How much participants is the best for a mushroom ceremony?
The ideal number of participants for a mushroom ceremony can vary depending on the situation, intentions, and the experience level of the facilitator(s). At Triptherapie we prefer a maximum of 6 participants, that allows the group for deeper trips and still mainting the group feeling.
In general, smaller groups (3-6 participants) are often recommended for a more profound and manageable experience, especially for those new to mushroom ceremonies. We always have two guides available for our magic mushroom ceremonies with maximum 6 participants.

The optimal number of participants for a mushroom ceremony depends on your goals and experience level. At Triptherapie, we usually recommend small groups of up to 6 people, and here’s why:
Safety and personal guidance – With small groups, each participant receives more attention and care. At Triptherapie, there's always at least one experienced guide per four participants, ensuring emotional and physical safety.
Intimacy and connection – Smaller ceremonies allow for a deeper group connection without overwhelming your personal space. You’ll feel supported, yet still have the freedom to retreat into your own experience.
Custom dosing and support – In small settings, facilitators can adjust your truffle dosage and support your individual process, whether you want to go deep or prefer a gentler introduction.
Privacy and flexibility – At locations like the Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam, you can step aside into a quiet room if needed. This is harder to do in larger groups.
For first-timers, small groups or even individual sessions are best. Experienced users sometimes enjoy larger ceremonies for the community aspect, but Triptherapie’s approach remains focused on personal transformation in a secure, supportive environment.

I prefer a small group over the big groups. I need some more privacy during the beginning of the session....
