What’s a psilocybin session?
A psilocybin session is psychedelic assisted therapy session. The psilocybin causes a change of consciousness after ingestion. A psilocybin session therefore often has a therapeutic or spiritual goal in which a trip sitter/coach/guide thinks along with you to achieve the goal while also providing safety. Other names for a psilocybin session are for example mushroom session or magic truffle session. This because of the same effect.
Magic truffles are the tubers (scelerotia) of the magic mushrooms that grow in the ground when conditions are bad for the mushroom. Although magic mushrooms are illegal, truffles can be used while they have the same activation substances but in lower concentration. Magic truffles are also called philosopher’s stones because they are dried as hard as stone.
When is it better not to do a psilocybin session?
There are a number of contraindications when it comes to the use of psychedelics. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are not advised to take psychedelics. Psychological disorders such as borderline, schizophrenia and psychoses are very strong contraindications. It is also better not to use psychedelics for heart, vascular and/or blood pressure problems. Medication such as Tramadol! antidepressants, antipsychotics and blood pressure medication cannot be combined with psychedelics.
What can you use a psilocybin session for?
If there are no contraindications, a truffle session can help tremendously to gain valuable insights. Many of these insights are used for therapeutic purposes such as trauma management, depression control, addiction problems and stress-related complaints (which can also manifest physically). Spirituality and personal growth are more and more often used as the theme for a truffle session. There is also a small group of people who just want to experience the experience in a safe situation with an experienced facilitator.
Psilocybin therapy or psilocybin experience?

In this case the preparation is important and we will give you tips during 2 weeks before your truffle session to get the most out of your session.
