Personal reflections from people who have taken part in a Beckley Retreat.

Jim MacPhee
“Every leader in America should go through this program.”
Jim MacPheeFormer COO, Walt Disney World · Two-time Beckley guest
“I did a lot of research around wellbeing programs with safe, legal and ceremonial use of plants and found Beckley Retreats. I manifested for two years that I wanted a life-changing experience like this. Now here I am, I’ve done it and it has been amazing.”
Mujo O.Social Innovators Accelerator Lead, Fortune 500 Management Consulting Firm
“I am walking away from this retreat with new found love in my heart. And I am humbled. Feeling cleansed and restored.”
Toni KoFounder, NYX Cosmetics (sold to L’Oréal)

Before you take the next step

A few things
to know.

How do I know if this is right for me?

The assessment is a starting point. It helps you explore fit and the practical commitments. Participation also requires an application and suitability screening. Completing the assessment does not confirm eligibility.

Do I need previous experience?

You can explore Beckley whether this is new to you or part of an established practice. The team will help you consider your experience, expectations and suitability for the program.

How much time do I need away?

The programs shown here involve four nights in the Netherlands or five nights in Jamaica, plus travel. Preparation and integration take place online from home. Other program formats may have different lengths.

What does the program include?

The full program combines online preparation, the facilitated retreat and online integration. Our team can confirm accommodation, room options, dates and other inclusions for your chosen program before you book.

What happens after I request details?

Your inquiry goes to the Beckley team, who can help with dates, room options and program questions. You can also take the fit assessment as a next step. There is no commitment to book.
