Short answer: it can be possible, but only with careful screening. With Crohn’s disease and infliximab, the key factors are disease stability, recent infections or surgeries, and your overall resilience. Evidence on psilocybin in people with Crohn’s who use TNF inhibitors is limited, so I cannot verify individual safety. There are no clinical trials confirming […]

Yes, a guided psychedelic session can sometimes help people explore shame, old emotional wounds, and self-blame. By loosening rigid thought patterns for a few hours, some report stronger access to feelings, fresh perspectives on memories, and more self-compassion. It is not a quick fix or a guarantee. It tends to work best as a process: […]

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic found in certain mushrooms and truffles. In the body it is converted to psilocin, which can temporarily shift perception, emotions, thought patterns, and the sense of time. For a straightforward introduction to its sources and background, see this overview on psilocybin. How it works: psilocin interacts with serotonin receptors, […]

Psychedelic sessions have moved from ancient ritual use to mid-20th-century lab discovery and 1960s counterculture, then into today’s careful, guided formats. The constant theme is context: intention, community, and meaning in the past, and set, setting, preparation, and integration in the present. Modern sessions aim at reflection and insight rather than spectacle. Screening, clear intentions, […]

Ego death during a truffle session is a temporary loosening of the tight identification with your usual self-story. Thoughts, roles, and defenses can feel less absolute, so you notice patterns moving through you rather than being those patterns. This can reveal learned beliefs and protective habits and help you see more clearly what is constructed […]

There is no universal psilocybin dose that guarantees both emotional processing and a spiritual experience. Responses vary widely with sensitivity, mindset, preparation, setting, and the presence of a skilled sitter or guide. Deeper, more spiritual experiences are typically associated with higher intensity, but I cannot verify a single safe or optimal amount for everyone. Legal […]

A psilocybin truffle session is a guided, intentional experience in a safe setting. From ingestion to baseline usually takes about five to six hours. Onset often starts within 20 to 45 minutes, the strongest phase is roughly 1.5 to 3 hours after intake, and then the effects gradually ease. Common experiences include richer colors and […]

Many viewers group psychedelic-related films into three uses: documentaries for context, films that spark reflection before a session, and visually rich picks for light viewing. Documentaries that map the history, science, and culture include How to Change Your Mind, Magic Medicine, Fantastic Fungi, Have a Good Trip, The Sunshine Makers, and The Last Shaman. They […]

Nerves are normal. Set a simple intention like: I allow what comes, and I will care for myself. Acceptance is a skill you practice, not a switch you flip. Use your breath as an anchor. Soften your jaw and shoulders, lengthen the exhale, and gently label what arises: here is fear, here is sadness. Try […]

Short answer: In one randomized trial, psilocybin plus cognitive behavioral therapy led to higher quit rates than nicotine patches plus the same therapy. Among 82 adult smokers, about 40 percent in the psilocybin group were smoke free at six months with biochemical verification, versus about 10 percent in the patch group, according to a randomized […]

Short answer: we do not have verified evidence that psilocybin slows human aging or extends lifespan. Current findings are preliminary and mostly come from cell work, animal studies, and small exploratory observations. Some laboratory and mouse studies suggest psilocybin or its metabolite psilocine may influence processes linked to aging, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and […]

Yes. At the moment there is a temporary offer for private psilocybin sessions at De Bedding in Den Bosch where the overnight stay is included at no extra cost. The total price remains €850 and covers use of the location plus staying the night after the session. This is convenient if you prefer not to […]
