Neil Markey is the CEO of Beckley Retreats, an organization that offers psychedelic wellness retreats with the aim to bridge the latest scientific research with ancient wisdom traditions to create the richest possible experience for their participants.

In this episode, Neil and I talk about the framework of a psychedelic retreat and how this kind of plant medicine is being used for therapeutic purposes to create transformational opportunities and lasting change. If you’ve ever been curious about psychedelic tourism, this episode is for you!

Disclaimer: This episode discusses using psychedelics and plant medicines, which are illegal in most countries. This is not medical advice and should not be taken as a recommendation to use psychedelics. The topic of suicide is mentioned in this episode.

Would you go on a psychedelic retreat? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.
