In this episode, Fred interviews Hunt Priest - Former Episcopal Priest, Psychedelics Researcher, Advocate & Spiritual Director at: https://www.ligare.org/

Hunt is former rector of Saint Peters Episcopal Church, Savannah, GA.

Hunt is founder & executive director of Ligare, focusing on the healing power of psychedelics in a legal Christian framework.

Hunt was a participant in the Johns Hopkins/NYU “Psilocybin for Religious Leaders Study” in 2016.

Meet Hunt:

...In early 2016, I was a fortunate participant in a psilocybin study involving religious professionals. My encounters with psilocybin opened me to the healing and consciousness-raising power of sacred plants and fungi and their connection to my own Christian practice. The epiphanies forever changed the trajectory of my work.

Through Ligare, I want the healing potential of these sacred plants to be in the toolkits of all who are healers of bodies, minds, and souls. A significant part of my work, and Ligare’s, entails actively collaborating to bridge the knowledge gap between psychedelic research and religious and spiritual communities. Theses substances are powerful, so safety is of utmost concern.
