Frequently asked questions from Utrecht
Everything about a ceremony from Utrecht
Is there an ayahuasca ceremony in the city of Utrecht itself?
Ayahuasca is not legal in the Netherlands. Therefore, you will not find ayahuasca at reliable providers in Utrecht, but rather legal alternatives. MindTravellers is not located in the city, but in Culemborg, about 20 minutes by train from Utrecht Central. That is precisely what makes the difference: after your journey, you are in a peaceful environment along the Lek, not in the middle of the city.
Is ayahuasca legal in Utrecht and the rest of the Netherlands?
No. Ayahuasca contains DMT, and that falls under the Opium Act. Since a ruling by the Supreme Court in 2019, this also applies to ceremonial use. Psilocybin truffles, however, are legal. That is why we work with psilohuasca and magic truffles.
How do I get from Utrecht Central to MindTravellers by train?
Take the Sprinter from Utrecht Centraal (via Vaartsche Rijn and Houten). You do not need to change trains and will arrive at Culemborg station in approximately 20 minutes. From there, it is an 800-meter walk to Nijverheidsweg 7. Check NS.nl or 9292 for current departure times.
How long is the drive from Utrecht and can I park?
You can drive from Utrecht to Culemborg in about 30 minutes via the A2 (depending on traffic). You can park for free at the center. Because you are staying with us overnight after the ceremony, you will not drive back until the next morning.
Can I come from Utrecht by bike?
Yes. A beautiful route runs via Nieuwegein along the Lekdijk to Schalkwijk. There you take the ferry across the Lek to Culemborg. Do bring enough time and luggage for a two-day stay.
Do you also offer a truffle ceremony for people from Utrecht?
Yes. In addition to psilohuasca, we guide magic truffle ceremonies. Discovery (2 days, €395, including accommodation and meals) starts with magic truffles as standard. During the intake, we discuss which format best suits your intention.
Is a ceremony the same as psilocybin therapy at the UMC Utrecht?
No. UMC Utrecht conducts scientific research into psilocybin for difficult-to-treat depression within a medical setting. A ceremony at MindTravellers is a guided inner journey for personal growth, not a medical treatment. Are you currently undergoing treatment or taking medication? If so, please consult your doctor first. We will also discuss this during the screening.
Can I come from Utrecht with my partner or friends?
Yes. You can book a group trip together, or opt for a private ceremony: alone, as a couple, or in a small group of up to 4 people. A private ceremony with friends or family is also possible. Contact us for the possibilities.
