Psychedelic therapy and psilocybin retreats

Our services

Triptherapie has been a leading provider of psychedelic sessions in the Netherlands since 2018, having guided over 2,500 clients. Their offerings include both individual psychedelic therapies (private sessions) and group ceremonies (two-day retreats) using legal psychedelics. A hallmark of their approach is the holistic method: beyond the sessions themselves, each client receives comprehensive pre- and post-care, including a personal intake, preparation advice (diet, supplements, mindset), and integration afterward. Below is an overview of all services, the locations where they are available, and the therapists working there, including details about the therapies, ceremonies, and specializations of the guides.

Individual Psychedelic Therapies

Triptherapie offers one-on-one sessions (also duo sessions for two people) under professional guidance. They work exclusively with legal variants of psychedelics: psilocybin truffles, psiloflora (truffles with passionflower), and legal analogs of LSD and MDMA. The choice of substance depends on the client's needs and contraindications. Each therapy begins with a thorough intake and personal preparation. Based on the intake, the client receives tailored advice—such as diet and supplement recommendations to optimize neurochemistry—to ensure mental and physical readiness for the session. The session itself takes place in a controlled environment with an experienced trip sitter/therapist, followed by debriefing and integration to process insights sustainably. Some forms of individual trip therapy include:

• Psilocybin/Truffle Therapy: Private session with magic truffles (a legal source of psilocybin). Psilocybin is known as a versatile therapeutic tool. Triptherapie utilizes this "jack-of-all-trades" for issues such as depression, addictions, and social anxiety. With proper preparation, psilocybin can even be effective for trauma and PTSD. Depending on the need, the dosage can range from microdosing to a heroic dose for very deep experiences. Psilocybin is thus suitable for both psychological recovery and exploring creativity and spirituality.

• MDMA Therapy: Individual session with an MDMA analog (a legal variant of MDMA) primarily applied to processing trauma and PTSD. MDMA induces minimal hallucinations but strong feelings of euphoria, safety, and empathy. This creates an ideal therapeutic window: the client can discuss painful memories without fear or blockages while feeling emotionally stable and connected. Thus, an MDMA session acts as an "accelerator of exposure therapy," where trauma triggers are relived and processed in a safe, positive state.

• LSD Therapy: Individual session with an LSD analog (a legal variant that is converted into LSD in the body). An LSD trip lasts significantly longer than other psychedelic sessions; therefore, LSD therapy is especially recommended for clients who already have experience with shorter trips. The marathon-like properties of LSD can be beneficial, for example, in treating addictions or facilitating creative breakthroughs. LSD therapy is less commonly used for depression or anxiety unless specifically desired due to the prolonged introspection.

• Hippie Flip (MDMA + Psilocybin): A combination session where MDMA and psilocybin are used simultaneously. This is offered to individuals who would benefit from the deep insights of a high-dose psilocybin experience but are apprehensive about the intensity of a full trip. The addition of MDMA reduces anxiety and promotes feelings of self-love and surrender, decreasing the likelihood of a so-called "bad trip." Experience suggests that a hippie flip can facilitate emotional breakthroughs: it enhances self-compassion, love, and gratitude, while negative emotions are less prominent. This combination is thus an interesting option for clients who are nervous about a regular truffle trip but still seek profound therapeutic results.

• Wizard Flip (LSD + Psilocybin): Another combination session offered by Triptherapie is the wizard flip, where LSD and psilocybin are taken together. This mix is often chosen by clients seeking a highly visual trip experience without the extremely long peak of pure LSD. The truffles temper the duration of the LSD peak, while both substances together provide a unique synergy. Especially individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) often choose a wizard flip to combine the therapeutic benefits of both psilocybin and LSD. This session offers intense visions and insights but is more manageable in terms of duration than a pure LSD session.

• Psiloflora (Psilohuasca): Triptherapie also offers alternatives for those interested in an ayahuasca-like experience. Psiloflora is a combination of psilocybin truffles with passionflower (a mild MAO inhibitor). This is also known as psilohuasca, as the MAO inhibitor enhances and prolongs the trip, similar to a DMT/ayahuasca experience. The addition of passionflower makes the journey more spiritual in nature and longer-lasting than a regular truffle session. Due to the intensity and extended duration, Triptherapie advises psiloflora only for clients with prior psychedelic experience. This option is particularly chosen by individuals explicitly seeking deep spiritual insights comparable to ayahuasca but within the legal framework of psilocybin.

All the therapies mentioned above are always embedded in a trajectory with personal guidance. Clients first complete an extensive online intake, based on which Triptherapie assesses whether a session is safe and suitable. Upon approval, a date and a personal guide are scheduled, and the client receives tailored preparation advice (such as diet and supplement adjustments, reading tips, assignments) to ensure optimal mental and physical readiness for the session. On the day of the session, the client is accompanied by the chosen trip sitter/therapist at the desired location (at home or one of Triptherapie's locations). Immediately after the session and in the following days, the guide assists with integration, so that the experience can be sustainably transformed into positive life changes.

Group Ceremonies and Retreats

In addition to individual trajectories, Triptherapie organizes monthly group ceremonies—typically two-day retreats with overnight stays—in small groups. These ceremonies usually take place at their own location, the Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam, South Holland, and are all-inclusive (guidance, psychedelics, meals, and accommodation included). Even in group sessions, much attention is paid to personal preparation and safety: each participant must complete the intake beforehand, receives personalized preparation advice, and post-session support for integration. Themes are assigned to each ceremony, and carefully curated music is used to optimize the experience. Triptherapie maintains small groups (maximum of 5 or 6 participants) to ensure sufficient individual guidance and even moments of privacy.
