling. The effect is still noticeable now, weeks later, and I am beginning to have hope again. After years, I didn't feel this good in a row.”
