What happens when a priest of 20 years encounters the Divine through a clinical psilocybin session? Former Episcopal leader Hunt Priest joins the Austin & Matt Podcast to discuss his participation in the groundbreaking 2016 Johns Hopkins study. Hunt deconstructs the "shattering" of childhood trauma, the physical activation of energy centers (chakras) in a Christian context, and the healing potential of psychedelic therapy for chronic anxiety. We explore why the church has lost its "woo" and how the "original" ecstatic roots of the faith are being rediscovered in modern labs. Key Topics: • The mixed-faith clergy cohort: Results from Priests, Rabbis, and Imams. • Body as Temple: The locomotive, energetic force of the Holy Spirit. • Moving from "Head Work" back to "Heart Work".
