What is a truffle session?
A truffle session is an organized activity in which psilocybin-containing truffles (scelerotia from magic mushrooms) cause a change in consciousness after ingestion. A truffle session often has a therapeutic or spiritual purpose where a tripsitter/coach/supervisor helps you achieve the goal while also ensuring safety. Other names for one truffle session are, for example, magic mushroom session or psilocybin session. This is because of the same effect.
Magic truffles are the tubers (scelerotia) of the magic mushrooms that grow in the ground when conditions are bad for the mushroom. Although magic mushrooms are illegal, truffles can be used as they have the same activation substances but in a lower concentration. Magic truffles are also called philosopher's stones because they are as hard as stone when dried.
When should you not do a truffle session?
There are a number of contraindications when it comes to the use of psychedelics. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised not to use psychedelics. Mental disorders such as borderline, schizophrenia and psychoses are very strong contraindications. It is also better not to use psychedelics if you have cardiovascular and/or blood pressure complaints. Medication like Tramadol! antidepressants, antipsychotics and blood pressure medications cannot be combined with psychedelics.
What can you use a truffle session for?
If there are no contraindications, a truffle session can help enormously to gain valuable insights. Many of these insights are used for a therapeutic purpose such as trauma processing, combating depression, addiction problems and stress-related complaints (which can also manifest themselves physically). Spirituality and personal growth are increasingly recurring themes for a truffle session. There is also a small group of people who simply want to experience the experience in a safe situation with an experienced supervisor.
Truffle therapy or truffle experience?
Would you like to experience a truffle session with therapy as a theme? In this case, preparation is important and we will give you tips to get the most out of your session 2 weeks before your truffle session. We will then advise, based on your intake + neurotransmitter test, which supplements, nutrition, exercise and homework (books, films, assignments, etc.) you can use/do/watch so that you can start the trip better and increase the effectiveness of the session. We call this approach trip therapy.
