Enjoy your trip: here’s how to create the right atmosphere and setting for an extra fun psychedelic trip

Have you had a psychedelic trip on shrooms, truffles or something else fun planned? Then -in addition to the practical preparation of your trip – definitely provide a good atmosphere and ideal setting. Because just like a party or a vacation trip, a psychedelic outing benefits from mood management. If you really want to have fun at least. Learn how to ensure the perfect setting and atmosphere during your trip session and why these things all contribute to a great experience.

In addition to your own state, the state of your environment is very important to how your trip goes. Whether you are tripping indoors or outdoors; it is more than wise to seek or create a safe and comfortable environment. We previously wrote this extensive blog about that, by the way: Why is a familiar environment important for a trip with magic mushrooms and truffles?

Tripping indoors: this is how to create the optimal atmosphere

If you choose to trip indoors, make sure you have a space that is clean and tidy and feels comfortable. Provide plenty of seating areas, pillows and blankets. Make it a little project. For example, give the trip session a certain theme, so you can get totally absorbed in it. In the process, you can totally let your creativity run wild – something psychedelics are, of course, ultimate for! Here are a few fun tips:

1. Kosmos

Transform space into well, space. Create an intergalactic adventure with star projectors, glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling and a smoke machine. Play soothing, cosmic music and project colorful visuals on the walls and that smoke to make the space feeling ultimate. And don’t forget your space costume!

2. Jungle

Create your own indoor jungle with lots of greens, plants and animal prints. You can make lianas and leaves from paper or other materials and scatter them around the room. Play sounds of exotic birds and waterfalls between the music and create a relaxed and adventurous atmosphere. You can even use fragrance sticks for an extra experience; palo santo, for example, or incense.

3. Rainbow Paradise

Fill your entire trip with rainbow colors for an extra happy atmosphere. LED bulbs are great for this. In addition, you can distribute colorful accessories throughout the space. Or you can make your own decorations such as big hearts made of paper for on the wall. And dress yourself nicely in cheerful outfits, too. Think disco leggings, tutus and fancy dress outfits. Dive right into your character and live out your imagination!

Outdoor tripping: fun activities and props

If you are tripping outside, preferably choose a place where you are familiar and where you feel safe. Avoid crowded or unfamiliar areas. And check the weather – the last thing you want is to have to seek shelter in the rain mid-trip. Quite a mood-killer when you suddenly have to shoot into survival mode!

Also smart if you are tripping outside is to make a packing list in advance. What things should not be missed during the hours outdoors and what can make the experience of your trip extra fun? Consider, for example, wet wipes, a change of clothes, extra clothes, cash and sunglasses. But also essential: fun props! Think of what fun things you could do, put on a cheerful outfit and don’t forget your speaker. From Frisbee to Twister, scavenger hunts and other games. During a trip, this childish outdoor play is a tremendous boost to the atmosphere.

Many people are not aware of it, but light and lighting affect your mood. Since in a trip you are extra sensitive to visual input, lighting definitely deserves some attention and care! The tip: score colored LED lights that you can customize. Think remote control light snakes, LED light bulbs and galaxy projectors. In general, warm colors such as warm-white, orange, red and pink will make you feel more pleasant and relaxed than bright or loud colors. But mostly play with it and combine different colors with each other. For example, put a green LED light near your plants and create a jungle vibe. Or illuminate different rooms in your home in different colors and go exploring.

The company you choose to trip with can also have a big impact on how enjoyable your experience is. Make sure you have people around you who you trust and who are positive. So don’t choose the one friend who regularly has a bad trip or who creates an uncomfortable atmosphere. Everything is energy in a psychedelic trip, and negative people can pretty much drain your soul. Avoid not only people who radiate negative energy, but also people you don’t know well. In fact, chances are you will feel less comfortable with the latter.
