Trip therapy: Extended psiloflora ceremony

What is psiloflora?

Psiloflora is a combination of the words psilocybin or psilocinema with PassiFlora incarnata (passion flower). Psiloflora is therefore a mix of magic truffles or mushrooms containing psilocybin and the passion flower. The psychedelic effects come from psilocybin and psilocin while passion flower prolongs, deepens and brightens the trip with a soothing effect. The slightly MAO-inhibiting effect of passion flower also ensures that other psychedelic molecules, which are present in magic truffles, can still be absorbed and are active, which means that the experience is partly different.

What is the extended psiloflora ceremony?

During the extended psiloflora ceremony we use even more consciousness-altering plants to make the experience even more special. The synergy of these flowers/plants has been carefully chosen and we can adjust it based on what we deem necessary for you. The complementary ingredients ensure that this trip has a euphoric and soothing character, while the psychedelic effects are very visual. Also, the build-up of psychedelic effects is slow in the beginning, so that you can get used to the psychedelic state.

The extended psiloflora ceremony consists of several drinking moments during the first two hours of the ceremony. The first tea is soothing and very slightly psychedelic. The last tea is the psilocybin tea and we have supplemented it with vitamins and minerals. The first really good psychedelic effects only appear after two hours and last for about 6 to 8 hours while the peak lasts for about 2 hours.

Who is it suitable for?

Due to the prolonged duration of the psychedelic effects, it is advisable to already have some experience with psychedelics. If you have no experience with psychedelics, you can still participate, but then the advice is to take less of the psilocybin tea and if it is desired to take a second psilocybin tea an hour after taking it. If fear plays a major role, it is advisable to start with a low dose or medium dose truffle ceremony.

See below our advice on suitability to participate in the truffle and/or psiloflora ceremonies.

Why participate?

The reasons for participating in an extended psiloflora ceremony vary, with the reduction of depression, anxiety and burnout being said most often. Other reasons are self-development, spirituality and curiosity. What we do know for sure is that whatever reason is mentioned in advance, something always happens that gives the trip a therapeutic character.

The extended psiloflora ceremony is a superlative to regular truffle ceremonies and psiloflora ceremonies and offers a deepening effect of psychedelic healing powers.
