Extended psiloflora ceremony

The Extended psiloflora ceremony

The king of all psilocybin ceremonies! The extended psiloflora ceremony is more than just a psychedelic ceremony. It offers multiple healing flowers and plants that works well together with psilocybin mushrooms or magic truffles.

What’s psiloflora?

Psiloflora is a combination of the words psilocybin or psilocin with Passiflora incarnata (passion flower). Psiloflora is a mix of psilocybin containing magic truffles or mushrooms and the passion flower. The psychedelic effects are due to psilocybin and psilocin while passion flower trip prolongs, deepens and brightens it 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, making the experience partly different.

What is the extended psiloflora ceremony?

During the extended psiloflora ceremony we use even more
consciousness-changing plants to make the experience even more special.
The synergy of these flowers/plants is carefully chosen and can be
adjusted based on what we deem necessary for you. The complementary
ingredients give them trip 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 start after two hours and last for about 6 to 8
hours while the peak lasts about 2 hours.

For whom is it suitable?

Because of the prolonged duration of psychedelic effects, it is
advisable to have some experience with psychedelics. If you don’t have
any experience with psychedelics you can still participate but then it
is advisable to take less of the psilocybin tea and if it is desired to
take a second psilocybin tea one hour after taking it. If anxiety plays a
big role then it is advisable to start with a low dose or medium dose
truffle ceremony.

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

Why participate?

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

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