Magic mushroom truffles are not, as some might imagine, a separate fungus from magic mushrooms. They are, in fact, part of the same complete organism. The mushroom is simply the ‘fruiting body’ of the fungi — the bit that grows above ground and produces spores. Think of the mushroom like the rose of a rosebush (but much browner and slimier) — it’s the ‘face’ of the plant — but it’s not the whole plant. A magic mushroom truffle, or Psilocybin truffle, is actually the underground portion of the fungus, a hardened nugget of mycelium. This is called a sclerotia.  Sclerotia are actually the food reserves of a fungus, a nutrient dense clump that can help it to survive in unfavorable conditions such as flood, drought, fire or frost. 

No, not at all! Our program is carefully crafted to make sure all activities during the ceremony are beginner-friendly, so everyone can join.

As you are approaching the truffle retreat, it's beneficial to be mindful of what you allow into your mind space. Meaning what you consume, on social media, on the television, what you're reading and thinking about, and even the people you see. A good way of spending time the days before the retreat is, practicing meditation and becoming aware of what has been bothering or inspiring you lately.

The food that you consume before a psychedelic retreat can affect the quality of your experience.  The days leading to the retreat, it is good to be extra attentive that you eat healthy and nutritious meals. This helps your body and mind stay balanced and ready for the journey. We recommend a light and healthy breakfast, around 3 hours before the starting time of the ceremony, or fast completely. Avoid caffeine on the day of the retreat 

Make sure to get a solid night's sleep before the retreat. Adequate sleep prepares your mind for the adventure that is ahead and enables you to engage fully with the experience

During our ceremonies, we provide legal truffles that contain natural psilocybin, which creates a psychedelic experience that lasts for around 5 hours.  Typically, we offer a medium dose of around  10 to 15 grams of fresh truffles. it. If this dosage doesn't feel right, we can discuss which would suit you best. 

Before taking psilocybin, it's important to be aware of potential contra-indications. In the following situations, psilocybin use is not recommended:

Suicidal thoughts or attempted suicide

Schizophrenia

Psychosis (including mania)

Any dissociative disorder, including dissociative identity disorder

Scientific studies show that an ideal psilocybin experience involves taking the substance in a safe and guided setting. This safety and guidance allows you to get closer to yourself. It is also beneficial to partake in the experience with others seeking a deeper spiritual experience.
