About microdosing

Microdosing is a very safe way to support our body and mind to release old patterns, reconnect with ourself on a deeper level and create new, healthier habits. Psilocybin (the active molecule in magic truffles) has been used for spiritual growth in native traditions for thousands of years. When we take a microdose, the intention is not to ‘trip’, as the effect of the microdose is barely noticeable by the conscious mind. Rather, the microdose helps us to dive just a little deeper into ourself and supports the integration of our inner wisdom into our daily lives.

About cacao

Cacao has also been used for thousands of years by native peoples as a sacred medicine and has been called “the food of the Gods”. It opens our veins and works as a tonic for our heart, while uplifting our mood. Cacao is a very subtle yet powerful medicine plant and works beautifully together with the psilocybin, enhancing its mind-opening effect.

  
About Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a relaxing form of yoga, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and the ancient yoga practice of India. We lie down or sit in poses for a longer period of time (5 to 10 minutes) and relax the body. This way, we sink deep into our connective tissues and meridians, which run throughout the body and are connected with all the organs. Yin Yoga helps the body to release tension and brings harmony to our inner landscape.
