Neil Markey is the co-founder and CEO of Beckley Retreats.  The Beckley Foundation has been instrumental in furthering psychedelic research and influencing policy, enabling access to safe, legal, and transformative psychedelic ceremonies.  Neil is adamant that plant treatment and meditation were significant factors in preserving his life. After being a Captain in the US Army Special Operations 2nd Ranger Battalion, Neil enrolled at Columbia University. During this time, Neil struggled with depression and PTSD. This prompted him to investigate psychedelics and mindfulness to start working on his healing journey and develop coping mechanisms. Now, along with the rest of the team at Beckley Retreats, Neil is eager to share with others the science-backed benefits of psychedelics that can improve overall holistic well-being.

Psychedelics can offer unique pathways to healing trauma, but their use demands care, intention, and understanding. Join us as we discuss the science backing psychedelics, personal stories of transformation, and practical insights on microdosing and retreat experiences.

• The difference between microdosing and full dosing effectiveness 
• Importance of safe, intentional use in guided settings
