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:
Benefits of psychedelic and peak experiences
The science and theory behind how psychedelics work
Medical safety information related to psychedelic use
A guided reflection exercise
Self-care practices for transformation 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 Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) from Columbia University’s Psychedelic Therapy training program. She offers support in psychedelic-assisted therapy integration — helping translate altered states of consciousness moments into lasting shifts in relationships, health, work, and spiritual life.
She often works with people who carry complex traumas, burnt out high-achievers, and individuals with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identities. Her approach draws from humanistic psychology, psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic experiencing.
