In early 2016, Hunt Priest was a fortunate participant in a psilocybin study involving religious professionals.
His encounters with psilocybin opened him to the healing and consciousness-raising power of sacred plants and fungi and their connection to his own Christian practice. The epiphanies forever changed the trajectory of his work.
Through Ligare, Hunt wants the healing power of these sacred plants to be in the toolkits of all who are healers of bodies, minds, and souls. Part of this entails actively collaborating to bridge the knowledge gap between psychedelic research and religious and spiritual communities. The other part is providing a network and community of like-minded people who have had such positive experiences and wish to have continued fellowship together.
