Mendel Kaelen: A Journey With A Thousand Faces – Music In Psychedelic Therapy | Webinar October 7th 2025

Why can the same piece of music wrap one listener in love and safety, while leaving another feeling terrified and disoriented? We’ll take a look at this question with neuroscientist and musician Mendel Kaelen. Held on October 7th, this webinar lecture introduces an integrative perspective on the therapeutic use of music in psychedelic-assisted therapy. In drawing on insights from neuroscience, human development, evolutionary and psychodynamic theory, it aims to shed light on how the ambiguous dimensions of music can be understood and harnessed in clinical practice. 

The webinar will take place on Tuesday October 7th at 6PM UTC+3. The event contains a Q&A section and the total length is 2 hours.
