History

Beckley Retreats was founded in 2021 by Amanda Feilding, Neil Markey, and others in the psychedelics field. Its first retreat took place in September 2022 in Jamaica and hosted approximately 20 guests. Feilding's personal experience with psychedelics inspired the retreats.

Retreats consist of multi-night stays and include mindfulness, meditation, and yoga. Retreat programs include pre-retreat preparation and post-program integration. During the retreats, participants consume psilocybin through tea or capsules, with ceremonies facilitated by therapists, physicians, and musicians and lasting approximately six hours.
