Hunt Priest

Hunt Priest, MDiv, based in Savannah, Georgia, is a former Episcopal priest and the founder of Ligare: A Christian Psychedelic Society. After two decades of pastoral ministry and a pivotal experience in a Johns Hopkins psilocybin clergy study in 2016, Priest is a leading proponent of integrating psychedelics and Christian spiritual care. In August, he was removed from ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church due to concerns about his public advocacy regarding psychedelics. Despite the change in his ordination status, Hunt continues to lead Ligare and encourages church leaders to find their ministry at the intersection of Christian faith and practice and psychedelic exploration.
