Take a Deep Look Inside of Yourself...
...and you will discover challenges and also a lot of diamonds.

In our sessions we love to combine the Mushroom Medicine with other medicines, such as Cacao, Sacred Shamanic Rapé Tobacco, Breathwork, Sounds and Music, Energy Work & Channeling.
What is better for me: Group or Private Journey?
1) Sacred Mushoom Medicine Circles for Groups
Group circles as opposed to private sessions offer stronger energetic field. A psychedelic ceremony is an organic phenomenon. Triggers happen within the field between participants, processes go deeper and are stronger. Group ceremonies also take longer time than private sessions. Your neighbour can for instance mirror one of your parents or caretakers for you. Thanks to that you can break free of this pattern. Cry it out or just process it to liberation. We value respect and intimacy of the field, so we won't let anyone scream or cry for too long. We navigate the emotional releases to maximum effect in short time. Contact (chit-chat) between participants is not allowed. We honour privacy & autonomy in each process. We give group ceremonies in Dutch or English language.
2) Sacred Mushoom Medicine for Individuals and Couples
Private sessions with this medicine are very intimate in terms of own personal processes. There is no distraction from other people around you. For couples the distraction is minimal as well. You can experience triggers like being deeply affraid if your beloved is doing ok, what are they experiencing, a lot of your couple dynamic can surface and looping patterns become visible. In my experience doing these journeys safely and together is one of the best therapies for couples. I work with both genders, I don't care if hetero / homo / bi. Manners matter to me during the session. In cca first half of the journey I will ask you to stay apart in your own processes, in the second half contact is possible and even desired to make connection. It all depends on your intention and the very organic way how these sessions go. All is consensual and attuned to each other's needs. So if your partner wants contact but you are not ready for it, we are going to look at this programme and those triggers in your dynamics (neediness vs. rejection, boundaries etc...). Mushrooms allow you to feel the patterns deeply, often a traumatized part surfaces and emotional release makes the healing possible. Sexual contact for couples is possible after I go home, after we agree that you guys preferre privacy. Any intimate contact with me or other members of the team is out of the question.
Plant and Mushroom Medicines are real gifts from Mother Earth in service of humanity.
They are awesome healing companions for depressions and anxiety. When used correctly with the right intention and correct ceremonial setting they help people to get unstuck in life, and are great creativity boosters. After I discovered them I started breathing, living and painting again. I love to create psychedellic art with plants, mushrooms, geometry and a lot of colours. As medicine woman I work with Mushrooms from place of infinite grattitude.
You are not alone.
The setting we create for individuals, couples and groups is safe and inviting for deep processes to take place. It allways includes an overnight stay (strict rule: no driving!), light and healthy food, full guidance, before care (intake face-to-face or a call) and after care. Continue reading for more info.
What is Mushroom Medicine great for:
If you feel stuck in life, stuck in patterns, circles, lack. If you get triggered easily, have anger outbursts, weird social behaviour, fears, spinning in your shadow, feeling that your potential is greater than this. If you are feeling empty and depressed, shrooms will show you why and help you through. They might not resolve it for you in just one session, but they will kick-ass you in the right direction and break your looping patterns for a while. That often leads to great liberation later in life. They also incredibly boost creativity and life purpose.
Short Summary of Mysical and Scientific Insights
Allways make sure to do your own research.
​
Mystical/Subjective Experience:
- Expanded Consciousness:
Psilocybin, the psychoactive compound in the medicine induces altered states of consciousness. People often report a sense of expanded awareness, interconnectedness, and a deepened understanding of self and existence.
- Ego Dissolution:
You may experience a temporary dissolution of the Ego, leading to a profound sense of unity with the Universe or a higher power. This ego dissolution allows us to perceive our challenges and emotions from a different, more objective perspective.
​
- Spiritual Insights:
Many people describe having mystical or spiritual experiences, gaining insights into the nature of existence, personal purpose, or the interconnectedness of all things. These insights are flowing towards us in the days / weeks after each journey.
Scientific/Rational Understanding:
- Neuroplasticity:
Psilocybin appears to promote neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections. This could contribute to changes in thought patterns and behaviors.
​
- Default Mode Network (DMN) Alteration:
Psilocybin has been shown to modulate the activity of the default mode network, a brain network associated with self-referential thoughts and the Ego. Changes in the DMN may play a role in the dissolution of the Ego and alterations in perception.
​
- Increased Emotional Release:
Users often report experiencing intense emotions during a psilocybin experience. This emotional release may provide an opportunity for individuals to process and integrate repressed or challenging emotions.
- Therapeutic Potential:
Research suggests that psilocybin-assisted sessions may be beneficial for various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Contraindications:
General health problems can be great indication to focus on in terms of your intention. General mental health issues (depression, anxiety, anger problems, fears, panic attacks, feeling overwhelmed,...) or non-pathological addictions are also manageable for us as team. AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT MEDICATED FOR THEM.​
