Neil Markey´s journey is nothing short of remarkable. A former U.S. Army captain, Neil’s life took a transformative turn when he faced challenges with mental health and burnout, ultimately leading him to discover the power of psychedelics and meditation. Now, as CEO of Beckley Retreats, Neil is at the forefront of merging ancient wisdom with modern science. Beckley Retreats is the world's only legal psychedelic program that is backed by 25 years of science while honoring ancestral traditions. By combining the psilocybin retreat experience with preparation and integration support by world-leading facilitators and incorporating holistic wellbeing practices, participants are provided the tools for meaningful change. In this episode, we explore a range of topics: the legendary Amanda Feilding, the unity of science and spirituality, meditation as the foundation of well-being, connecting with a higher power, why mushrooms are a human right and an exciting look at the upcoming Beckley Retreats in Jamaica and the Netherlands.
