Difficult psychedelic experiences can be frightening. What can you do to help someone having a difficult psychedelic experience? Sara Gael and Ryan Beauregard of the Zendo Project provide tools and information on how to work with challenging experiences, and offer a platform for honest and responsible conversations about substance use.
 
Sara Gael is Director of Harm Reduction at the Zendo Project and Ryan Beauregard is the Manager of the Zendo Project. They coordinate harm reduction services at festivals and events worldwide, and are passionate advocates for the healing potential of psychedelic therapy and experience.
