A truffle ceremonie is not an ordinary day. Preparation begins weeks in advance — and largely determines how deep and safe your experience will be. Here is everything you need to know.
Two weeks before: preparing body and mind
Start reducing alcohol and recreational drugs two weeks before the ceremonie. Eat lighter, sleep well, and begin meditating or journalling if you don't already. If you take medication — always consult your doctor. Some medications (particularly MAO inhibitors and certain antidepressants) cannot be combined with magic truffles.
One week before: nutrition and intention
The week before the ceremonie, switch to light, nourishing meals. Less meat, sugar and processed foods. Not as a dogma — but as self-care. At the same time, begin formulating your intention. What do you want to explore? What do you want to release? There is no right or wrong intention — what matters is honesty.
The day before: rest and alignment
Keep the day before the ceremonie as quiet as possible. Eat light, no alcohol, no heavy social situations. Lay out your things. Write your intention down once more — and refine it if needed. Aim for an early night.
The morning itself: being present
Have a light breakfast or fast (check what works best for you). Wear comfortable, loose clothing in layers — it may feel warm or cool during the ceremonie. Take time for a quiet morning. No news, no rushing, no distractions.
The day after the ceremonie: planning for integration
This may be the most underrated part of preparation: plan the day after the ceremonie deliberately empty. No obligations, no parties, no packed agenda. Give yourself space to land. Write down what comes up. This is the beginning of your integration process — and it deserves room.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before a truffle ceremonie?
A light breakfast or fasting works best for most people. At minimum avoid a heavy meal on the morning of the ceremonie.
Which medications are incompatible with magic truffles?
MAO inhibitors and certain antidepressants cannot be combined with magic truffles. Always discuss your medication use in the intake — never hide it from the guide.
How far in advance should I start preparing?
Ideally begin two weeks before the ceremonie: less alcohol, lighter eating and conscious management of stimuli. The week before focus on intention and rest.
