Truly Loving

I had a truly wonderful experience with Renate, Felix and Zilver. This was my second psilocybin journey, my first being in a group setting, and I wanted to explore what a private session would feel like. Renate kindly accommodated this, and I’m so grateful she did.

Before the ceremony we sat together, talked, and shared some tea. I chose to consume the truffles in a tea that Renate thoughtfully prepared, making sure it was done in the optimal and most effective way. The journey itself was everything I expected and more: profound, emotional, confronting, and deeply rewarding. Throughout the entire experience I felt completely safe in Renate’s capable, grounded, and compassionate presence. Her two wonderful cats, Felix and Zilver, were incredibly comforting guides, offering warmth and companionship at exactly the right moments.

When the ceremony came to a close, Renate prepared a meal while I took some time to settle and reconnect, with plenty of playtime from my two new furry friends. That night I slept peacefully, accompanied by Felix and Zilver. Zilver curled up at my feet while Felix rested near my head, where I could hear and feel his soothing, healing purrs. As someone who loves the company of cats, their affection added something truly special to the experience.

In the morning, Renate made breakfast and we spoke about my journey. She shared some of her own experiences and offered thoughtful guidance on integration, which I found incredibly valuable.

Renate’s home is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, with a private guest toilet and a peaceful atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. I’m deeply grateful to her and to Felix and Zilver for welcoming me so openly and giving me the space to have such a meaningful experience.

I’m certain I will return.

Truly Loving provides a unique and enlightening psilocybin experience to aid one's journey of self-discovery and collective consciousness. It helps dissolve ego-mind, worry and stress. I felt at ease from the initial video call, to the experience itself and parting ways the following day. The host is warm, caring, informative and honest. Clear advice is given from the get-go through to integration and aftercare. Personally I found the truffles (underground mushrooms) effective on a double dosage and patience is important, best not to overly anticipate or force any outcome - just go with the flow and practice presence, guided by the music with a blindfold. The effect was still fairly mellow and not overwhelming or uncomfortable in any way, shape or form. The sound selection was pure bliss and the host has a beautifully captivating singing voice, honestly inspiring! These factors and the two lively house cats elevated the experience for me. Many thanks and much love Renate, I am most grateful.

My retreat experience was great, better than I expected. It was the first time I used plant medicine and didn’t know exactly what to expect but Renate supported me during the whole process. The experience I had helped me get insights and reinforced things I already knew but struggled to focus on, believe or put into action. I am only at 3 days post retreat but it seems to have released some of the physical issues I had as well. Renate’s cats also helped during the ceremony, I was impressed with how intuitive and in tune with what I needed. I am very grateful to all 3 of them! Now the maintenance and integration part starts.

I attended a two day Psilohuasca retreat. I'd been struggling with a lot of problems in my physical and mental health, and it made sense to me - after years of talk therapy - that I could not logic my way out of my problems.

My first ceremony of the retreat dredged up a lot of old problems and I found myself frustrated to be going over old ground again. We discussed our first day's journey the following morning and I expressed doubt over whether I should set an intention again to find peace in my mind and body (as had been my intention on the first day), or whether I should focus on letting the past go.

Renate then gave me the best advice I had ever been given - that I cannot let go of the past, and that if the past and its problems were where the medicine was taking me, I should face up to it and let the medicine take me on the journey I needed to go on, even if it wasn't the journey I wanted. And to breathe through the discomfort and go with it.

Very dubious, I followed Renate's advice, and after much initial discomfort and having to sit with and explore some very painful emotions, my journey took me so much deeper than I could have hoped, to a place where - perhaps for the first time in my life - I feel fully embodied and comfortable in my own skin.

In addition to the great guidance, Renate and David (Martijn was away) took great practical care of us, feeding us, looking after us, taking us on walks in the countryside and were great and considerate hosts.

It has been an amazing weekend under the care of Renate and David - and of course the two "spirit guide" cats.
There was a ton of support and great knowledge to guide everyone through their ceremonies.
The location was lovely as well in the peaceful countryside.
The small groups make it very personal and give everyone the opportunity for a lot of sharing and personal interaction.
Renate has been super insightful and with great intuition for what was going on inside me so with all the exchange and advice I have made some great progress.
I can only recommend this.
