EXPERIENCE THE HEALING POWER OF THE BREATH
Our breath is our most essential source of life and has an immense influence on our system. It can even be applied as a tool to reach altered states of consciousness. During this Breathwork + Microdose Ceremony, we’ll practice conscious connected breathing to deeply connect with the body and attain a psychedelic state. In this temporary state, you are able to process emotions on a profound level. This allows you to release energy stored in your body, resulting in a deeply cleansing and joyfully liberating experience.
This ceremony is an immersive experience guided with a sound journey and live music, hosted by 20 breathwork coaches and co-experienced by 90 fellow breathers.

OPTIONAL PSILOCYBINE MicrodosE
To dive even deeper on this journey of inner exploration, a microdose of truffles containing natural psilocybin is optional. We will explain how it works, what the benefits are, and how it may serve you in your process of personal growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our next Breathwork + Microdose Ceremony will take place on 27 and 28 June 2024.
We will welcome you around 18:30 to settle in. The program starts at 19:00 with a sharing circle. Microdosing is optional and will be provided. After the sharing circle, we will start our circular breathing practice of approximately one hour, in which we’ll be guided by a sound journey with live music and our signature Spinoza songs. Afterward there will be plenty of time to rest and digest, to share about your experience and to integrate the effects of your journey. At 22:00 the night ends.
Conscious Connected Breathing can help bring what may be hidden in the subconscious to the surface – where it can be observed and revised. This breathing technique eliminates the pauses between our inhalation and exhalation and vice versa. Without any intermissions, our breath becomes circular. Our inhalation is intense and deep, our exhalation completely relaxed. Both the in- and out-breath proceed through the mouth. This breathing technique results in attaining an altered state of consciousness that allows you to release energy that may be stored in your body, which results in a deeply cleansing and joyfully liberating experience.
The first workshop is designed to prepare you optimally for your breathwork experience. In the Integration workshop, we’ll look back on your intention and on your experience. You can join both workshops online. They will take place on:
- Preparation workshop: Thursday, June 20th, 19:00-20:30 CEST
- Integration Workshop: Tuesday, July 2nd, 19:00-20:00 CEST
During the Preparation Workshop, we’ll dive into the benefits of breathing, the science behind it and we’ll share best practices to prepare yourself. We will also meditate together and give you a preview of the breathing technique we will be practicing. There will also be time for personal sharing and intention setting, as you will be assigned to a personal breathwork coach.
In the Integration Workshop, we’ll look back on your intention and on your experience. The Integration Workshops will be more personal, as we take the time to dive deeper into your personal experience in smaller breakout rooms via Zoom.
No experience with either of them is needed. We offer a safe space to experience their benefits, also if it is your first time.
Yes, microdosing is optional. Please feel free also to ask any of your questions during the preparation workshop, when in doubt.

"Even after a few days, I don't have words to describe what happened. 'I was present and aware, but I was also gone' sort of described it. The atmosphere was safe and beautiful."

Location
The Posthoornkerk was the first building in Amsterdam designed by the famous Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers, who went on to design Central Station, the Vondelkerk and the Rijksmuseum. The neo-Gothic interior has a magical atmosphere thanks to two galleries, one above the other, the use of different colours of brick, and the beautiful light through the stained glass windows.
You can already see the three slender spires of Posthoornkerk as you approach Amsterdam from the west by train. It’s a city centre landmark within walking distance of Central Station. As you walk along the busy Haarlemmerstraat, you come to an intimate courtyard behind elegant railings more than a century old. Step inside to be enchanted by light and architecture.
Known as the Posthoornkerk, which means ‘post horn church’, the church’s official name is actually Our Lady of Immaculate Conception.
We are looking forward to breathe with you in the Posthoornkerk.
