Actually, it's a mini-dose

Some time ago, I changed the dose in my truffle and yin yoga ceremonies from a microdose to a mini-dose. So what's the difference?

What is a microdose? Perspectives differ on how to define a psilocybin microdose, but generally it is seen as a dose that is just below your threshold of sensory experience. Which means that you don't have any subtle trippy feelings, no changes of visual or sensory perceptions and it should not interfere with your daily activities. What you would experience may be more subtle things, like: more patience, a peaceful focus, more sensitivity in communication, insight into inner patterns or underlying moods/feelings and their origin.

Every person's microdose differs a little, ranging on average between ,5 and 1,5 grams of fresh truffle (note: the weight is different for mushrooms and also for dried material). You can take a microdose every 2 or 3 days for several weeks to support health, wellbeing and4changes you would like to make in your inner or outer life.

From Microdosing Ceremonies... Because I used to use cacao in my ceremonies and this enhances the effects of the psilocybin truffles, I started out with cautious dosing in my Microdosing & Yin Yoga Ceremonies. I stayed on the high side of a microdose as a max. As a result, for some people the effects were clearly noticeable and for others the effects stayed more under the surface: they did not consciously feel much difference to how they normally feel. This is normal for an average microdose as people's sensitivity varies. Even when you "don't feel anything

" consciously of a microdose of truffles, its effects can still be profound as truffles work for a large part in the subconscious (enhancing neuroplasticity, neurogenisis and enabling brain parts to communicate more). This can be noticed after ceremony, for example in a subtle shifts in the way you react to triggers in your life or how you think about relationships or life events. Also the increased neuroplasticity coupled with deeper self-connection, helps to follow up on healthy habits and healthy boundaries.

...to Mini-dosing Ceremonies After offering these monthly microdosing ceremonies for over a year and guiding many deep-dive psychedelic experiences with Spinoza and The Sanctuary, I started to introduce a little more depth into the ceremonies by changing them to Mini-dosing Ceremonies. I now offer a truffle tea equal to about 4 grams. The effects are still subtle (a recreational "trip" starts at about 10-15 gram and deep-dive ceremonial dosages average around 28 grams) but now we've moved out of the range of microdosing (below the surface) and started working with mini-dosing (mildly noticeable). And I can feel the energy in our ceremonies deepen as a result.

The mini-dose during a long, guided Yin Yoga session allows for a deeper dive into our inner landscape. It opens the door for some subtle but profound transformative work. And the responses from participants have been very enthusiastic! Which shows me how ready and willing people are to go within, reconnect and open their paths. First time exploring truffles?

A Mini-dosing Ceremony is a great way to "dip your little toe" into the world of psilocybin truffles and explore if it can benefit you. The safe and sacred setting that we create allows for exploration and the mini-dose, slightly higher than a microdose, allows you to taste the benefits of the truffles for your body and mind.

Good to know: you choose your dose

During the ceremony the truffles are offered in such a way that you can decide for yourself how much you want to take. You don't have to take the whole dose. For example, if it's your first time, you can also start with half the offered dose and decide later in the ceremony if you take the rest as well. This way you have your own agency in trying the truffles, according to your own intuition and comfort.
