The process of the truffle ceremony
What happens on the day of your truffle ceremony?
Participating in a truffle ceremony is an extraordinary experience, often described as a journey into your deepest self. This process is not only a spiritual quest, but also a physical, emotional and mental transformation.
It is important to understand what to expect during the ceremony so that you can be fully prepared and open to what presents itself.
During a truffle ceremony, our participants take a profound inner journey. Magic truffles contain the active ingredient psilocybin, which alters perception and provides access to the inner world. This can lead to insights into traumas, patterns and emotions that are often unconsciously present in daily life.
During the ceremony, our experienced facilitators guide participants in a safe environment, where there is room for emotional healing and release of blockages. The first effects usually begin after 10 to 15 minutes, after which a profound sense of oneness can emerge.
A truffle ceremony is a powerful tool for personal development, allowing participants to better understand themselves and grow on a spiritual and emotional level. Afterwards, the experience is integrated so that insights from the journey can be carried into daily life.
1. Arrival and introduction
The ceremony begins before you are even in the ceremony room. The energy you bring into the space, your intention and the mindset you have set will set the tone of the experience. When you arrive, you are welcomed by the facilitators (and any other participants if you have chosen a group ceremony), which immediately creates a sense of community and support. You are invited to relax and prepare for what is to come.
A brief introduction follows in which the facilitator(s) explain the program and ceremony in detail. They explain the goals of the ceremony, how truffles work and how best to approach the process.
This is also the time to ask questions or express concerns so that you feel comfortable before the ceremony begins. The facilitators provide a safe space centered on respect, care and love so that you can surrender yourself to the experience.
2. Preparing the truffle tea
After you have prepared, the time comes to prepare the truffles. The amount of truffles you receive is tailored to your personal needs and experience. For some this is a normal dose, others have chosen the high dose. The counselors will help you prepare the tea.
You do this yourself to get connected to the truffles already and because in the Netherlands we are only allowed to serve fresh truffles. We, nor anyone else, may process the truffles into a drink, chocolate or anything else.
The effect of the truffles usually begins after 10 to 15 minutes, although this can vary from person to person. During this time, you are guided into a quiet, peaceful environment where you can relax and completely surrender to the experience.
It is important not to worry about when the effects will begin, as the guidance will ensure that you can safely go through the process.
3. Meditation
During the Program for Transformation, guided meditation plays a crucial role. This meditation helps clients calm down, connect with their inner world and better integrate the insights from the ceremony. Meditation promotes awareness and gives space to emotions without becoming overwhelmed.
By becoming still and turning inward, clarity about the question for help arises and the ability to let go of old patterns grows. The guided meditation provides a safe and soothing environment in which clients connect with themselves and deepen their process of transformation. A moment of pure self-care and reflection.
The ceremony leader (-star) will give a guided meditation so that you can sink even further from your head to your body. In fact, total relaxation prior to the ceremony is desirable in order to make the inner journey as relaxed as possible.

4. The beginning of the inner journey
As the effects of the truffles begin to kick in, you will find that your perception of time, space and yourself changes. This is when you begin your inner journey, where the boundaries of your ego blur and you gain access to deeper layers of your consciousness.
Some experience visual hallucinations; others may experience a deep emotional surge or a sense of connection with everything around them.
It is quite normal to experience a range of feelings and thoughts, from joy to sadness, from confusion to deep clarity. The truffles can help you notice old, unconscious beliefs and blockages that you may have carried with you for years. These insights can be painful, but are often the beginning of healing and transformation.
5. Integration and self-reflection
As the truffles continue their effects, you may be challenged in various ways to understand yourself better. This may be through visual images, physical sensations, or through thoughts that surface. It is important to note that these experiences are temporary and often lead to insights that are valuable for your personal growth.
Some participants experience a deep connection with nature, the universe, or other people. Others go through a process of intense emotional release. Whatever happens, the key is to not resist what presents itself, but to embrace it and let it happen. The guidance during the ceremony is there to support you through these experiences.
After the ceremony, there is time to discuss anything you want to talk about. Sharing helps and our therapists and psychologists can give you advice and are a listening ear. Without judgment, they will hear anything you want to share. Our counselors also ask deeper questions to help you see through the insights from the journey.
This gives you the space to integrate your deeper insights and feel through your emotions. This process of integration is essential to the healing and transformation you are going through.
6. The end of the ceremony and reflection
After several hours, the ceremony reaches its natural conclusion. It is common for the effects of the truffles to slowly fade, but it may take a while before you feel completely back to “normal. As the ceremony nears its end, there is a valuable time for reflection as it helps you understand and process the insights gained.
Sharing your experiences with others can be therapeutic because it helps you organize and understand your feelings and thoughts.
Often you see that others have had similar experiences, which strengthens the sense of connection and facilitates the process of transformation.
The facilitators provide space for this reflection, while also giving guidance on how to integrate these insights into your daily life.
After eating some fruit, soup and bread, you will return home when you are completely sober.
7. Aftercare and integration after the ceremony
Although the ceremony officially ends, the work does not stop there. Integration is an important part of the process and one of the main reasons Truffle-ceremony.com offers the Program for Transformation.
