The mission of Beckley Waves is to support the infrastructure for safe, legal and accessible psychedelic experiences for therapeutic purposes and the betterment of the well.
“The Trip Report Podcast is an opportunity to learn firsthand from the pioneers and builders of the psychedelic renaissance, who are working to expand safe access, and to increase our knowledge about the potential benefits of these remarkable compounds.

Psychedelic-assisted therapies enable deeper exploration of one’s mind and are increasingly shown to improve mental health conditions like depression, PTSD and addiction. Psychedelic experiences are regularly touted as some of the most meaningful experiences of people’s lives. The Trip Report by Beckley Waves, following in the footsteps of Amanda Feilding, stems from her pioneering research and instrumental contributions through the Beckley Foundation, which has also been on the forefront of reshaping global drug policy.
“We’re very excited to launch The Trip Report Podcast as a supporting role in the overall mission of Beckley Waves,” said Zach Haigney, host of The Trip Report. “By sharing the stories and insights of the leaders and visionaries at the front lines of the emerging psychedelic space, we can reach new audiences with our vision of how these remarkable compounds can change individuals and societies for the better.”
