Sam Gandy is an ecologist, writer and researcher with a PhD in ecological science from the University of Aberdeen and an MRes in entomology from Imperial College London. He has been involved with the cutting edge of psychedelic research, working as Scientific Assistant to the Director of the Beckley Foundation, and as a collaborator with the Psychedelic Research Group at Imperial College London. Sam is also an innovation leader with Ecosulis, offering nature-based solutions and accelerating local and global rewilding projects. 

This conversation spans easing existential anxiety, psilocybin-assisted therapy and the hopeful reintroduction of beavers across Britain. Could social projects of regeneration be married to psychedelic-assisted therapy? What other ways can we innovate more nature connection and regeneration, whilst also healing our inner and outer landscapes?
