Magic Yurt Ceremony
3 day retreat in a yurt, exploring your inner world in a safe setting with magic truffles
May 3, 4, 5
Location is in Culemborg (near Utrecht)
The perfect place to reach deep inside yourself
Join us to discover some Magic at a beautiful location in Culemborg near Utrecht. This is a unique chance to prepare yourself for the summer.
In a cozy atmosphere, with a small group, you will experience a journey inwards in a ceremony with psilocybin-containing-truffles.
The retreat starts on Friday afternoon and ends on Sunday midday. The programme includes personal (and group) preparation and integration calls.
The truffle ceremony will take place in a traditional yurt and you will be sleeping in warm, cosy and newly renovated accommodation (shared two persons rooms) on the premises.
Truffle ceremony
Psilocybin truffles (which can be legally consumed in the Netherlands) have been used for centuries in shamanic ceremonies for transformative inner journeys. The active substance of the Truffles is Psilocybin. This substance allows your senses to enter an expanded state of consciousness, which allows your ego to take a step back.
Psilocybin creates new neurological connections in the brain, which let you experience a deeper connection with yourself and everything around you and show more clarity in your possibilities and your path.
During the ceremony we create a safe space so you can let go, feel emotions, experience insights and/or solve blockages. All this in a transformative journey.

Support before and after
Preparation
It is important to prepare yourself before a truffle ceremony to ensure the most optimal experience. In our 45 minute 1:1 preparation call we explain what you can expect, how you can best prepare yourself (food, intention setting, mental preparation) and answer any question you might have.
There will also be a group preparation call of 1 hour.
Integration
Integration is just as important, to help you reflect on the experience and integrate what happened. Integration is the process of understanding the insights that you have gained through psychedelic experiences and applying them in a lasting way to your life. With integration, we take the pieces of your experience and bring them together in a way that makes sense and that can produce a permanent change in perceptions or behaviour.
We will book an individual integration call with each of you (45 minutes) and will also organise a group integration call of 1 hour.
These preparation and integration calls will take place with your designated facilitator; Magda, Mirjam or Xavier, all three are experienced coaches and psychonauts (people who have ample experience with altered states of consciousness).
When you need more support after the ceremony, you can always book additional sessions with your facilitator/coach.
Part of a group
In this ceremony you will be part of a group. You will have your own individual inward journey (lying on your own mattress), but we will sit in a sharing circle to prepare for and to close the ceremony.
Participating in group ceremonies increases psychological wellbeing, social connectedness and more positive mental health outcomes. This impact is not limited to the ceremony itself, but appears to lead to benefits that last well beyond the retreat - from recent research (2021) from the Centre of Psychedelic Research at Imperial College in London.
The research shows that the effect of the group setting increases the positive outcomes of a psychedelic journey even more as compared to an individual setting.

Words can’t describe this wondeful retreat. And maybe that’s a good thing or I would totally fill the entire internet writing about this. But I’ll give it a go anyway... The love and dedication that Magda, Mirjam and Xavier put into the entire experience is almost tangible, from the very first moment to the last. With warmth, knowledge, experience and humor they create a safe and loving environment in which it was possible for me to totally let go and dive into whatever came up during my trip. They have set all the parameters to create a group energy that lifts up the experience to an even higher level. I never considered myself having a great talent for letting go, or for navigating in groups. But... I did it and I loved it. The retreat takes place at a perfect location: the setting feels secluded yet safe. Spacious and intimate at the same time. Magda, Mirjam and Xavier take care of everything during, and before and after the magic ceremony. ‘Mundane’ things like the delicious food they served us are also given great attention. As for the trip itself, the experience is highly individual I guess. So I can’t hint on any plot spoilers. All I can say is that it gave me so, so much. More and in a different way maybe than I was expecting. I left the retreat feeling grateful and positive. with valuable new insights. It's like I have been on a relaxing holiday for six weeks exploring an amazing new continent. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone considering attending it. Please do! This was the best gift I could have given myself. Beforehand I couldn't have imagined how fundamental it was and is. Thank you a million Magda, Mirjam and Xavier. You are amazing.

This is regarding my recent retreat with Magda, Mirjam and Xavier. I want to thank you so much, for the all love and care that was given. I felt completely safe and protected during the whole ceremony. The accommodation was just fantastic, and food was so organic, fresh and delicious that I could still feel it's freshness. There is no regrets or complaints from everything we received, was more than amazing. I had a beautiful journey during my ceremony. I just can't express in words, all my questions got answered. I now feel more connected to myself and the Divine in me. The way program was designed helped me navigate through every situation I faced during my journey very effectively. I am so grateful to you, I had once in a lifetime experience I cannot forget. Still trying to process everything. But it was very beautiful and I now know what I am and what is my purpose. It's just done. I got the clarity. Thank you so much. May you guide many more beautiful souls who feel lost in their journey.

What a wonderful weekend with 5 other fellow travelers and 3 guides Magda, Xavier and Mirjam! Most of us were strangers beforehand but left as friends. That was thanks to the caring and thoughtful way the weekend had been planned - all designed to give us participants a sense of security and support for our journeys. The yurt on a farm provided a tranquil setting and, although immersed in our individual trips, the shared experience - being able to discuss our anticipation and concerns beforehand and then discuss and compare journeys afterwards - really added to the process. All in all I highly recommend both the experience and our 3 knowledgeable and professional guides.

The Magic Yurt is well... magical. At the core of the experience are the amazing guides: Mirjam, Magda and Xavier, who with great care, open hearts and love support you throughout the entire experience from onboarding, through your journey to integration. The facilities and location in a mystical apple and pear orchard are ideal to experience a deeper connection with yourself, nature and those on the journey with you. The set and setting are customized to ensure a beautiful, safe and harmonious spiritual experience. And the food is delicious and nutritious. All of which made my experience unforgettable and life changing. I highly recommend the Magic Yurt to anyone looking to heal, explore and deepen their connection to themselves and the Universe.

The Magic Yurt Ceremony with Magda and Mirjam was my second foray into psychedelics. Magda and Mirjam immediately put me at ease with their combined experience and obvious passion for psychedelics. Care and attention was put into everything, from the calls prior to the retreat, the beautiful setting, the truffles, the food (thanks Mirjam!) and the extensive follow-up in the days after the ceremony. Whether you have previous experience with psilocybin or if this is your first trip, Magda and Mirjam are a safe pair of hands. I'm so grateful for my experience and have a feeling I'll be back!"
