The cheapest option to join a open group ceremony. A truffle ceremony with a maximum of six participants costs €650 per person, and there is a fund that allows people with a low income to pay only about €250 in some cases. To qualify for the discount, various requirements must be met, such as proof of an income lower than €30,000 gross per year and that the subsidy fund is sufficient to grant the discount. This amount for the group ceremony includes guidance, preparation, integration, food, drinks, and an overnight stay. This makes it the cheapest all-in option for those seeking a ceremony guided by a therapist.
Those who prefer to work individually can book a private session at home; this starts at €850 for trained therapists, but there are additional travel costs of €0.50 per km and no overnight stay or meals are included. If you do not have your own location, a private route in Den Bosch (De Bedding) often the best deal: there you pay €850 total for a private session including venue rental and overnight stay.
Presence of trained therapists

Conclusion
The cheapest guided psychedelic experience at Triptherapie is a group ceremony (truffle ceremony) starting from €650 pp; with a subsidy, this can drop to approximately €250 pp. For an affordable private session, it is beneficial to schedule a session at home (for trained therapists starting from €850 plus travel expenses) or as a tip to choose the De Bedding option in Den Bosch (€850 including location and overnight stay). Gijs, Reineke, Sascha, and Ronald are all academically trained therapists; they lead various group programs (see table) and charge between €850 and €950 per person for an individual session (duos €1,350–€1,500), with additional costs depending on location and travel distance.
