One Day Off · a 1:1 guided journey for entrepreneurs

You built the business. When did you last check if it's still building the life?

A one-on-one guided truffle journey in nature, for entrepreneurs who want clarity on what they're building, and on what they're carrying. Legal in the Netherlands. Phone off. One full day. Then we make it stick.

01The feeling

You're running a successful business. So what's this feeling?

You're good at business. Decisions, growth, pressure: you handle it. You spend most of your waking hours in your head, and it works.

But somewhere along the way the business stopped being a tool and started being the whole thing. Maybe you've noticed:

You're building the life of your dreams for someday, and someday keeps moving.
You can run a company, but you're not sure what you actually feel anymore.
The freedom you started this for is exactly what you have least of.
There's something stuck in there. Not a crisis. Just a quiet "is this it?"

Or it isn't the business at all. It's you:

Something from before is still in the room. A relationship, a loss, a decision. You've moved on in every way except the one that counts.
The same pattern keeps showing up, at work and at home, and you can't see where it starts.
You've read the books, done the retreats, maybe the therapy. You know your story by heart. You just can't seem to let it go.

This day is for that question, whichever one it is. Not to blow up your business or your life. To see it clearly, from outside your head, and decide what you want to do about it. In my experience it often starts as one question and turns out to be the other.

02What this is

What this is

Coaching, a day in nature, and psilocybin truffles, in that order of importance.

The truffles are the tool that gets you out of your head and into your body for a few hours. The nature makes it safe and simple. The coaching before and after is what turns a powerful day into an actual change in how you live and lead.

What tends to happen: once you're out of your head, things look different. You don't just see that something is there; you see where it comes from. That isn't an answer handed to you. It's your own, seen clearly for once. The weeks after are about letting it change something.

What this is not

Not therapy or medical treatment. I'm a coach and facilitator, not a doctor or therapist.
Not a party. No alcohol, no other substances, no phones, no crowd.
Not a shortcut. The day opens something. The weeks after are where the work is.
Not for everyone. There's a real screening process, and I say no when it's not a fit.

03The day

One day off, done properly

Before

Free intro call to see if this is right for you and me. Then a medical and personal intake. If we go ahead, two preparation calls where we get clear on your intention: what you want to see, and what you're afraid to look at.

The evening before

You arrive at a quiet place in nature. Dinner, a walk, an early night. No inbox.

The day

We start early, fasted, phones away. Intention setting, then the journey, which takes most of the day. I'm with you the whole time, sober and present. Expect nature, music, movement, stillness and breath. Everything we might do during the day, we agree on together in the preparation calls, so there are no surprises. Nothing is forced, nothing is off-limits, and nothing happens without your yes. Late afternoon we land, journal, and share a light meal before you head home.

After

A call the next morning. A call at one week. A call at one month. Together we choose two or three concrete changes, in your business or your life, and build a 90-day plan so this doesn't stay a beautiful memory.

05Safety

Safety first, so let's be clear

This work is powerful, and it isn't safe for everyone. I will ask you about all of this on the intake, and I'll ask you to sign an informed-consent agreement. Please don't apply if any of these apply to you:

A personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder
Currently taking lithium, antipsychotics, or antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs), or recently stopped
A serious heart condition or uncontrolled high blood pressure
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Currently in acute crisis, severe depression, or having thoughts of harming yourself
Under 21
Looking for a fix for a mental health condition. This isn't that.

If you're not sure whether something applies to you, ask me on the intro call. I'd rather say "not now" than say yes to the wrong person.

First time? That's fine. I'll want to know about any previous experience with truffles or other plant medicines, but zero experience isn't a barrier.

06Your guide

Who's holding the space

I'm René, a Dutch coach and facilitator. I've worked in IT since I was sixteen, spent years traveling Europe for a big corporate, then went freelancing, which gave me the freedom and the money to see the world. Somewhere on that road the real journey started: retreats, silent and otherwise, years of personal development, and more than a decade of ceremonies with plant medicines, beginning with the same truffles we work with here. First as a participant, later as an assistant.

So I know what it's like to be in your head, to be terrified, to laugh until you cry, to cry until you laugh, and to walk out of a day like this with a clarity you couldn't think your way to.

In Bali I made helping people my work and became a coach, because supporting someone to become a better human is the thing I'd do for free. I've coached entrepreneurs and freelancers on confidence, relationships and building a business that funds a life, and today I run more than one company myself, including a small boutique hotel in Bali that I still operate remotely. So yes, I speak your language.

I'm not a guru and I'm not done. I strive to be a better person every single day, and I still make my share of mistakes. What I bring is who I am when I sit with someone in this: open, calm, patient, occasionally funny, and not in a hurry. Anything I say that sounds wise is borrowed, from my mentors, from the medicine, from the people I've sat with. I'm just passing it on.

These days my life looks like what this page is pointing at: a solid morning practice, the gym on a Tuesday at eleven, and work when I'm inspired.

09Questions

Questions you probably have

Is this legal?

Yes. Psilocybin truffles are legal to buy, possess and consume in the Netherlands. (Dried mushrooms are not; we don't use them.) All journeys take place in the Netherlands.

Can you come to me / my country?

No. Psilocybin is illegal almost everywhere else, so everything happens here. Schiphol is 60 to 90 minutes from most locations. Many clients fly in the day before.

What if it gets difficult?

It can. Difficult moments are a normal part of this work and often where the value is. I'm with you the whole time, sober and experienced in sitting with people through exactly this. A second trained person is on call nearby for the whole day. You are never left alone.

Are you sober during the day?

Yes, always. That's non-negotiable and it's part of what makes it safe for you to go all the way in.

Do I have to talk about my business?

No. You set the intention. Business is often where the question starts, but where it goes is up to you. Some people bring a relationship, a loss, or something they've never managed to let go of. That's just as welcome, and just as common.

Is it confidential?

Completely. Nothing you say or do is shared with anyone.

Do I need a phone-free day?

Yes. Phones are off and away from the evening before until we've landed. Your business will survive. And if turning your phone off for one day feels impossible, that isn't a reason to skip this. It's probably the reason to come.

Can I do this with a co-founder or partner?

Ask me. Small groups are coming later; right now it's one-on-one only.

Two minutes. No payment now. I read every application myself.
