Mushroom Journeys...

Imagine yourself embarking on a transcendent adventure, as if you're being transported to a realm beyond the ordinary.   The magic mushrooms, with their ancient wisdom, guide you through a labyrinth of vibrant colours, swirling patterns, and kaleidoscopic visuals.

As the journey unfolds, your senses become heightened, and the world around you transforms into a fantastical landscape.  The air is filled with an otherworldly music, as if the trees, flowers, and creatures are harmonizing in perfect symphony. Your consciousness expands, allowing you to access hidden dimensions and tap into the collective unconscious. You may encounter mystical beings, ancient wisdom keepers, or aspects of your own higher self, offering guidance, wisdom, and healing.  The experience is both deeply personal and universally connected, as if you're tuning into the cosmic frequency.  Time and space become fluid, and you may find yourself traversing through memories, past lives, or parallel realities.  As the journey reaches its peak, you may feel a sense of ego dissolution, as if your individual identity is merging with the universe.

This can be a profoundly liberating experience, allowing you to transcend limitations, release emotional blockages,

and reconnect with your true nature.  As the effects of the mushrooms begin to wane, you're gently returned to your physical body, feeling refreshed, renewed, and reborn.

The memories of your journey linger, offering insights, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.

Thank you for considering joining us on your guided  & supported psychedelic mushroom Journey.

 

This is not the end-all of healing, this is just one of the many steps you can climb toward healing yourself and collecting the pieces of your own puzzle.

Each Plant Medicine and each single Journey or Ceremony will bring you yet another piece. Be patient, but be resolute and keep moving forward towards your true self.

This is a life-changing event. Pay attention to what the Medicine tells you. Treat this experience with the respect it deserves, but don’t forget to enjoy it too!

 

 Mushroom Hero’s Journey Preparation Guide

~ Overview ~

The “hero’s journey” with psilocybin mushrooms can be a deeply transformative rite of passage.

Like any sacred journey, proper preparation enhances safety, clarity, and the depth of insight.

This guide provides a holistic approach to preparing your body, mind, and spirit.
 

The Journey starts once you have decided upon taking it.​

1. Clarify Your Intention 

“When the intention is clear, the path appears.”

Why are you doing this?
This question is foundational. A clear intention provides an anchor during the experience and helps guide integration afterward.

How to clarify intention:

  • Journal your reasons for the journey (healing, insight, creativity, connection to nature/spirit).

  • Write down one core intention as a simple sentence (e.g., “I open up to healing.”)

  • Set aside time the day before to meditate or reflect on this intention.

2. Trust the Prepared Setting ~

“The space holds you so you can surrender.”

Your setting will be thoughtfully prepared for you ahead of time to ensure optimal comfort, safety, and energetic harmony.

What to expect:

  • A calm, sacred environment with natural elements and soothing ambiance

  • Soft lighting, clean energy, and a curated soundtrack

  • Blankets, cushions, water, and all essentials close at hand

  • No digital or external distractions

Your role: Allow yourself to relax into the space fully. Trust that everything is in place so you can turn inward and let go.

 

3.  Support from your Guide

“To go far, go together.”

Our trusted, sober guides will be present to support you throughout the journey. Their presence is grounding, non-intrusive, and attuned to your needs.

They will:

  • Create a protective, calm presence

  • Help you feel safe if emotional or physical challenges arise

  • Respect your process without judgment or interference

 

4.  Follow a Pre-Journey Dieta (7 Days Prior)

“Clean body, clear channel.”

Beginning a dedicated 7-day dieta before your mushroom journey allows for a more profound opening of your body and mind. This purification practice, drawn from traditional plant medicine approaches, minimizes physical interference and prepares your energetic system to receive the medicine with clarity.

This Dieta, combined with the Micro-dosing will prepare your body and mind for the Journey

7-Day Dieta Guidelines:

Eliminate or avoid:

  • ❌ Alcohol, cannabis, and all recreational substances

  • ❌ Caffeine, nicotine, and other stimulants

  • ❌ Red meat, pork, dairy, fried or heavily processed foods

  • ❌ Refined sugars and artificial additives

  • ❌ Excess salt and spicy foods (in excess)

Focus on:

  • ✅ Light, clean, plant-based meals (steamed vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes)

  • ✅ Hydration: drink 2–3L of water daily; herbal teas like chamomile, peppermint, or ginger are ideal

  • ✅ Mindful eating: chew slowly and eat in silence when possible

  • ✅ Gentle movement (yoga, stretching, walks in nature)

  • ✅ Emotional hygiene: reduce social media, news, overstimulation

  • ✅ Daily self-reflection or journaling: check in with your intention and inner state

This extended dieta acts as a ceremony before the ceremony, making the journey smoother, deeper, and more integrated. If followed with sincerity, it can begin to shift your consciousness even before the medicine is taken.

 

5.  Micro-Dosing Protocol (7 Days prior)

“Think of Micro-Dosing as the appetizer before the main course”

Micro-Dosing protocol:  

  • In the morning, when you wake up, take a few minutes to breathe.

  • When taking your Micro-Dose, set an intention, either for this day, or for the Journey. It can be the same intention for 7 days or a different one daily.

Why Micro-Dosing? Micro-Dosing will familiarize your brain with the signature of the Mushroom and will ease your glide into your Journey during the Ceremony. It will reduce the resistance reflex of your body to the Medicine.

 

6.  Fasting and Grounding on the Day of the Journey

“The emptier you are, the more you can receive.”

Fasting protocol:

  • Night Before: Finish a light, plant-based dinner by 7–8pm.

  • Day of Journey: Fast for at least 6–12 hours prior. No solid food; drink only water or herbal teas.

  • A pinch of Himalayan salt in water can help maintain balance.

Why Fast? Fasting lightens the body, reduces nausea, and sharpens perception.

Additional morning practices:

  • Light movement or yoga

  • Gentle breathwork (e.g., 4-7-8 or box breathing)

  • 10–20 minutes of silent meditation

  • Reaffirm your intention (speak it aloud or write it down)

 

 Bonus Tips

 

  • Dosage Guidance: Higher (“heroic”) doses require deep commitment and respect. You will be given 5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms for your Journey

  • Timing: This is an overnight ceremony. Start your dieta 7 days beforehand. Plan for 6–8 hours of uninterrupted time for the journey, with a light collation of home-made vegetable soup and bread and a gentle rest afterward. You will be allowed to leave after 07:00 the morning after.

  • Let Go of Control: Trust the intelligence of the mushroom. Release expectations and allow the journey to unfold naturally.​

 

7.  After the Journey: the Integration

This is a crucial step in your Journey.

Most people get swept back into their pre-journey life and rush and lose out on the benefits of this unique experience.

Take the time to pause, breathe and let the learnings from the Plant Medicine wash over you.

Do not rush into major life changes straight after your Journey.

Take time to absorb it all.

Use these simple steps to stay in the Journey and assimilate all the downloads you received:

  • Journal any insights, emotions, or symbols that came through

  • Rest, hydrate, and nourish your body

  • Share with your guide.

  • We offer free open-ended Integration for as long as you need. Use it.

  • Reflect on how to weave your experience into your daily life

 

 

The Hero Journey is not for everyone.

It takes courage, hence the name Hero Journey.

Some Journeys are very challenging and strangely beautiful at the same time.

Some Journeys are just blissful.

No one can understand what you just went through, apart from your guide, who witnessed you during it.

You went through it, take all the time you need to let it seep through you.

 

Thank you for taking care of yourself.

Microdosing_psychedelic_mushrooms.jpg

Microdosing

Microdosing is the practice of taking daily an infinitesimal dose of psychedelic mushrooms (or other Plant Medicine).

These micro-doses work on a subconscious level, they don't hamper any of your faculties or abilities, and they have shown tremendous results in scientific studies when it come to treating Depression, Anxiety, ADHD and PTSD. They have also shown positive effects on Creativity, Focus, Calmness, Productivity and help many people to sleep better at night. 

Intro Journey

The Intro Journey is the first step before the Hero Journey. It is a medium dose (around 2,5 gr) of psilocybin mushrooms that will take you on a gentle journey within yourself. It is recommended for people not feeling ready for the Hero Journey yet.

Hero Journey

This Journey is called the Hero Journey because it takes courage to undertake. This Journey, deep within yourself, will reveal answers to questions you didn't know how to ask. This is an expedition within your own mind. Not for the faint-hearted, this will blow your mind and change your life.
There is a process before the Journey, the Journey itself and an open-ended integration period afterwards.
