Group ceremony in the Netherlands
Guided psilocybin ceremony near Amsterdam
A full day with legal psilocybin truffles, a maximum of ten participants and two facilitators at our location in Vijfhuizen.
A psilocybin ceremony is more than taking truffles. The setting, screening, people around you and the way the day closes all shape the experience.
Mental Health Temple has guided psilocybin ceremonies since 2018. Approximately 1,500 participants have taken part under guidance. We use legal psilocybin truffles, also known as sclerotia.
This is not a medical treatment and MHT is not a research institution. We do not promise relief from symptoms or a specific personal result. The intake helps us assess whether the ceremony appears appropriate, but it cannot remove all risk.

When it becomes difficult
A difficult experience is possible
MHT uses “bad trip” as a broad term for a difficult experience that may involve fear, panic, grief or confusion. A difficult emotion is not automatically something that must be stopped. Facilitators first allow space for your process while observing whether you can move through it yourself.
If you remain stuck in a repetitive thought or emotional loop, a facilitator may use questions and other guidance techniques to help bring movement back into the experience. Even with preparation and guidance, an unpleasant experience or symptoms afterwards cannot be ruled out.
