As co-founder and CEO of Beckley Retreats, Neil is passionate about sharing the science-backed benefits of psychedelics in conjunction with the contemplative practices that support holistic wellbeing. Neil was A Captain in the US Army Special Operations 2nd Ranger Battalion, and had been deployed once to Iraq, and twice to Afghanistan. After returning, he was an MBA/ MIA masters student at Columbia University, and suffered from depression and PTSD. This led him to alternative wellbeing practices and marked the start of a profound healing journey with mindfulness and psychedelics. Neil credits meditation and plant therapy with saving his life. A curious mathematician from a young age, Neil now sees no real divide between science and spirituality. We really enjoyed our conversation with Neil and enjoyed learning about the healing power of meditation and psychedelics in his personal experience and now through the community he has cultivated through Beckley Retreats.
