Preparation for your psychedelic journey
MENTAL PREPARATION
Educate yourself from reliable sources. Under 'recommended content' in our FAQ section, you will find educational links to prepare yourself mentally for the journey.
Ensure you have enough time to relax and process your experiences before and after the ceremony. Before your journey, take care of any work that might cause stress. Do not plan anything for after the ceremony; expect to rest for the rest of the day or evening. If you can, take an extra day off.
Set an intention for your journey: The "plant spirit" always knows what resonates best within your particular state of consciousness. It is an excellent teacher, so preparing at least one question/request is a good idea.
Trust the process: Try to let go of your expectations. While the magic mushroom doesn't always give what you expect, it will always give you what you need. For example, you may be expecting a visual 'journey,' but for you, the responses might come in the form of emotions or thoughts. Don't criticize whatever you receive from the "plant spirit"; trust the process. If others have a profound experience and you are not, don't be discouraged, and don't give up working with the plant. The "miracle" doesn't always happen the first time. You are no more or less than anyone else; everything always has its natural time and process. Each "journey" is very different; always be open.
If you are feeling insecure or afraid, there is nothing wrong with it; it is entirely natural. We will support you in any way we can to release this feeling.
Digital detox: 4-5 days before the retreat, spend enough time outdoors, avoid watching TV series, and minimize phone calls. Do not watch or read anything that would harm your subconscious. Walk, read, exercise, and try to spend time in a more harmonious environment.
PHYSICAL PREPARATION
It is essential to avoid eating meat, fatty and spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeinated drinks five days before the ceremony. Also, prevent cigarettes if possible.
6 hours before the ceremony, eat a light breakfast (e.g., porridge, rice porridge, or fruit: bananas, apples, pears...) Do not eat later. This is important because it will allow the plant to work to its full potential.
The Therapy
Before the psilocybin ceremony, we will hold a shared meditation to prepare the subconscious mind to be receptive to the experiences that trigger our inner healing processes, whether physical, emotional, or mental. Don't worry if you haven't meditated or don't meditate regularly. Feel completely free; you can even lie down comfortably if you feel like it. It is not an issue if your mind wanders off completely because your subconscious will still pick up important information.
After the meditation, you will be offered your first tea. Dosage is based on body weight and how experienced the participant is. If the individual is open to it and the "guide" recommends it, it is possible to increase the dose later. Music will play a vital role in the "journey." Sounds and vibrations strongly influence the "quality" of the journey. A crucial part of the ceremony is the healing and unblocking of energies the "guides" will help you with.
You are asked to keep silent for the first hour or two. It is crucial that you can focus inwards and that the 'journey' of others is not interrupted. If you have questions or need anything else, please talk to the ceremony masters. Feel free to do so if you feel the urge to go outside. If you want to connect with others later, give in to the feeling. If you would cry loudly or laugh, be free to do so, but if it would significantly affect the "journey" of others, please leave the room until the feeling subsides.
If you don't like to connect with other participants, feel free to say so. We always respect everyone's free will. Anyhow, during the ceremony, these processes will continuously evolve naturally. You will be in a safe environment where remarkable healing happens, and the atmosphere is happy and loving, with nothing to worry about. After the psilocybin ceremony, you will have a tasty dinner. Later on, you will enjoy a deep goodnight sleep.
The following day, you will be served a delicious smoothie for breakfast. After breakfast, you can share your experiences, and the guides will help you interpret your journey and give you some advice for your integration session. Later on, you will participate in MDMA therapy, where you will work on your emotional body, unblock traumas, integrate your experiences of your mushroom ceremony, and deeply connect with yourself and your surroundings.
MDMA elevates certain neurotransmitters, like serotonin, in the brain. When administered in controlled, regulated doses, it can enhance psychotherapy sessions for specific conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). MDMA may reduce anxiety and defensiveness in those receiving therapy, strengthening the relationship with oneself and others. It can also be valuable in healing relationship patterns.
MDMA creates feelings of well-being and happiness. It also increases oxytocin levels, a hormone important in social bonding and relationship building. People with traumas, for example, have an overactive fear response. MDMA helps suppress that and makes them able to remember things they would usually be too afraid to remember. And that lets them feel their emotions — fear, anger, sadness, grief — without feeling overwhelmed. The medicine also allows us to create an experience of safety, trust, and connection, which can be especially helpful for people who suffer from developmental trauma as a result of growing up in situations where they were neglected or abused.
