Christianity Beyond Itself w/Hunt Priest: Psychedelics & Christian Ministry

n this dialogue with Hunt Priest, we explore how psychedelics can support a rediscovery of the fire of the holy spirit, reconnection with God re-imagining of the symbolic depth of Christianity. We consider the perennial tensions between the alive spirit and the church as institution. Colonial mindsets and evangelism. The Church's relationship to indigenous cultures. Jesus as Shaman and the overlaps between Shamanism and Christianity in the work of Mircea Eliade. Hunt Priest is the Executive Director and Founder of Ligare - A Christian Psychedelic Society. Hunt is a former Episcopal priest who, after a profound mystical experience during a psilocybin research study at Johns Hopkins, founded Ligare to help Christians explore psychedelic healing within a religious context.https://www.ligare.org/Jacob Kishere is a professional dialogue facilitator, writer, rapper, and philosopher.
