Both work with magic truffles. Both can have profound effects. But they are fundamentally different — in approach, in experience and in what they ask of you. This is the honest, clear overview of two paths that both have their value.
What is microdosing?
Microdosing means taking a very small dose of magic truffles — typically 0.1 to 0.3 grams of dried truffles or mushrooms — every two or three days. The dose is low enough not to cause noticeable psychedelic effects, but high enough to produce subtle changes in mood, focus and creativity. Many people describe more clarity, less rumination and an increased sense of wellbeing.
What is a ceremonie?
A full truffle ceremonie uses a significant dose — typically 15-30 grams of fresh truffles, depending on weight, sensitivity and intention. The experience lasts 4-6 hours and involves clear psychedelic effects: emotional processing, insights, sometimes visions, and a temporary shift in ego-consciousness. This is a conscious, ritual experience under professional guidance.
When do you choose microdosing?
Microdosing suits people who want to improve their daily functioning without wanting to engage in an intense experience. It is discreet, does not contribute to a 'trip' and fits into a normal working week. It requires no guide and no ritual framework. The drawback: the depth that a ceremonie offers — emotional breakthroughs, deep insights — is rarely if ever reached through microdosing.
When do you choose a ceremonie?
A ceremonie suits people who are ready for a conscious, profound experience — who are willing to look at what is really going on, without distraction. The transformation a ceremonie can bring about is of a different order from what microdosing offers. They also ask more: preparation, guidance and integration. But the yield is commensurate.
Can they work together?
Some people combine microdosing and ceremonies — not simultaneously, but at different moments in their growth process. A ceremonie as a breakthrough moment, microdosing as daily support afterwards. That is a valid path. Important: always stop microdosing several weeks before a ceremonie, as tolerance may otherwise dampen the ceremonie experience. Want to know what suits you?

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between microdosing and a truffle ceremonie?
Microdosing uses a sub-perceptual dose for subtle daily effects. A ceremonie uses a full dose for a profound, transformative experience lasting 4–6 hours.
Can I microdose as preparation for a ceremonie?
Stop microdosing at least two weeks before a ceremonie — tolerance may otherwise dampen the experience. Microdosing after a ceremonie as daily support can however be valuable.
For whom is microdosing the better choice?
Microdosing suits people who want to improve daily functioning without an intense conscious experience. A ceremonie suits people ready for profound transformation and genuine breakthroughs.
