Willy Schweitzer

Willy Schweitzer is a dedicated philanthropist, entrepreneur, and passionate European who has devoted his later years to advancing psychedelic-assisted therapy. With a deep commitment to scientific integrity and ethical implementation, he has played a pivotal role in supporting the MIND Foundation and OVID Clinic Berlin.

A self-made entrepreneur, Willy built a successful career in the printing and publishing industries before transitioning into philanthropy. His journey into the world of psychedelics was born from personal experience—initially through Jungian psychoanalysis and later through profound psychedelic experiences that reshaped his understanding of consciousness, spirituality, and human connection.

With over 25 years of experience exploring altered states of consciousness, Willy champions the responsible integration of psychedelic substances into mainstream mental health care. He envisions a future where these therapies are legal, accessible, and embedded in a supportive, well-regulated framework. As a firm believer in personal and collective transformation, he emphasizes the importance of community, responsible guidance, and scientific rigor in psychedelic therapy.

Beyond his work in mental health, Willy is a staunch advocate for European unity. His commitment to collaboration, openness, and social cohesion is reflected in his support for initiatives like Pulse of Europe. He believes that the values of interconnectedness—so central to both his psychedelic experiences and his European identity—hold the key to a more compassionate and inclusive society.
