On Saturday at 10:30 it was time for me to go to Akersloot to do my truffle ceremony. I had had an intake meeting with Rein the week before, which was really important. Having already seen Rein and the space, I felt confident to go on the journey.

When I arrived, we talked for a while and I was able to land. Then there were preparations that made the experience special: grinding the truffles and brewing the tea, burning sage to cleanse the room, and drinking cocoa to open the heart. Although I was tense and a little afraid of the unknown, the guidance quickly made me feel safe and at ease.

During the experience, I felt a deep connection with my mother and felt how I was in the womb. It was a very intense but loving experience, which provided a sense of safety, gentleness and gratitude.

Furthermore, during the trip I also experienced floundering and happy legs, as I felt as a baby. That came from a bit of my babyhood when I was in a cast because of hip dysplasia. I felt that freedom and joy of when I could move, flounder and laugh again.

Furthermore, a gentle wisdom seemed to take me past different memories and feelings, like clouds or a carousel with light and dark stories. Each time I could choose whether to go deeper into it or stay with it for a while, which gave a sense of security and control.

An overwhelming sense of gratitude came over me, for the people I love, for the connection I experience and for the richness of life as it is now. It felt like everything I need as a human being was already there: love, connection and freedom to be yourself.

This ceremony made a profound impression and shows how powerful, healing and loving a guided truffle experience can be.

Greetings,
