3-day Ceremony Retreat
Together with artist and poet Sven Signe den Hartogh, I am currently creating a 3-day ceremony retreat for deep inner contemplation. The retreat will include a high-dose truffle ceremony, breathwork, yoga, meditation and silence. We intend to offer this retreat in May 2026.
If you are interested in more info, we will send you an email as soon as we have planned the dates:
Mini-dosing & Yin Yoga
In this ceremony you will be able to experience a very small, but noticeable dose of psilocybin truffles together with ceremonial cacao. We combine the plant medicine with breath work, deep yin poses, gentle movement, live music and mantra singing.

Spinoza Retreat
This truffle ceremony takes place during a 24-hour retreat at the edge of a lush forest. It's a psychedelic ceremony with immersive live music in our cozy yurt. Based on your preferences and intention, you’ll receive a moderate to high dose of truffles containing natural psilocybin, allowing you to access deeper levels of consciousness. Together with the team of Spinoza we take care of every detail, so you can comfortably turn your attention inward.
