Psychedelic Psycho-education

As a festival lover and frequent attendee, I have experienced the magic of the festival scene. This magic comes from a combination of music, people, art, nature and sometimes, psychedelics.

I created this workshop out of a desire to honor anyone who, like me, has been touched by that magic and wants to understand it more deeply. Bring the Magic Home is a 60-minute interactive psycho-educational workshop exploring the neuroscience behind psychedelic experiences and some tips to intentionally integrate what surfaces during them into everyday life.

Information

  • Drawing on current research in psychedelic-assisted therapy and neuroplasticity, this 60-minute workshop helps explain why psychedelic experiences can feel so profound and what is actually happening in the brain.

    Attendees will be guided through a brief music-assisted reflection exercise— and begin to map their findings to meanings both personal and beyond the festival grounds.

    Harm reduction and safety are integrated throughout. This is not a workshop that romanticizes psychedelic use. No therapy experience necessary.

  • In this workshop, participants will explore:

    1. The benefits of psychedelic and peak experiences

    2. The science and theory behind how psychedelics work

    3. Medical safety information related to psychedelic use

    4. A guided reflection exercise

    5. Self-care practices for integrating the experience after the festival

  • This 60-minute workshop is made up of 35 minutes of psychoeducational content and 25 minutes of a music-assisted reflection exercise with both individual and group components. Paper handouts and pens will be given to attendees.

  • Khanh Diep (KD) is a social worker graduated from Columbia University’s Psychedelic Therapy Training Program (MSW). She offers support in integrating psychedelic experiences — helping translate those moments into lasting shifts in relationships, health, work, and spiritual life.

    She works with burnt out high-achieving professionals, people who carry complex traumas and generational burdens, and individuals with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identities. Her approach draws from humanistic psychology, psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic experiencing.
