Happiness journey with Dr Dan podcast: Season 25 Ep 8: Special Guest and discussing about the benefits of psychadelics, Neil Markey

Neil, co-founder and CEO of Beckley Retreats, is passionate about promoting the science-backed benefits of psychedelics and contemplative practices to support holistic well-being. A former Captain in the US Army Special Operations 2nd Ranger Battalion, he served in Iraq and Afghanistan before pursuing dual master’s degrees at ColumbiaUniversity, where he confronted depression and PTSD. This sparked a profound healing journey with mindfulness and psychedelics.

Previously, Neil served as Chief Growth Officer for a $450M private equity portfolio and worked at McKinsey & Co., co-leading its mindfulness program. He credits meditation and plant-based therapies with saving his life and believes in bridging science with spirituality. Inspired by Einstein’s words on miracles, Neil is dedicated to helping others heal and grow through his work at Beckley Retreats.
