Kdo se je poročil s Amanda Feilding?

Amanda Claire Marian Charteris, Countess of Wemyss and March (née Feilding; 30 January 1943 – 22 May 2025) was an English drug policy reformer, lobbyist, and research coordinator. In 1998, she founded the Foundation to Further Consciousness, later renamed to the Beckley Foundation, a charitable trust which initiates, directs, and supports neuroscientific and clinical research into the effects of psychoactive substances on the brain and cognition. She also co-authored over 50 papers published in peer-reviewed journals, according to the Foundation. The central aim of her research was to investigate new avenues of treatment for such mental illnesses as depression, anxiety, and addiction, as well as to explore methods of enhancing well-being and creativity.

Feilding was a proponent of utilising the cognitive effects of cannabis since the 1960s. She experimented with trepanning, drilling a hole into her skull in 1970 to expose the dura mater, a technique used in some cultures to treat mental illness, and considered by some to provide a calming effect or a higher state of consciousness. She was also a proponent of the use of LSD to trigger long-term improvements in creativity.

Feilding received the Women's Entrepreneurship Day Organization’s Science Pioneer Award at the United Nations in 2022. The award, also recognised by the US Congress, highlights women entrepreneurs. In addition to the Beckley Foundation, Feilding founded numerous other organizations including Beckley Waves, Beckley Retreats, and Beckley Psytech.

Joseph Mellen (born September 1939) is the British-born author of Bore Hole, a book about his attempts at self-trepanation, influenced by Bart Huges, and his eventual success with the help of his partner Amanda Feilding.

Mellen and Feilding lived together from the late 1960s until the early 1990s. They had two sons, Rock Basil Hugo Feilding-Mellen (born 1979) and Cosmo Birdie Feilding-Mellen (born 1985). Rock Feilding-Mellen was a local councillor and cabinet member for housing, property and regeneration with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Following the Grenfell Tower fire and its aftermath, he resigned.

In 1994 Mellen met Jenny Gathorne-Hardy, who was trepanned in 1995. Their son Rudy Blu was born in 1996 and they were married later that year; their daughter Lily was born in 2012.
