A truffle ceremony is a profound inner journey in which you explore your consciousness under guidance, with the help of psilocybin-containing truffles. During this experience, you can expect a variety of effects, ranging from feelings of pure love to physical sensations such as tingling throughout your body. Your senses may become sharper; colors appear more intense, sounds become richer, and your perception of time can change, causing everything to seem to unfold at an accelerated pace or, conversely, in slow motion.
Thoughts and logic can take a back seat during the ceremony, allowing you to gain insights intuitively. Questions you have been struggling with for years may suddenly be answered. Visual hallucinations such as unusual shapes, prisms, and distortions may occur, and synesthesia—where you can, for example, 'see' sounds or 'taste' colors—is not uncommon. Anything is possible; that is what you should expect.
Your physical and emotional state can vary; you may feel lethargic or, conversely, full of energy. Feelings of surprise, incomprehension, or even a sense of invincibility may arise. Reliving past experiences can contribute to processing trauma. Unlike ayahuasca ceremonies, vomiting rarely occurs during truffle ceremonies.
Sensitivity to psilocybin varies from person to person and depends in part on the sensitivity and number of serotonin receptors in the brain. Some people embark on a fast and deep journey, while others have a milder experience. Additionally, the degree to which you can let go of control plays a role; resistance to surrendering to the experience can affect the intensity. We aim to reduce this resistance by reassuring you and building the confidence together to embark on the journey.
If you feel stuck in your thoughts or experiences during the ceremony, trust that you will release them naturally. Our experienced guides are present to support you and can sense perfectly when you need reassurance. A combination of the above effects may occur, but your journey may also take a completely different turn.
It is advisable to approach the truffle ceremony without specific expectations, so that you are open to whatever presents itself. After two to four hours, you slowly return to the here and now, often accompanied by intense fits of laughter, sadness, conversation, or physical expressions such as dancing or yawning.
All our participants have made valuable journeys so far. Although we cannot give any guarantees regarding the specific experience you will have, the truffles will show you what you can handle or are allowed to process at this moment in your life. By adhering to our guidelines before, during, and after the truffle ceremony, you increase the chance of a beautiful journey.
During the truffle ceremonies, wearing white clothing is requested. Glasses, contact lenses, and makeup must be removed prior to the ceremony. After the inner journey, we serve fruit, something sweet, and a light meal so that you are grounded again before you stay with us or make the journey home.
For optimal preparation for the truffle ceremony, we recommend completing our intake form. Based on this, we can provide personalized advice and rule out any potential contraindications.
We look forward to guiding you on this special journey.

A truffle ceremony is a guided session in which psilocybin-containing truffles are consumed to facilitate a profound inner experience. During such a ceremony, you can expect various effects and sensations, which vary depending on the dosage, personal sensitivity, and the setting.
Enhanced sensory perceptions: Colors can appear more intense, sounds become richer, and textures feel different. This heightened perception can lead to a deeper appreciation for the environment.
Change in perception of time: Time can seem to pass faster or slower, which can contribute to a sense of timelessness or the loss of the sense of time.
Introspection and emotional insights: Many participants experience deep reflection on themselves, their lives, and relationships. This can lead to reliving memories, gaining new perspectives, and processing emotional blockages.
Visual hallucinations: With closed eyes, complex patterns, shapes, and colors can appear. Sometimes objects seem to move or breathe, contributing to the unique experience of the ceremony.
Spiritual and mystical experiences: Some participants feel a deeper connection with nature, the universe, or a higher power. This can be accompanied by feelings of unity, love, and a greater understanding of existence.
Physical sensations: Tingling, warmth, or a feeling of weightlessness may occur. Some experience the release of tension, which can manifest as trembling, crying, or laughing.
Ego blurring: At higher dosages, the sense of a separate 'self' can fade, which can be both overwhelming and liberating. This can lead to profound insights into the nature of existence and personal identity.
Confrontation with fears or shadow sides: The experience may bring up difficult emotions or memories, challenging participants to accept and integrate them. This process can contribute to personal growth and healing.
Creativity and new perspectives: Psilocybin can open the mind to new ways of thinking, which can lead to creative insights or solutions to problems someone has been struggling with for a long time.
Euphoria and bliss: Many participants experience periods of intense joy, bliss, or a sense of peace and acceptance during the ceremony.
It is important to emphasize that the experience is unique for everyone and can vary. Good preparation, a safe setting, and professional guidance, such as that provided at Triptherapie, contribute to a meaningful and safe experience.
