an indescribable experience!
It was my first experience where Tim accompanied me. He radiates so much calmness that I immediately felt very comfortable. I couldn’t have imagined a better guide!
Truffle Transformation Experience (Individual)
For a long time I was looking for a new ‘portal’ to come closer to my feelings, my body, my soul. In addition to yoga, meditation and body work I discovered the incredible work Tim is doing. I find Tim very knowledgeable, humble and dedicated to a high standard of professionalism. Tim’s way of working felt very solid and safe from the first till the last step. He guided me to deeper parts of my being that I was not able to access before. The program enriched my life and connected me stronger to my roots. I recommend this program to everybody that has done his/her bit of the mind- and bodywork and wants to access a journey to a deeper layer of awareness. No doubt Tim can be your trusted guide on that journey.
As a medical doctor I was fascinated by all the new research investigating the potential of psychedelics for depression and personal growth and I wanted to explore this in my own life. My experience with Tim to guide this experience was wonderful. He is a very warm person and responsible guide.
The coaching sessions before the psychedelic experience were very helpful to go into the experience with the right goals and mindset but also to create a safe atmosphere for the experience itself. Throughout the entire process I felt I was cared for in a warm and responsible way which is really necessary since the high dose psychedelic experience implies giving away control.
I think Tim is a wonderful guide. He is cautious and responsible. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to explore the use of psychedelics for personal growth.
As I was going further in a spiritual journey, I wanted to go more in depth regarding body energy. The following experience with Tim was amazing and he offered an excellent guidance. Therefore I had a beautiful experience during the ceremony that I would love to visit again in the future. Personally I would definitely want to recommend Tim to everyone, his approach is very calming and therapeutic. Thanks Tim! <3
I learned more about myself and about life in one truffle experience with Tim than in 15 years of intensive business & personal coaching.
Tim has incredible teaching skills. He fosters a safe, comfortable environment which enables to share freely and listen actively. His incredible ability to relate difficult concepts to practical application astound me. His teachings brought greater awareness in my life.
Tim is exactly the person you should have for this experience. He is very calm, reassuring and full of knowledge. He helped me through my experience and helped me understand it. I’m still seeing the impact on my life through the insight I gained.
Tim is also impeccable with arrangements and making you feel at ease with something that can be quite daunting.
When I’m ready, I plan to go through the experience with Tim again.
I had an issue with control and letting go, through a friend of mine I came in contact with Tim who helped me a great deal with this, using psychedelics. My experience was completely positive. Working with Tim was exactly what I needed, he gave me the (necessary) feeling of being completely safe in his hands, the set and setting were ideal for my journey. I would (and have) recommended the program to anybody facing the same issues I had.
Ondanks eerdere recreatieve ervaringen met psychedelica was deze therapeutische insteek toch heel nieuw voor me en bleek zeer waardevol. Ik deed een one on one session die vooraf en nadien erg warm en professioneel werd begeleid door Tim. Het feit dat ik begeleid werd door een professioneel iemand maakte dat ik me vrijer voelde om me zonder grenzen te uiten, wat ik dan ook deed 🙂
De ervaring was erg emotioneel en intens maar nooit té intens, ik ervaarde veel goesting om er voor te gaan en de dingen voluit aan te gaan, het voelde echt als therapeutisch emotioneel werk waarbij ik een soort logische volgorde aflegde rond een moeilijke relatie met een van mijn ouders. Ik was verbaasd over de focus van het proces en van de innerlijke logica die er zat in het proces. Het gebruik van headphones en oogmasker vond ik op voorhand een wat claustrofobisch idee maar het bleek essentieel te zijn om helemaal in mezelf te kunnen gaan. De soundtrack door Tim geselecteerd was heel goed en ik raad het zeker aan om een paar eigen nummers aan Tim door te spelen die hij op cruciale momenten mee in de playlist blend.
De ervaring heeft me geholpen om me bewust te worden van emotionele blokkades, om er door te gaan, ik ervaar een positief effect op de relatie
My Truffle Transformation Experience was truly profound and deeply spiritual. It opened a door for me that I had closed a long time ago.
The process is unique for everyone, and each of us enters it with a different intention. In my case, my insights were not immediately apparent after opening my eyes when the experience ended. They arose after letting the images and feelings I experienced on the journey percolate during the evening. As Tim recommends, it is important to reflect and write about the experience shortly afterwards. In writing about it I started to clearly see what I needed to know. Before ingesting the truffles I wanted two things from the experience. One was to spark my creativity. The second was to live with more love and curiosity. When I ‘awoke’ and Tim transitioned me with his gentle questions, I found myself almost thinking poetically. My mind felt much clearer and I was more articulate.
Throughout the journey my visions were dark, black, often subterranean, rainy and wet, interspersed with blissful music that spoke to me like a soul. I should have been frightened by what I was seeing but I wasn’t. In the back of my mind I felt safe because Tim was there. He is very experienced and I knew he would guide me. When I wrote about it later I saw clearly that I was too negative in my life. My thoughts sidelined my curiosity. I rarely immersed myself anymore in beauty. These insights helped me to re-focus in my life. I also have a love for the music Tim put together for my journey. When I listen to it now it is very calming. It reminds me to stay on the path.
The other spiritual element of my experience was the location in the old nunnery. I was the only guest. The chapel was incredible and enveloped me within the thousands of prayers that have reverberated off its walls over the centuries. The sense of peace was deep. I ate my meal in the chapel and wrote within its walls using stream-of-consciousness. It was the perfect way to end the day. This was such an important experience in my life that I will be doing it again when I return to Holland.
I was struggling with cyclical bouts of depression bordering on despair. Despite having moved past a devastating betrayal, learning to love my authentic self, spending more and more time in the now and manifesting my life partner at mid-life, I was unable to shed lingering pain. My intuition told me that I needed direct and prolonged contact with love, awe, connectedness – with source. My partner and I found Tim after very little research and knew upon reading about his own journey that he would be the one to guide our truffle experience together.
During our preparation, our post-experience integration and throughout the truffle experience itself, Tim was our safe person. He gently guided, asked questions to gather information and focus our intent, and quickly honed in on the essence of why we were called individually to use psilocybin. His calm, supportive, humble nature was especially important to me when I experienced a moment of fear as the medicine spread intensely in my body. But one of Tim’s most remarkable gifts is the ability to find and sequence the accompanying music in such a way that underlies the entire truffle experience. It is not merely a soundtrack but a fluid and highly nuanced world created by sound. I listen to this music even now, weeks after that day, and have an immediate gateway to expansion, to myself, to beauty and love and abundance.
If you want to have a beautiful garden, don’t waste time ripping out the weeds; rather, plant more flowers. That’s what Tim and his truffles and their gifts were to me – sunlight, growth, warmth, joy, the feeling of “more than enough”. I have seen and felt and known it, the great expansive universe, and cannot unsee it. Sadness and grief still come, but I am not afraid anymore. They are just visitors that need attention, pain to be metabolised. Love never leaves. Fear dies.
Thank you, Tim.
Retreats (Group)
The most healing experience of my life
It took me some time to decide that a psychadelic retreat was something I needed in my life. I had a clear intention to inspect topics around self-love and reduce sabotaging behaviors. I got this – but then so much more. Words are not sufficient to express it.
The environment that Tim and his team (Karen, Stella, Margot) created was welcoming, peaceful and safe. The timetable was perfect to prepare for the ceremony, with enough time for sharing and individual reflection. I had a lot of questions and all were graciously and reassuringly answered. The breath work was also mind-blowing on its own – it was a huge surprise for me that the body has such an innate capacity to heal. I felt safe to make the sounds and movements which were part of my journey without any hesitation or self-consciousness. I felt fully supported the whole time – and will forever be gratefully connected with Tim, the team and the other participants as well.
I recommend this experience to anyone (especially people new to psychadelics like me) who seeks a healing experience and knows in their heart they’re ready. This team is amazing.
Amazing experience!
It truly was an amazing and unique experience. From the very beginning Tim and the team (Stella, Karen & Margot) made us all feel very relaxed & comfortable and were always available to answer any questions or concerns. The whole weekend was incredible, the yoga, the meditations, the intention sharing, the cacao ceremony, the breathing exercises, and of course the truffle ceremony! ( I only wish it was available for longer than a weekend!) I can highly recommend to others who are looking for short but transformational retreat. I am very happy grateful to have done this and learnt a lot about myself and my spiritual process. Thank you once again to Tim, Stella, Karen and Margot!
Brilliantly planned , excellent implementation great results
The whole experience was about gently, but assertively building up a set of expectations and intentions as a group/ as individuals and provide a safe and supportive setting for all group members touching this adventurous experience with the magical world of magic mushrooms.
The whole experience was exactly as expected and promised and even beyond that.
Thanks to Tim and all other brothers and sisters for this extraordinary experience.

I came across Tim’s Tools of Awareness course as I was coming out the other side of a difficult period in my life. I had spent a number of years in the thick of a very unhealthy mindset and surroundings, and was beginning to dip my toe into meditation and mindfulness. I already had an interest in using psychedelics for spiritual growth and felt very pulled towards Tim’s Course for this reason – even though it meant leaving my home country.
I could not be happier that I made the choice to reach out.
My time with Tim and the other meditators was one of the most pivotal and cherished moments of my recent life. I immediately felt safe upon arrival, and Tim could not have been more welcoming to us all. I felt incredibly grounded with him and the others, a feeling that stayed with me for a very long period even as I returned home. Now, over a year after attending this course I still use the practices Tim taught us to reground myself when needed.
Everything about this experience was incredibly warm and comforting; the peaceful setting, the calming community whom we shared our space with and of course the presence of Tim himself and all he shared with us. I had felt such a great sense of belonging and an inner calmness that I had never experienced before that I was moved to tears when it came time to leave. I will always cherish and hold dear to my heart every moment spent in this pocket of time and could not recommend enough the chance to experience the life changing adventure I found myself on. I thank Tim with all my heart for providing the space and expertise to facilitate such a monumental moment in my life.

Psychedelics FAQ
Are Magic Truffles illegal?
The Truffle Transformation Experience is offered in the Netherlands, where buying and consuming magic truffles is 100% legal.
Can everybody participate? (exclusion criteria)
Due to its profound effects, the Truffle Transformation Experience is currently only being offered to individuals without mental or physical health problems. This means that people with depression or severe trauma(s) will not be able to attend.
Participants will also be screened medically beforehand through a questionnaire. This is necessary for several reasons and for your own benefit. For example, certain medications can have dangerous or undesirable interactions with the truffles. In case of doubt I will refer you to a licensed therapist or counselor with knowledge of psychedelics.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Are psychedelics dangerous?
Psychedelics must be handled with care, and specific safety measures must be taken into account. Research found psilocybin safe for human consumption when used in carefully regulated environments.
In fact, a study has shown that psilocybin (mushrooms) is the safest psychoactive substance on the entire spectrum, much safer than other legal drugs, such as alcohol and nicotine.
Why do you use magic truffles and not magic mushrooms, ayahuasca, LSD, MDMA, etc.?
- Magic truffles are 100% natural.
- Magic truffles are currently the only psychoactive product that is 100% legal to use in the Netherlands.
- Magic truffles are more stable to dose with than magic mushrooms.
