Before the festival, agree on clear boundaries, a simple plan, and consent: what they might take, no impulsive mixing or redosing, a code word for time out, preferred stages and triggers to avoid, and your authority to end the night if safety is at risk. Share locations for exits, first aid, chill spaces, and a […]

Should you start a psychedelic session indoors before heading to the beach?
Yes. Starting indoors is often the wiser choice because the first phase can be unpredictable. A calm room with a bathroom, shade, a place to lie down, and minimal noise helps you settle before deciding whether a beach setting feels right. If possible, pick an indoor base close to the beach so you can step […]
Is it normal to swing from shame to no shame in a high-dose truffle ceremony?
Yes, that swing from intense shame to a sense of no shame can happen in high-dose truffle ceremonies. Strong experiences often loosen habitual self-judgment for a while, which can reveal both the weight of shame and what it feels like when it drops away. For some, moving between these poles helps them notice core beliefs […]
Which is better for therapy, MDMA or 5-MAPB?
There is no universal “better” choice, but for therapy MDMA is generally the better-supported option because it has the most clinical research and a more predictable profile. 5-MAPB has far less study data, variable sourcing, and unknown long-term risks, so it is more experimental. Subjectively, many describe MDMA as pro-social and talk-friendly, while some report […]
Can I do MDMA therapy in Amsterdam?
Short answer: you cannot legally receive MDMA from a therapist or guide in Amsterdam, and possession of MDMA is illegal in the Netherlands. Reports suggest that from July 1, 2025, many providers only offer guidance and integration and cannot supply MDMA or MDMA analogs. Some may offer harm-reduction style sitting, but that does not change […]
What is the legal status of magic mushroom therapy in the Netherlands?
In the Netherlands, magic mushroom therapy is illegal. Since 2008, the sale and possession of psilocybin-containing mushrooms are prohibited, so guided sessions with mushrooms are not permitted. Magic truffles (sclerotia) are legal to buy and possess, and guided truffle sessions are allowed only as non-medical coaching. They take place outside regular mental healthcare, providers cannot […]
Does LSD raise blood pressure?
Yes. In studies with healthy volunteers, LSD usually causes a mild to moderate, temporary rise in blood pressure and heart rate, most noticeable in the first hours. Effects scale with dose. Very low doses around 10 to 20 micrograms show little to no meaningful change for most participants, while full doses around 100 to 200 […]
How often can you take psilocybin?
There is no fixed schedule for how often to take psilocybin. It depends on your goals, mindset, and how much time you give yourself to integrate. I cannot verify an exact frequency that suits everyone. For intentional, structured work, many people plan 1 to 3 sessions spread over several weeks or months so there is […]
What is a macrodose?
A macrodose is a higher dose of a psychedelic taken to produce full, noticeable effects, in contrast to microdosing, which aims for sub-perceptual effects. People often describe macrodosing experiences in levels: Level 1 mild shifts in mood and sensory depth; Level 2 brighter colors, slight visual movement, simple closed-eye patterns; Level 3 clear visual distortions […]
How can psilocybin therapy help people make healthier choices?
Psilocybin therapy may help some people make healthier choices by creating space for reflection and value clarity. In a supportive setting, people can recognize unhelpful patterns and set intentions that align better with sleep, nutrition, movement, relationships, and substance use. When insights are followed by integration work, small experiments become easier to start and maintain. […]

Many people from Belgium choose to join in the Netherlands. We host at our locations in Schiedam, Den Bosch, or Noordwijk, or at your chosen venue within Dutch borders. You can find current […]
What are the risks of combining regression therapy with psilocybin truffles?
Combining regression therapy with psilocybin truffles carries a key risk: heightened suggestibility. In that state, leading or loaded questions can seed confabulation, making it easier for false memories to form. The experience can also be emotionally overwhelming. Intense imagery and symbolism may be misread as literal memory, and strong feelings can blur the line between […]
