Jonathan de Potter is the Founder & CEO of Behold Retreats,  a bespoke wellness service
that facilitates journeys of self-discovery and transformation, supported by the scientifically
proven benefits of plant medicine therapy.

Jonathan is passionate about raising awareness on the benefits of plant medicine therapy,
and its potential to improve wellbeing and mental health outcomes. This led him to launch
Behold Retreats in 2020, providing curated programs incorporating a memorable plant
medicine retreat in a safe, legal and highly supported setting.

Jonathan has spent his career working in strategy consulting with clients across Asia-Pacific,
defining and delivering digital transformation programs.  After a number of years in New
Zealand, Jonathan moved to Hong Kong to work with Accenture, and most recently lived in
Bangkok as country manager for the boutique consulting firm Capco.

Jonathan felt that – despite an objectively great life, good friends and career success,
something intangible was missing.  As a result, Jonathan took a sabbatical year to travel
through South America, where he attended his first Ayahuasca plant medicine retreat in
Peru. The retreat experience was transformational, and in his expanded state of
consciousness, Jonathan was shown directly the mindsets and behaviors that were keeping
him from reaching his potential.

Returning to the corporate world, Jonathan was surprised
to find he was more patient, empathetic and productive than ever before, and began
researching the world of plant medicine, and facilitating retreats.

Originally from Hawaii, USA, Jonathan is currently based in Bangkok, Thailand, traveling
often to continue his research into the best plant medicine retreat centres around the
world.

He enjoys yoga, meditation, surfing, and is energized by big, bold ideas.
