33: Music For Psychedelic Therapy - Mendel Kaelen, Founder and CEO of Wavepaths

From reggae and cannabis to the icaros of an Ayahuasca ceremony, sound has a huge impact on altered states of consciousness, but what’s actually going on scientifically and how can we use this to improve the outcomes of psychedelic therapy? Today’s guest, Mendel Kaelen founder of Wavepaths, has researched the subject extensively. On the show, we discuss how music and psychedelics reinforce each other exponentially. We talk about the importance of “tone color” and other aspects of structured sound for the experience of healing. Mendel shares about his creation Wavepaths, which he considers more of a musical instrument than software. Finally we explore traditional Ayahuasca icaros, the scared songs of the Amazon. Mendel is the founder and CEO of Wavepaths, a company that is researching the psychotherapeutic potential of music and creating a tool for therapists. Mendel was also a PhD and postdoctoral neuroscientist at Imperial College London, where among other research, he investigated the role of music in psychedelic therapies.

Mendel Kaelen (Wavepaths): The Science of Psychedelics & Sound

Mendel Kaelen is a neuroscientist, CEO &amp; Co founder of Wavepaths.  Wavepaths is a well-being startup whose vision is to restore our innate capacities to heal through music by creating soundscapes for psychedelic therapy and as psychedelic therapy. Mendel is a pioneer in psychedelic research and has connected the significance of music and its potential to enhance the journey and senses whilst creating a healing experience. Mendel is helping shape the future of mental health by creating powerful sonic experiences. Throughout history music has been used to heal, and I believe that how Wavepaths combine this emotional reconnection through sound, psychedelics and therapeutic guidance to be a modern scientific approach to an ancient art.
