Next Level Herbs in Zwolle
From the very beginning, our vision for the shop has been crystal clear: to create a store that offers a unique visitor experience and also functions as a meeting place for everyone in the Zwolle region who lives from a subculture or a specific life philosophy that doesn’t quite align with the norm. A small free haven for musicians, artists, and freethinkers to connect, share, and simply hang out. We are also blessed with the beautiful people we get to meet through the shop.
Driven by customer demand, Next Level has grown into the shop it is today. We always listen to our customers’ needs and respond wherever possible. The shop has become a true museum where artists have expressed themselves in the decoration, and on weekends it transforms into a platform for DJs and producers to showcase their talents. Over time, many of these artists have become close friends of the store. For many customers, the shop feels like a second home. Everyone has contributed a piece to what Next Level has become, and together we form the Next Level Community.

JASPER
Hello,
My name is Jasper, and what I bring to Next Level is above all a deeply rooted passion for mushrooms. Over the years this passion has taught me to cultivate and use my own medicine. Through that practice I found a clear improvement in my health: physically, mentally, and ultimately spiritually.
Besides mushrooms, I love medicinal plants, techniques, and objects that can improve the quality of life and help us further explore the mystery of existence.
See you in the shop!
Mush Love,
Jasper
NIEK
Hello,
My name is Niek, and I have been working at Next Level since 2019.
As a highly sensitive child, I was already interested in esotericism and expanding consciousness. I could (and still can) strongly sense energy in people, animals, plants, and the places I visit. At a young age, I distanced myself from the masses and never took part in the collective rat race.
At 17, I started solo cycling and hiking trips across Europe. On those journeys I came into deeper contact with my inner layers and saw them reflected in the outer world.
Later, my path deepened through exploring medicinal plants and mushrooms—an interest that has never left me. This eventually unfolded into my current workplace at Next Level. Here, I enjoy advising people through a combination of intuition, personal experience, customer stories, and general knowledge.
At Next Level, you can come to me for advice on micro- and macrodosing psychedelics, adaptogens, and many other plants and mushrooms used as instruments for healing and self-development.
MARC
Since 2023, Marc Voortman has been the manager of Next Level Herbs in Zwolle. With a keen eye for detail, he worked together with the owner to give the store a new look and transformation, where shamanism and plant medicines set the tone.
You can ask Marc anything about products as diverse as vaporizers, truffles, and even graffiti supplies. Within his team, providing good information (for both beginners and experienced psychonauts) is of great importance.
In addition to his tireless dedication to the shop, Marc has a passion for everything that grows and blooms, and at home he creates his own sacred plants garden.
