The Beckley Foundation is a charitable trust that promotes the investigation of consciousness and its modulation from a multidisciplinary perspective. The research we support aims to make significant theoretical advances that will also help develop practical applications: to ameliorate mental illness; comfort the dying; and enhance health, creativity and well-being.
The mainstay of the foundation's work is to direct and support world-class research into the practices used to alter our conscious state, and the policies that seek to regulate some of these practices. Our activities include:
Initiating and directing scientific and policy research programmes
Hosting high level seminars
Writing academic reports
Creating networks of academics, professionals, and policymakers
Disseminating information to academics, health professionals, policymakers and the public
Maintaining a website which contains all our publications, as well as an extensive online library with over 10,000 scientific papers and articles. In 2006, our website was selected by the British Library for inclusion in its Website Preservation Programme.
The Beckley Foundation was founded and is directed by Amanda Feilding, Lady Neidpath.

Sad news: "At 102, still vital in all his senses, Albert Hofmann passed on to join his beloved Anita, who died four months earlier. He was an inspiration to all who knew and loved him.
The Beckley Foundation was honoured to have Albert as our founding Scientific Advisor".

"I believe that if people would learn to use LSD's vision-inducing capability more wisely, under suitable conditions, in medical practice and in conjunction with meditation, then in the future this problem child could become a wonderchild."
Albert Hofmann (1906-2008)
