Micro-dosing (Truffle) Tea Ceremony with Handpan Sound Journey in Amsterdam

You are invited for a Micro-dose (Truffle) Tea Ceremony and Handpan Sound Journey, on Sunday, December 1 from 11:30-14:00. The event (in English) will happen in the cozy, sacred and private space of the famous smart shop Kokopelli, at the beautiful heart of Amsterdam overlooking the canal water. We wish to collectively step into the restorative fall season with embodied insights and integration throughout this scared ceremony. 

Tea Ceremony + Microdose + Sound Journey = synergetic combination that deepens the experience in a powerful way. We will start from a mindful Tea Ceremony to take the substance (1 gram of truffle, more or less is possible) as an ancient ritual to gradually open up the collective space and connect within yourselves, followed by a gentle and relaxing lay-down sound journey with live instruments and handpan to dive in deeper and collectively feel the effect of this healing plant medicine.

꩜ For this mindful and ancient Tea Ceremony (‘Cha Tao/Dao’ 茶道, to experience Tao/the way of nature through the tea/medicine within yourselves), your host Leila will present specially selected high-quality tea to balance the taste with the fresh truffle, and guide you through a zen meditation that cultivates mindful process and fluid flow in a harmonious atmosphere that connects us and improves our taste and senses, health and soul.

꩜ Handpan and other instrumental tunes by musician/DJ Leela will create a peaceful yet grounding atmosphere throughout and after the ceremony, taking you on an inner, meditative and sound journey. For especially those who seek to slow down your busy life and to be more present in the moments, this combination will be a mindful way to set a relaxing tune for the week ahead.

The intention of the event is not to guide you in a deep psychedelic trip but rather to micro-dose and enter the door way together. We will guide you through a mindful micro-dosing ceremony in a safe container to get a taste of how plant medicine feels like. More advice and tips will be shared for more mid/long-term micro-dosing journeys (e.g. a 6-week window), or a full high-dose truffle journey. Aftercare and integration to daily life will be shared and discussed as well in a supportive community group.
