Music as Medicine
Music plays a central role in the psychedelic experience, shaping perception, emotion, and integration. Across wisdom traditions, live and interactive music has long been used in ceremonial settings to guide and deepen the journey. Today, modern psychedelic therapy incorporates carefully curated soundscapes, blending contemporary research with traditional approaches.
This event will explore the transformative power of music in psychedelic spaces, the importance of set and setting, the role of bespoke musical experiences, and how different styles of music align with specific psychedelic compounds. We will also discuss the protocols established by modern studies and the significance of respecting diverse musical traditions.
In addition to these discussions, the event will feature live musical performances and sound baths, offering an immersive experience of music as a healing tool.
About the Salon
This is an informal, invite-only gathering for like-minded clinicians exploring the intersection of neuroscience, therapy, and altered states of consciousness. We foster deep, candid discussions in a space that values intellectual rigour, humility, and curiosity.
Our goal is to create a supportive community where practitioners can challenge, consult, and collaborate—without pretence or dogma. Conversations often begin with psychedelics but evolve into broader, more enriching discussions.
This isn’t a clinical case conference, nor is it an esoteric free-for-all. We strike a balance between evidence-based practice and the ineffable, between rigorous thought and open-hearted exploration.

A Note on Responsible Discussion
We do not condone or support illicit or irresponsible substance use. Psychedelics may be a jumping-off point for discussion, but our focus is on thoughtful, professional, and personally enriching conversations.
Join us for an evening of insight, camaraderie, and shared responsibility in shaping the future of this space.
