About this event
This is not your average party.
This is not a regular club night. This is not a regular ecstatic dance. Or a conscious event with no talking. This is something unique, we invite you into a co-created space for people who want more playfulness, more authentic connections - something in between a good chill night out (but coming back home before midnight). But also with more intentionality, consciousness, depth, and possibilities to connect deeper beyond small talks, in more embodied and creative ways. Gently supported by our delicious truffle microdosing mocktail tea at the bar.
Welcome to join our deeper connection movement, powered by Paradigm Xchange.
After several sold-out editions, we’re opening the doors to a bigger summer gathering.
On the night of July 3 , join us for the XL Summer Edition of our Microdosing Party Amsterdam - this time we are having a partially outdoor sunset edition to enjoy the summer weather. It's in the beautiful and bright salon of Ruigoord, a vibrant, conscious and sustainable community just outside of Amsterdam, with lots of outdoor nature spaces to explore nearby.
Think warm summer air, live music/DJ, guided (deeper) connection exercises to break the ice, inspiring artists, creative corners to explore your senses and sensations, optional microdosing tea, and a cozy setting that helps you soften, relax, and actually enjoy connecting. We also have an option for a light, healthy & yummy dinner, prepared by local organic ingredients, before the party starts.
WHAT THIS EVENING IS ABOUT ✨
At the heart of this event is authentic human connection.
Because so many social spaces feel the same. Fast. Loud. Random. Disconnected. Or overly curated in a way that makes everyone self-conscious.
We’re interested in something else:
A room with intention, but without pressure.
A social experience that helps people relax enough to actually meet each other.
A space that feels playful, present, a bit more magical, and still very grounded.
Just a different kind of space - one where it becomes easier to arrive as you are, drop some of the social armor and masks, and meet others with more openness, curiosity, and ease.
You might discover new ways to connect - e.g. gazing, dancing and making arts together, cuddle..
You may meet a new friend, a collaborator, someone unexpected, or simply have one of those rare nights that reminds you how good it feels to be around open-hearted people.
And yes - meeting someone special can happen too.
But that’s not the focus of this edition.
The focus is the intention we bring.
The atmosphere.
The people.
The feeling of being part of something warm, alive, and more meaningful than your average night out. Something more REAL and bigger - becoming a part of a community.
You might find yourself:
- talking to someone you never would have met otherwise
- laughing with strangers five minutes after arriving
- dancing barefoot like no one is watching you
- Making arts and play with our inner child out together
- having a conversation that feels unexpectedly genuine
- wandering between music, art, and little moments of connection
- feeling more like yourself than you do at most parties
- being immersed in the natures spaces around
❤️ WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- entry to a full evening experience
- guided icebreakers and connection rituals
- access to the free-flow social and creative spaces
- inspiration and support from our team of facilitators and assistants
- access to the microdosing bar throughout the night - your first drink is on us :)

❤️ THE HEART OF OUR PARTY
This is not your average party.
It’s a social playground. A co-created experience. A space with intention.
To help set the tone, we invite you into a few simple agreements:
- All optional. Nothing needs to happen
This is a non-goal-driven space. You don’t need to meet someone, impress anyone, or make the night become something. Let it be an adventure. Follow your curiosity. Enjoy the unfolding.
-You are the co-creator
This is not a passive experience. You choose how you want to move through the evening and give the energy that you like to receive - whether that’s connecting, dancing, chatting, wandering, or simply taking space for yourself. We invite self-responsibility and self-care throughout.
-All of you is welcome
You don’t need to perform in a (good only) mood here. Joy, play, softness, quiet, slowness, sadness, aliveness, introversion - it’s all welcome. You’re invited to relax and be yourself.
-Consent and respect shape the space
This is a consent-based, clothed-on, heart-open space. We value clear choice, mutual respect, and attunement. We’ll help guide connection in a way that feels natural and easefu.
✅ WHAT YOU CAN EXPACT
This XL Summer Edition will be a little bigger, more brightness, more spacious, and extra summery - while keeping the intimacy and intention of our previous gatherings.
You can expect:
- a warm and welcoming arrival
- optional microdosing truffle tea or a regular tea
- a gentle group opening to help everyone land
- playful, embodied connection prompts and exercises
- musicians, DJ, and artists present for inspiration exchange
- different corners to play, explore, hang out, and connect
- space to dance, wander, rest, and follow your own rhythm
- nourishing snacks and thoughtful details throughout the evening
🌿 THIS EVENING IS FOR YOU IF
- you want to meet new people in a way that feels more relaxed and real
- you enjoy spaces with intention, warmth, beauty, and more depth
- you also like a good chill party where you have enough free space
- you’re curious about conscious, creative, or alternative social experiences
- you like the idea of optional microdosing as a gentle support for presence and ease
- you want a night that feels alive, playful, and yet human
- you’re open to surprise, without needing the evening to become something specific
THIS EVENING MAY NOT BE FOR YOU IF
- you’re looking for a mainstream club night
- you mainly want a place to get high or party hard
- the number of drinks matter more than connection
- you want to stay fully disengaged and not interact at all
- you’re expecting a dating event or some guaranteed outcome
- you need everything to be fast, efficient, or transactional
💃 HOW THIS EVENING MAY UNFOLD
16:45 — Dinner (optional)
If you have purchased the extra dinner ticket - we recommend that :)
18:00 — Arrival
You enter the space, settle in, tune into your intention for the night before receiving the first free drink at the bar, and start landing into the space.
19:00 — Opening
We gather together to set the tone and container for the evening and make the space feel more safe, coherent and well-held from the start.
19:00 — Guided connection experience
A light but intentional opening with playful and embodied social invitations to help you break the ice, soften nervousness, and make meeting people feel easier.
From 19:30 onwards — Free-flow summer party
The evening opens up. Move between music, conversations, playful experiences, cozy corners, creative artists, connection spaces, and the little unexpected moments in between.
Around 22:30 — Closing
We complete the evening together with coming back to yourself, presence and perhaps gratitude, before heading back into the city. We will share some words for aftercare/integration as well.
🍹 ABOUT THE MICRODOSING TEA
Microdosing is completely optional. At the bar, you’ll be able to choose between a microdosing truffle tea and a non-microdosing alternative. The microdose is gentle and intended to support: relaxation, openness, presence, social ease, focus, a deeper enjoyment of sensory experience...
For most people, it does not create a full psychedelic trip. You remain functional, aware, present, and in choice. You can feel free to bike or drive after the party ends.
