Jeremy Nickel
Founder & CEO
Visionary Leader
Jeremy Nickel is a longtime spiritual leader and newly certified psychedelic-assisted therapist whose work bridges contemplative wisdom with forward-leaning technology. After years spent guiding communities in meditation, meaning-making, and transformative inner work, among them several UU congregations, he became an early pioneer in immersive digital wellness, first founding EvolVR, a spiritual community based in Virtual Reality, and later serving as VP of Community at TRIPP, the leading VR wellness app.
Mission-Driven Innovation
Recently he entered a new evolution as the founder of SomaQuest, where he's building next-generation therapeutic tools like KetReady, a digital preparation and integration platform designed specifically for ketamine clinics, as well as opening a psilocybin-assisted therapy practice in Boulder, CO. Through this journey his work continues to hold the same core intention: helping people connect with themselves and others more deeply, with presence, courage, and wonder.
