How many truffles do you get, and who decides that?

Anyone buying truffles themselves faces the choice of how much to take. That is exactly where it goes wrong for people who try this on their own. In a guided ceremony that choice is not yours, and that is not paternalism but half the story of why it runs differently.

We make sure you get a dose that is adjusted to you, to your age, your height, your weight. But also your experience.

So there is no standard portion that everyone gets. Two people on the same day can receive different amounts, and that is the intention.

• Age, height and weight. The basis, as with anything that works in your body.
• Experience. If you have done this before, it sits differently than for a first time.
• Your situation and your reason for coming. We go through those in the intake call.
• Medication and health. Some substances strengthen the effect, others dampen it, and the odd combination is one we will not do.

There is a persistent idea that a higher dose gives a deeper experience. In our practice it does not work that way. Too high a dose mainly increases the chance of being overwhelmed by what comes up, and that is exactly when it becomes harder to do anything with it.

You do not get too much, we do not go overboard, but enough that you really have a good experience.

The intake call is not only a safety check. It is also the moment at which we learn what we need to know to tune the day to you. That conversation carries no obligation, it is in English, and we do sometimes say no.

Who cannot take part and why is set out on the risks of a truffle ceremony. If you would like to put your situation to us, use the contact page or look through the upcoming dates.
