In the bustling chaos of modern life, where screens dominate our attention and concrete jungles stretch as far as the eye can see, many people yearn for a deeper connection with nature. One intriguing and increasingly discussed path to this reconnection is through the use of psilocybin truffles. These natural, psychedelic wonders have been revered for their transformative experiences, often described as a bridge to a more profound relationship with the natural world.

How psilocybin truffles can help you to reconnect with the natural world. How to built a solid relationship with nature.

Magic mushrooms or magic truffles are so called entheogens. These are plants with psychoactive substances and are used in spiritual contexts.

Psychedelic Science ~ So many people shared their success stories with each other and in the media, science became (again) interested in psychedelics. All over the world, openings were given to resume scientific research that had been halted for 20 years. The first results appeared very positive, but were mainly related to the elimination of depression, cluster headache or fear of death in terminal patients.
In the meantime, we are already a few years further and dozens of other studies have been done, the results are still very positive and hopeful. You improve your relationships and self-care with it, become more creative and you may also find your life purpose, the scientists conclude.

At the moment we are collaborating with 2 separate studies and as a participant of our psychedelic retreats, you can choose to join in as well.

1) University Collage London (study started in 2022)

2) Amsterdam University Collage ( study started in 2024)

Het zal niemand ontgaan zijn dat we tegen de grenzen van onze ecologische veerkracht zijn aangelopen, waardoor het noodzakelijk is dat het bewustzijn van mensen in rap tempo verschuift. We hebben een cultuuromslag nodig. Wij geloven dat ware verandering alleen van binnenuit kan komen, je moet het voelen. Wij gebruiken daarom natuur-kunst als middel om mensen in hun hart te raken om zelf bij te dragen aan praktische oplossingen voor dringende, globale vraagstukken.

The place arose from the search for freedom and meaning and the need for a radically different way of life.

OFFICIELE OPENING NATUURTEMPEL
2012-2023 THE BUILDING OF THE NATURE TEMPLE
OMG what a journey!! If someone would have asked us if we would would like to spend the coming 11 years building the new Temple after the old maloca burned down, we would have said no,... for sure. Lucky things are not always known on forehand. It was the process that made us stronger by testing our motivations. In the end, it made us who we are today. Very grounded spiritual pathfinders, pioneers in the uncharted waters.

And how beautiful it has become. Even our wildest dreams cannot compare with the looks and feels of the place. We builded the Nature Temple listening, not forcing our plans into the structure, but taking it step by step, trusting the process would unravel itself.

In the summer of 2023, almost 11 years after the big fire destroyed our old ceremonial maloca, we finish the last chores. While the maintenance is of course already in full process and many, many ceremonies have taken place there already,.. we feel we cannot let this moment pass without a celebration.

ODE TO THE TEMPLE BUILDERS
Have you been one of the 250 Temple builders that spent time, sweat, materials or other donations to make this dream come true? Than we want to spend this special celebration of the completion of the work in your presence. This day is not for people who've came to volunteer in general chores, but only for people who helped creating the Nature Temple. Also if you did a financial donation or you've donated materials you can register for this event.

Temple builders can subscribe to THIS MAILING LIST: https://forms.gle/3uMf47GAU1L9qyPz7

OFFICIAL OPENING NATURE TEMPLE
Of course the Nature Temple is in use for many years already, but we want to create this opportunity to thank those who've helped us building this place.

July 21 2024 from 16-22 hours

The centre has facilitated ceremonies for thousands of people since 2006, collaborating with keepers of ancestral knowledge. We have integrated several shamanic plant traditions and blended it with our own European roots. We have used this experience to finetune an authentic balance between indigenous traditions, modern Western culture and scientific knowledge. This gives our organisation a strong foundation of professional standards, safety protocols and ethics. The cornerstone of our retreats is an incredible transdisciplinary team of highly skilled and experienced facilitators who are there to support. We are dedicated to provide our guests the opportunity to benefit from the psilocybin’s potential to catalyse a life changing experience.

Through life, with or without the use of psychedelics, an person is likely to encounter realizations and insights and potentially face challenges. A good psychedelic coach will help you prepare well for the experience and offers you clear guidance during the integration afterwards.

We asked Pascal van Rees a few questions about the breathwork sessions he offers during the retreats in the Nature Temple.

How did you come into contact with breathing techniques?

About 6 years ago i was invited to join a breath-work session and after the tears, i felt peace and extra space. This was so profound i started doing this more often
and started joining workshops/studies in various techniques. About two years ago i also followed a certified prana-yama program because i wanted to learn about
the basics of breath-work

What kind of breath-work do you offer during the retreats?

During the retreats i use a mix of strong dmt activating breathing, slow deep belly awareness breathing, hearth coherence breathing and conscious connected breathing.

What effect do such sessions have on the body and mind?

In general you become a much more centered/ stabilized and healthy person, physically, emotionally and mentally. Reduces stress and anxiety. Increases
oxygen supply to the brain, promoting mental clarity.

How does this help you during a mushroom ceremony?

It provides the participants with extra tools to use during the ceremony, especially when emotions come to the surface. It opens/clears blockages, offers
grounding and helps to stabilize emotions. It can deepen your connection with the mushroom medicine.

Can you also use these techniques during your integration process?

Yes definitely, and in various ways:
When we do some breath practices during the day, we create a conscious moment, a moment to feel and be aware. This way we train our 'consciousness'
muscle and become more conscious of our inner world. - For this we can use some slow and deep breathing, remember to breath deep into your belly/pelvic area.
Sometimes we gain new insights during the mushroom ceremony and want to integrate them in our daily life. This sometimes isn't easy and brings up
certain emotions; fear, doubt, failure, anxiety, restlessness. The techniques can help us bring up insights, clarity and peace, which empowers and motivates
us during integration.
- For this we can use the deep connected breating pattern as learned during the workshop.
Another powerful breathing practice is the 'Hearth Focused Breathing' sequence, which brings our focus to our heart area and creates coherence.“Coherence is t
he state when the heart, mind and emotions are in energetic alignment and cooperation.” We achieve this by slowly breathing in and out for 5 to 6 seconds
and imagine we breathe in and out through our hearth. Very beneficial since our heart remembers the ceremony!!!

What do you often hear afterwards from participants about this combination?

Many times people are blown away by the profound deep releases they experience, it definitely supports them to go through deep processes and ground them. In fact i would recommend these practices before, during and after a ceremony!

The breathwork is an integrated in our 3 and 5 day mushroom retreats. Here you can find more information and booking options for these events: https://www.magicmushroomceremony.com/magic-mushroom-events

Lidie Voorend created this beautiful painting of the Nature Temple and the white dragon. We are so very pleased to have it in our midst, that we took it to a professional who digitalized the painting. We made little prints from it which we sell at cost price to people who hold a special place in their hearts for this place.
A big thank you to Lidie who finished this big artwork within a few months. She was very easy to work with and her knowledge of painting, colors and perspective are outstanding. If you are looking to find someone who can paint your place, your pet, or just about anything, we can surely recommend her. https://lidievoorend.nl
