We have exciting news to share 💥 Three years ago, we started Spinoza with the illustrious Bionaut Program, our most in-depth psychedelic program for personal transformation. The first ‘Bionauts’ have always formed a close group within Spinoza.

This exclusive program will start again on October 7th. Inscriptions have gone fast and we have the last spots left open. If you hear the call to join, don’t hesitate and follow the link in our bio.

The Bionaut Program is a transformative three-month journey that contains three immersive psychedelic ceremonies and ongoing one-on-one mentoring.

This is an opportunity to unlock your intuitive intelligence and make nature your primary source of health and wellbeing.

The program will introduce and help you navigate different ancient practices like meditation and breathwork to help you turn old habits into positive ones.

As we embark on this fifth edition, we’re excited to offer an experience that’s not just about personal growth but also about becoming part of something larger than yourself.

Every individual possesses an innate longing for connection and belonging. It reminds us that as social beings, our well-being and fulfillment are deeply intertwined with our ability to form and nurture meaningful relationships with others and the world around us.

This quote highlights the universal nature of our need for connection. Regardless of our backgrounds, experiences, or differences, the longing for connection resides within each of us. It serves as a powerful reminder that our shared humanity unites us, emphasizing the importance of fostering empathy, understanding, and compassion in our interactions.

You did it!

We want to send a huge, huge thank you. To all of you who joined in. There were more than 150 of you. Of brave, beautiful, inspiring people.

You stepped into the unknown to breathe yourself open.

To breathe into letting go of tension and stress, to breathe into joy and laughter, into tears, into peace, into connection, into your own inner wisdom. You did it!

Another wild thank you to the amazing team who made all this possible: the compassionate breathwork guides (you are angels), the hosts, the musicians who took us to new levels, to the people behind the scenes, to all beings spreading your love and taking care of everyone present.

Could you feel it?

We hoped it moved in you.

We feel so incredibly grateful. We love you.

Once we’ve landed, shall we meet again sometime?

A swedish non-profit, The Norrsken Foundation, announced a new sector: Norrsken Mind, a Psychedelic Science Initiative.

They stated that Sweden needs to “catch up” with research into psilocybin and MDMA-assisted therapy. The 4.4 million dollar funds will first be utilised at Stohjolms renowned medical school Karolinska Institutet, and up north at Umeå University, a public research institute.

This is the most well-known microdosing protocol (also known as the Beginners Protocol).

It’s named after Dr. James Fadiman, who created this protocol to observe the effects of microdosing by clearly distinguishing between microdosing days and non- microdosing days.

It aims to optimise the realisation of benefits and avoid the development of tolerance.

It assumes a 3-day cycle, which you follow for four to a maximum of eight weeks.

For anyone who wants to embark on their microdosing journey, we invite you to our apotheka natura in the link in bio.

Remember, you are the medicine.

Natural medicine holds the potential to be a powerful and valuable addition to our journey toward better health and wellbeing.

In our pursuit of knowledge and understanding, we recognise the significance of delving deeper into the realm of these substances.

The European Parliament, recogning the value of natural medicine, has formed a dedicated group within the EU. Their purpose is to explore psychedelics through rigorous research, bridging ancient wisdom and modern science for a more holistic perspective on healing and wellbeing.

This foundational step signifies a shifting perspective on psychedelics as a form of medicine within contemporary society. It's an exciting bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science.

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring substance which can be found in more than 200 species of fungi.

The most well-known in this category is the Psilocybe Cubensis, mostly under the alias of the magic mushroom.

What’s good to know is that a mushroom is merely the fruiting body of a network of underground structures known as mycelium.

These are fine, hairlike networks which can cover vast areas and work to benefit nature’s wellbeing by distributing nutrients between soil, plants and trees.

Please be invited to our first Spinoza Day Ceremony.

Remember, you are the medicine.

Psilocybin has gained attention for its potential use in therapy. A lesser-explored area involves microdosing, where individuals take very low doses.

A recent study, released on in October 2023, established a validated microdosing-like regimen and found that it may enhance stress resilience, reduce compulsive behaviors, and have positive effects on certain brain receptors, supporting anecdotal reports of microdosing benefits in therapy.

To find out more read the full article in the link in our bio.

Microdosing is a practice of taking small doses of psychedelics, such as psilocybin truffles or mushrooms, with the aim of improving your cognitive functioning or psychological wellbeing. A microdose is generally between a tenth- and a twentieth of a ceremonial dose.

Microdosing offers a range of benefits, acting as a catalyst for both mental and emotional well-being while fostering personal growth. It sharpens focus, sparks creativity, and nurtures self-awareness and mindfulness. Moreover, it paves the way for more harmonious relationships and stress reduction. With the right guidance, microdosing can be a conduit to not only a positive outlook on life but also a sustainable future, encouraging a renewed, symbiotic relationship with nature and fellow beings.

You can find our microdosing products on our online shop; Apotheka Natura. Link is in the bio.

It gives us immense joy to unveil our new online store, Apotheka Natura.
