The Deeper Work: Psilocybin, Psychedelic Research, and a Guided Retreat
August 14, 2026 12:30 PM PT 03:30 PM ET
Psilocybin is changing the conversation about personal growth, emotional healing, and the mind’s capacity to form new patterns.
This October, MEA and Beckley Retreats will bring a small group to Jamaica for The Deeper Work, a five-night guided experience that includes two guided psilocybin ceremonies, contemplative practices, live music, and support before and after the retreat.
Join MEA faculty member and therapist Lori Schwanbeck for a live conversation with Beckley Retreats’ COO Anja Saloranta and co-founder and CEO Neil Markey. Together, they’ll share the research and thinking behind psychedelic treatments, along with a candid look at what responsible psychedelic work involves.
You’ll hear about:
-
What scientists are learning about psilocybin and the brain
-
How guests are screened, prepared, and supported
-
What happens during a professionally guided ceremony
-
Why and how the work continues after you return home
