Course Description

Music for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is an insightful workshop that delves into the nuances of incorporating music in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). Participants will explore the selection and arrangement of tracks, the synchronization of music and sound effects with the effects of ketamine, and the strategic use of transference and countertransference in the context of music. The course emphasizes the multifaceted role of the facilitator, who acts both as a therapist and a sonic alchemist, in utilizing music to augment the dissociative properties of ketamine and cultivate an expansive state of mind characterized by vivid and symbolic mental imagery.

The course offers a hands-on approach by sharing specific examples of tracks and curated playlists, and through experiential learning exercises, enabling participants to comprehend the different phases of the sonic journey. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have gained a deep understanding of the techniques involved in curating music sets for ketamine sessions to enhance patients’ therapeutic processes. This understanding will empower them to support patients in accessing new dimensions of consciousness and foster healing from conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

About Instructor

Tatayo (“Fruit of the Wind”) first arrived in Gabon in 1971 at the age of 21 and became a Gabonese citizen. In 1979, he became the first white person to be initiated into the Bwiti Fang tradition in Gabon. In 1994, he was initiated into the Misokko tradition. As a guide for numerous expeditions and missions, including those of National Geographic, the BBC, and others, Tatayo is considered to have “opened the door” to westerners in Gabon.
