Beckley Retreats

What Beckley Retreats does

Beckley Retreats is a U.S.-based Public Benefit Corporation that operates legal psilocybin-assisted retreat programs targeting accomplished professionals in their 40s-70s who are seeking transformative change rather than crisis intervention. Its core offerings are the 5-Night Signature Program and 4-Night Standard Program, delivered in Jamaica (Good Hope Estate, Coral Cove) and the Netherlands (De Hoorneboeg, The Place to Be), plus a Weekend Ketamine Program in California and specialty cohorts for medical doctors, executive coaches, veterans, women, and men. The product architecture is a three-phase protocol: a 4-week digital preparation phase, a 2- to 5-day on-site immersion with 1-2 guided psilocybin sessions supported by live music, breathwork, and meditation, and a 4- to 6-week digital integration phase. Pricing is one-time per guest and ranges from $2,500 to $12,500 depending on program length, location, and room type, with need-based financial aid totaling $300K+ across 67 recipients.

The underlying technology is a neuroscience-informed facilitation protocol derived from 25+ years of research at the Beckley Foundation and Imperial College London, including a landmark peer-reviewed study showing that psilocybin produces thousands of new neural connections visible on brain imaging. The company leverages affiliate research ties with Harvard and Yale via Head of Research Dr. AZA Allsop, and operates on a direct-to-consumer, application-based admission model with cohort enrollment through its website and the Retreat Guru booking platform, supported by content marketing, organic social, webinars, PR, and 1:1 consultation calls. To date the company has served 1,000+ guests since 2020, reports a 91 Net Promoter Score, 98% recommendation rate, and 76% of guests reporting improved behaviors, and is led by Co-Founder and CEO Neil Markey, Co-Founder and Board Member Rock Feilding-Mellen, COO Anja Saloranta, and CGO Fede Menapace, with co-founder Amanda Feilding honored posthumously.

Direct peers

• Synthesis Institute: Offers psilocybin truffle retreats in the Netherlands with a preparation-ceremony-integration structure. Direct overlap with Beckley's Netherlands offering (The Place to Be) on substance, geography, and target customer.
• Field Trip Health: Operated ketamine-assisted psychedelic therapy clinics across North America with a science-forward positioning similar to Beckley. Shares Beckley Foundation lineage (Amanda Feilding) and pursues the same professional/executive customer segment with comparable clinical framing.
• Mycotopia Therapy: Online booking and curation platform for psychedelic retreats worldwide. Competes for the same retreat-discovery customer journey and partners with retreat centers in Jamaica and the Netherlands that overlap Beckley's locations.
• Tandava Retreat: Legal psilocybin retreat provider operating in Jamaica with structured preparation and integration programming. Direct geographic and product overlap with Beckley's Jamaica locations.
• Silo Wellness: Early mover in legal psilocybin retreats in Jamaica with ketamine and plant-medicine offerings. Targets similar wellness-seeking professionals and competes on the same Caribbean retreat geography.
• Wise Medicine: Psilocybin-assisted therapy program operating in legal jurisdictions with a science-backed, professionally facilitated model. Comparable cohort-based, premium-priced offering targeting accomplished adults.
• Third Wave: Educational platform and directory for psychedelic retreats and microdosing. Competes with Beckley for the same educated, professional customer at the discovery and education funnel stage.

Broad incumbents

• Compass Pathways: Clinical-stage public company developing psilocybin therapy for treatment-resistant depression. Not a retreat operator, but a much larger, well-capitalized player in the same psilocybin ecosystem whose regulatory progress could either validate or disrupt Beckley's retreat model.
• MindMed: Public clinical-stage psychedelic medicine company developing LSD and MDMA therapies. Broad incumbent in the psychedelic mental-health space with scientific credibility that parallels Beckley's research positioning but at far greater scale.
• atai Life Sciences: Public holding company backing multiple psychedelic mental-health programs. Operates broadly across psilocybin, DMT, and ibogaine development with deep capital, representing both a potential acquirer of Beckley's clinical pipeline and a long-term competitive threat.
