Mini-dosing Ceremony

In this ceremony you will be able to experience a very small dose of psilocybin truffles together with ceremonial cacao. We combine the plant medicine with breath work, deep yin poses, gentle movement, live music and mantra singing. In this safe and sacred setting you can experience how the psilocybin truffles can help you journey deeper into yourself, open up your path and embody your true nature.

After the ceremony there will be some organic vegan food and warm tea for grounding before you go home.

About mini-dosing

We are working with a mini-dose, which is a little higher than a microdose of psilocybin. The dose is served in a way that you have your own agency to take as much or as little of the truffles as you want in the moment.

The sensitivity to psilocybin is different for every body. The beautiful thing about psilocybin is that its effects are tailor-made to what you need: you can trust that whatever comes, is what is most beneficial to your growth and health at that time. That means that some people will be able to dive into a subtle psychedelic journey within, while others will experience only mild physical sensations.

Psilocybin is very safe. There is no toxicity, no harm to the body and no possibility for overdosing. However, there are some cases when taking psilocybin is advised against: see below at “contra-indications”.

Psilocybin as a teacher

Psilocybin truffles are plant medicine “teachers”, which is very different from a recreational drug. One of its effects is that it makes you feel more consciously what is already present. Any journey with plant medicine can bring both beautiful experiences and challenging moments. This is why a ceremony is an appropriate setting for psilocybin as there is loving guidance and music to support you to navigate your inner world in both the beautiful and challenging parts. This way you are more likely to take true value from the experience.
