Your private psychedelic ceremony takes place at a location of your choosing, providing you with the flexibility to create the ideal setting for your journey. The retreat is fully customizable to your needs—whether you prefer a one-day experience, an extended day-and-night retreat, or a multi-day journey.
To ensure your journey is tailored to your specific intentions and needs, we offer a personalized intake call with your guide. During this call, we’ll delve into your aspirations, background, and what you hope to achieve. This is also an ideal opportunity for you to ask any questions or express any thoughts or concerns. Your journey is our priority, and we are committed to making it as fulfilling and transformative as possible.
Your journey begins with a one-on-one intake call with your guide, where we tailor the retreat to your specific intentions and needs. This conversation allows us to understand your aspirations, background, and goals, ensuring a customized experience. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask any questions or share any thoughts or concerns, helping us create a journey that is both fulfilling and transformative.
To make your journey as beneficial as possible, we offer a private, two-hour online preparation workshop. In this session, you’ll connect directly with your guides, learning how psychedelics work on a physiological level, and practicing meditation and breathwork tailored specifically for you. This personalized preparation equips you with the knowledge and tools to confidently embark on your psychedelic journey.
Integration is a crucial part of your journey. After your retreat, we provide a private, two-hour online integration workshop to help you process and reflect on your experience. With expert guidance, we’ll explore how to incorporate the insights gained into your daily life, ensuring that your transformation continues beyond the ceremony.
The Spinoza app provides access to our educational platform, which includes a comprehensive psychedelic Masterclass, a library of meditation techniques and breathwork practices – both in audio and video – and mesmerizing, four-hour Music Journeys – specifically composed to follow the flow of a psychedelic experience.
Your truffle ceremony is entirely tailored to your needs, with dosing personalized to your specific intentions. Whether you seek a deep dive or a more gentle experience, we consult with you to find the dose that best supports your journey. The ceremony is enriched with meditation and breathwork practices designed specifically for you, creating a solid foundation for your experience.
We understand the importance of nourishment during your retreat. Before the ceremony, we offer personalized dietary suggestions, including fasting recommendations if suitable. After the ceremony, enjoy a delicious, organic vegan meal prepared to your preferences, designed to nourish your body and soul as you begin to integrate your experience. All meals and drinks are included and customized to meet your dietary needs.
This call is a relaxed and personal conversation where we take the time to truly understand you. It’s a dedicated space where we listen to your story, explore your needs, and learn about where you are on your journey. We’re here to support your aspirations with genuine care and attention.

A psychedelic experience allows you to gently and calmly open up to thoughts and feelings that you may avoid in everyday life. You may feel a deeper connection with yourself, allowing you to address a wide range of issues. Psychedelics improve the brain’s neuroplasticity, which can be helpful in breaking thought patterns and replacing old habits with more beneficial behavior. Psychedelic journeying is most beneficial when supported by our preparation and integration workshops and the daily practices we offer in our app.
Psychedelic plants and fungi have been used in indigenous medicinal traditions for thousands of years. The scientific world has studied the benefits of psychedelic truffles since the 1950s and has repeatedly reported positive effects on behavior, cognition, spirituality and consciousness. As scientific research continues, promising results are made in neuroscience, mood and mental disorders, addiction and habit formation.
There are two main considerations when taking psychedelics: your physical and mental health and the timing in your life. If you are receiving treatment or taking medication, please consult your doctor. As for timing, trust your intuition. Do you have enough time and space in your life? Are you in a balanced and open state of mind? The tools we offer, like our Psychedelic Masterclass, are designed to help you create the optimal conditions for mind and body.
Your experience and the duration of its benefits are likely to improve when you’re well-prepared. Our Psychedelic Masterclass offers a variety of practices to create the right mindset and environment for a meaningful, insightful and safe journey. We will give you detailed practical information on dietary recommendations and help you find peace of mind through meditative practices and breathwork in the Preparation workshop and before we start the ceremony.
Psilocybin is completely safe when used responsibly in a safe environment with people you know and trust. It is a naturally occurring substance that is converted by the body into psilocin, which acts on the serotonin receptors in the brain. Psilocybin is not addictive and there are no known reports of overdoses. We do advise you to conduct your own research as well and to consult various sources of information.
Fresh truffles containing natural psilocybin are legal to buy and consume in the Netherlands. This is not the case in most parts of the world yet, but more and more countries currently have legislation under consideration to make psychedelic therapy more widely available.
In our ceremonies, we offer legal truffles containing natural psilocybin. This induces a psychedelic experience of approximately 4-6 hours. We generally offer a high dose of 21 grams of fresh truffles or more. Dosages are determined in consultation with each individual participant and based on your experience, intention, and physical and mental condition.
Our Sclerotia Psilocybe are 100% natural, unprocessed and free of additives. Do not consume if you are under 25 years of age, pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not take in combination with alcohol, drugs or medication or while driving. Please consult your doctor beforehand if you have a mental and/or medical condition. Read more in our protocol.
If you are taking medication, consult your doctor before taking any further steps. You cannot partake in our programs if you are taking any of the following medications. If you have any specific questions, we can also consult our medical expert to help you gain clarity.
(PLEASE CONSULT A DOCTOR WHEN IN DOUBT) There are a few important contra-indications, such as if you are suffering from heart problems, if you are currently dealing with mental issues, or when you are pregnant. Please make sure that you carefully check the following contra-indications:
– You have no current physical or mental health disorder;
– You have no history of psychosis or close relative with a schizophrenic disorder;
– You do not currently take any medication;
– You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
Payment in three installments is available for bookings more than 2 months ahead. You will pay a first installment upon booking of your retreat and two subsequent installments before the start of the program. Our Support team will contact you to discuss your personal payment schedule.
Openness and Understanding
Psychedelic truffles enable us to create new pathways that can transform the way we approach the challenges of life. A high dose of psilocybin-containing truffles will take you beyond visual hallucinations and into the realm of the metaphysical, allowing a different perspective on your everyday life.
We offer both Group Retreats as well as Private Retreats.
Our Psychedelic Nature Retreat is a group process with around 8-11 fellow participants. While we believe group ceremonies are really powerful, and hold deep meaning and transformation, we also recognise they may not suit everyone. If you have any uncertainties about whether this is the right choice for you, feel free to schedule an exploration call to discuss alternative options.
Our organization’s name is a tribute to the philosopher Benedict de Spinoza, who lived and worked in Amsterdam.
In his most influential work, Ethica, he places significant emphasis on the importance of reason and evidence in the pursuit of knowledge. His way of reasoning has been essential to the establishment of modern science.
Like Spinoza, we highly value scientific research and ideally base our assumptions on facts and objective observations.
To perpetually improve our method, programs and ceremonies, we have initiated several research and development programs in collaboration with the Universities of Lisbon and Buenos Aires.
