Paul Nolan: The Healing Power of Music and Psychedelics
All the best DJs I know are actually ayahuasca shamans, because they've got the same thing that a DJ has got: they know when to play the exact right piece of music at the exact right time.
What happens when electronic music and psychedelics collide in a journey towards wellness? Paul Nolan, an artist, audio engineer, producer, sound designer, and sound therapist, sits down with Matthew Dunehoo on MINDBEND to share his unique story. Known for his energetic presence in the club scene, Paul managed to inspire without the aid of 'club drugs'. Instead, he embraced the therapeutic potential of psychedelics later in life.
Now, he's involved with organizations like MAPS and Microdose, helping to shape how electronic music is used in healing practices. This episode dives into Paul's experiences with ayahuasca ceremonies, the evolution of electronic music, and how the UK is catching up in the conversation around MDMA and other compounds. Whether you're curious about the intersection of music and mental health or looking for inspiration on your own wellness journey, Paul's insights are sure to resonate.
