Consent is ongoing
We discuss what support may involve before it happens. Taking part in a programme is not blanket permission for touch, sharing or any particular activity.
You can ask for space, decline an invitation or change your mind.Our approach
Your pace.
Your boundaries.
Your choice.
Trauma-informed care starts with how we relate to you—not with a substance. We make space for understanding, informed decisions and support that continues beyond an experience.
What this means in practice
Safety is something
we work on together.
Trauma can leave you feeling that control has been taken away. Our approach is to support your agency, rather than ask you to surrender it.
No setting can remove every risk. Clear agreements, honest conversations and respect for your boundaries are where we begin.
No story needs to be forced
You do not need to describe every detail of what happened to begin a conversation. We explore what feels manageable, including when it is better to pause.
Intensity is not a measure of progress.Your meaning stays yours
We help you reflect without imposing an explanation. Strong feelings or images during an experience are not, on their own, evidence of a past event.
There is room for uncertainty, and no “right” experience to have.Care around the experience.
Not just during it.
A weekend is one possible part of our work together. We begin by considering what support fits your life, including therapy without psychedelics.
Understand before deciding
We discuss what brings you here, your current support and relevant health history. Screening helps us consider whether a truffle experience is appropriate—or whether another form of care would be a better next step.
Prepare, without scripting
We explore your hopes alongside your concerns, discuss possible effects and risks, and agree on boundaries. Preparation includes how to ask for help and what support and follow-up will be available.
Support, without directing
During a supported experience, our role is to be present and responsive—not to push for a breakthrough. You can decline activities or request a change in support. Once taken, a substance’s effects cannot simply be switched off.
Make room for integration
Afterwards, we reflect on what felt meaningful, confusing or difficult. Integration may focus on rest, relationships, boundaries or small everyday changes. It does not require turning every experience into a lesson.
Before booking, we clarify the preparation and follow-up arrangements, what is included and any separate costs.
Explore the weekendSometimes care means
not going ahead.
Interest in a psychedelic experience does not automatically mean it is a suitable option. Screening is a conversation about risk and readiness, not a test to pass.
We ask for honest information so we can discuss concerns responsibly. In some circumstances, further assessment by your treating clinician or a different care setting may be needed.
Get to know the therapists- Mental health and current stabilityWe consider your history, current symptoms and support. A personal or family history of psychosis, bipolar disorder or acute distress may make participation inappropriate.
- Physical health and medicationMedical conditions, pregnancy, prescribed medicines, supplements and other substance use all matter. Interactions and physical risks need individual review.
- Support when you return homeWe discuss your everyday responsibilities, trusted support and access to ongoing care—not only your availability for a weekend.
This is not an exhaustive list of risks or exclusions. Never stop or change medication to participate without advice from your prescribing clinician.
An informed choice
needs honest answers.
Understanding the limits of this work is just as important as understanding its possibilities.
What can this approach realistically offer?
It offers a process of preparation, supported reflection and integration—not a promised cure for trauma. Psychedelic research is developing, and findings from controlled clinical studies do not establish that a truffle weekend will be safe or effective for you. Experiences may be distressing or worsen symptoms, and benefits are not guaranteed.
What is the legal position in the Netherlands?
Dutch law distinguishes prohibited psilocybin-containing mushrooms from fresh sclerotia, often called “magic truffles”, which are generally sold legally. Our proposed experiences concern truffles. The legal position depends on the product and activity; legal availability is not the same as an approved medical treatment. We discuss the current framework before participation.
Can we work together without psychedelics?
Yes. Individual therapeutic support is available at €110 per hour, independently of a weekend. You do not need to be considering a psychedelic experience to start a conversation about your needs.
What should I clarify before committing?
Ask who will support you, their qualifications and scope of practice, how consent and confidentiality are handled, and what happens if you become distressed. You should also understand follow-up arrangements, the full cost and cancellation terms. If anything is unclear, take more time before deciding.
Questions are a good
place to begin.
You do not need to know whether a weekend is right for you. Tell us what you are looking for, and we can discuss the options without pressure to participate.
