Religion, Spirituality, and Psychedelics – A Conversation with Hunt Priest & Sughra Ahmed

Religion, Spirituality, and Psychedelics – A Conversation with Hunt Priest & Sughra Ahmed

In this special interview, we bring you a rare and moving interfaith conversation between two spiritual leaders who are helping to reshape the relationship between religion and psychedelics. Hunt Priest is an Episcopal priest and the founder of Legatum, a Christian psychedelic society. Sughra Ahmed is a British Muslim scholar and community leader, and one of the first Muslims to participate in the silent psilocybin study designed for religious professionals. We sat down with both of them at Psychedelic Science 2025 in Denver, where they reflected on their personal journeys, the challenges and promises of psychedelic use within religious traditions, and how these experiences can open doors for deeper understanding — not just within their faiths, but between them.
