Episode #249: This week on Balance Your Life podcast I am joined by Neil Markey. Neil is the co-founder and CEO of Beckley Retreats, the world’s only psychedelics retreat program backed by 25 years of scientific research and an ecosystem of expertise that honors global wisdom traditions. A former Captain in the US Army Special Operations 2nd Ranger Battalion Neil served in Iraq and Afghanistan before studying at Columbia University, where he struggled with depression and PTSD. This led him to explore mindfulness and psychedelics as part of his healing journey.

On this episode we discuss what are psychedelics; what are the benefits of using them and what does the science say about them, and how they played a role in Neil’s healing journey. We also talk about what a Beckley retreat entails, what someone could experience on these types of retreats, and other mindful practices Neil does daily as part of a healthy lifestyle, and so much more!
