Your launch into breathwork

Breathwork is getting more and more attention, and for good reason. With the increasing amount of stress-related complaints, there is a growing need to relax, to get "out of your head" and feel the connection with the body again.

But today there are so many breathing techniques, methods and protocols that many people can't see the forest for the trees. In I take you through the basics of breathwork and the nervous system to find simple applications of your own breath. You will learn the importance of functional breathing and receive exercises and tool to simply live better.

Optional Microdosing.

This program includes the opportunity to use a microdose of truffle to enhance the learning experience. A microdose is a barely perceptible dose of a psychedelic substance that has been scientifically shown to increase focus and learning ability.

Psilocybin, the active ingredient in truffles, increases our neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to adapt. In addition, new connections are formed between different brain regions, while the "default mode network" - responsible for standard routines and patterns - is less active. Either your current "self" relaxes for a while, giving your "desired self" room to develop.

We serve the psilocybin truffle which is relatively mild, completely safe and 100% legal here in the Netherlands. This is completely optional, some will want to partake in it and others will not. It is just an available tool.
