Group ceremony
€299 per person
Up to ten participants with two facilitators present throughout the day. Most people book this, and many who chose a private session afterwards say a group would have suited them just as well.

About small groupsDuo session

About duo sessionsWhat the price covers
The same list applies to all three forms.
Optional: for a private, duo or small group ceremony you can choose to have Dora Vermanen, who founded Mental Health Temple, guide it herself. That adds €400 per ceremony. The amount applies to the whole day rather than per person, so with a duo or a small group you share it.

What you are actually paying for
The truffles themselves cost very little. Anyone going purely by the substance can order it online for a fraction of this amount. That is not what you are paying for here.
You are paying for the day around it. For an intake in which someone genuinely considers whether this is wise for you, and sometimes says no. For facilitators who are present all day and who have been doing this since 2018. For a room arranged for it. And for the follow-up call, because what comes up has to go somewhere afterwards.
You are also paying for things that never appear on an invoice. The dose is matched to your age, height, weight and previous experience: not too much, but enough to genuinely get there. The music is chosen with care, alternating meditative, spiritual and earthy, because it carries your journey. And if you get cold, or too warm, someone notices and does something about it.
Why all of that makes the difference is set out on the page about risks and contraindications.
Questions about pricing
What does a psilocybin ceremony cost in the Netherlands?
At Mental Health Temple a group ceremony costs €299 per person. A private session is €599, a duo session €399 per person, and a small group from three participants €349 per person. All of them include the intake, a full day of guidance, the follow-up call and a prepared dinner.
Are there any additional costs?
Only one, and it is optional: having Dora Vermanen guide the ceremony herself adds €400 per ceremony. Beyond that the price covers the whole day. The one thing that falls outside it is an individual session afterwards, if you decide during the follow-up call that you want to continue working with what came up. We agree on that separately.
Why is a private session more expensive than a group?
A private day is arranged entirely around one person, so the same facilitators are there for you alone. In a group those costs are shared between up to ten participants.
Is a duo session cheaper per person than a private one?
Yes. A duo session is €399 per person against €599 for a solo session, because the day is shared between two people. A small group of three or more is €349 per person.
Can I choose who guides the ceremony?
For a private, duo or small group ceremony you can choose to have Dora Vermanen, who founded Mental Health Temple, guide it herself. That adds €400 per ceremony. The amount applies to the whole day rather than per person, so with a duo or a small group you share it. You select it when you send your request.
How do I pay?
Group ceremonies are booked and paid through the calendar on this website, using iDEAL, credit card or Bancontact. For a private or duo session we agree a date first and send the details afterwards.
What participants say afterwards

My second inner journey really gave me something. Where I would normally put up a wall, being introverted and used to keeping my feelings in, the ceremony gave me room to open those shutters. I came back to my core, as it were: I know who I am again. Empathetic, calm, and willing to actually show that to my girlfriend, my children and the people around me. The guidance, the music and the ritual setting made me feel safe enough to turn inward. What has stayed with me most is that the insights did not come from outside but from myself, which means I can carry them into daily life. That is exactly what makes it valuable: it does not stop when the ceremony stops. I am grateful for this experience and for the work that starts now. I would recommend it to anyone willing to look at themselves honestly.

Last weekend I did the Psi ceremony with Kelly and Sandra. A warm welcome, a pleasant room, clear explanations. I went in open and without expectations, and before long the truffles began to work and my inner journey started. It was not frightening; it brought me so many insights. I was able to let things go and there was relief, a kind of liberation. To me it feels like a new beginning. I am leaving things behind and looking at the future with confidence.

My first psilocybin ceremony. I found it really nerve-racking, but I went in without expectations. And it was truly wonderful. So much processed in a single day. Dora and Sandra were also so very kind to everyone. So much love and warmth from the moment you walk into the calm setting of the building. And a lovely meal to finish. I can genuinely recommend it to anyone and I will certainly go again. Thank you Dora and Sandra for this remarkable journey.

I did the Holy Ceremony in February, after several Psi Days and EMDR over the past years. Where my personal growth had been noticeable and my backpack had grown lighter, this ceremony needed to land. In fertile ground, I now dare to say. That last piece I could not quite reach, or did not quite dare to go to, finally arrived, with all the loving support I could have wished for. Coming home in myself. I cannot describe it any other way. Now, almost eight months later, I have got to know myself again. My real core. Before life came over it. I can only encourage and recommend that everyone give this to themselves. Being happy sounds so much easier than it is, but if you dare to take the leap it is worth every second. I am grateful for Dora's guidance, which leaves you able to put the pieces of the puzzle in the right place yourself afterwards.
