Calm guiding presence
I'd researched this type of experience for some time and knew I wanted to have 1 to 1 experience rather than a group session. Initial contact with Gregory was via email to make arrangements and give an overview of my motivations. We had an hour long video call to discuss in greater depth a few days before the session.
On the day Gregory arrived promptly at my central Amsterdam hotel and we got acquainted with chat and a breathing meditation for about an hour before starting the truffle experience.
Gregory was calm and humble from the beginning and throughout. I wanted to emerse myself in the experience and did so by laying on the bed wearing a blindfold and listening to a gentle playlist. After an hour I felt I could go deeper so drank another tea. Gregory allowed me to experience the truffles without interference from outside factors in an environment where I felt safe. He was mostly quiet throughout only encouraging me to 'stay with it' when he could see that I was having an experience or working through something. When I was coming back to reality he was a cool calm presence gently answering whatever questions I may have had but not leading the conversation. There were quite a few laughs at this stage of the experience.
Gregory was truly thoughtful throughout allowing me to have my own experience with no preconceptions. I felt listened to, safe throughout and really felt that I made a breakthrough in accepting past traumas. My experience was deep and I am still processing it.
Following my experience I had another call with Gregory to discuss in a bit more depth. I found this extremely helpful to walk through the various phases of my experience and to understand what it was like for Gregory to observe. I highly recommend him as a guide if you are considering this type of experience. Safe and calm
