Intro/Motivation for Page
I’ve barely mentioned this good church. Couldn’t attend today b/c no local gathering and remote tech failed. So took a moment to start this page.
The #1 leading Psychedelic church. Multi-sacrament, which is unusual.
Church Website
Visit the Church to Study It

Article about someone who is visiting the church to study it like rats:

Ligare.org
https://www.ligare.org – “Ligare is an open network of people who believe that Christianity and other existing religious traditions offer paths for preparing for, experiencing, finding meaning, and integrating mystical experiences [mere Staceanism? beginners’ initial unity experience?], including [NO! exclusively Psilocybin mushrooms, the authentic Reference, thank you very much] those occasioned by sacred plants and compounds.”
blurb: https://www.ligare.org/about —
“Our mission is to weave a vibrant and interconnected tapestry, cultivating networks that bridge Christian faith institutions, interfaith organizations, mental health advocates, and the psychedelic community.
“Through thoughtful convening, network development, and collaborative partnerships across multiple institutions, we aim to empower and educate religious leaders and communities about the profound opportunities and significant challenges within the resurgence of psychedelics.
“We are committed to nurturing the spiritual leaders of today and tomorrow, transcending traditional roles and empowering individuals historically excluded from power.
“Our focus extends to supporting clergy and spiritual directors in understanding how psychedelic healing might be integrated into their pastoral care and spiritual companioning ministries and engaging with seminaries and chaplaincy programs to cultivate the next generation of spiritual leaders.
“To effect change, we initiate a narrative shift, transforming the often-negative narrative around psychedelics within the context of the Christian tradition.
“Through a variety of media and storytelling tactics, we assist people of faith in sharing their psychedelic experiences and are producing a long-form documentary on Christianity and psychedelics.
[probably falsely takes for granted that Psychedelics are “new” for Christianity – never mind the Medieval heyday eg Eadwine. Ref cit: McC & Priest, mid 2024 article in the Journal of Psychedelic Studies, where — against Winkelman & Brown, the authors including Hunt Priest are dismissive of psychedelic origin of Christianity, and failed to respond to repeated calls from Wink&Brown:

“As a go-to resource hub for Christianity and psychedelics, we are dedicated to generating knowledge.
“Our education and outreach initiatives include developing curricula, safety guidelines, and theological frameworks.
“We commission original research and surveys to better understand Christian attitudes toward psychedelics.
“At the heart of Ligare is the community we foster.
“We are a home for Christians exploring psychedelics and supportive spiritual practices.
“Our efforts include hosting forums and affinity groups, supporting working groups within our community, and encouraging solidarity within the broader psychedelic movement.
“We aspire to create self-sustaining wisdom schools focused on the intersection of psychedelics and contemplative Christianity, providing a space for deepening spiritual life.”
[This church is good for being psychedelic, but the word “contemplation” aka the meditation hucksters – who is the Christianity book author who claimed the traditional non-drug methods of the mystics? who Irvin & I sep’ly criticized as BS]
Hunt Priest, from About page
Meet Hunt Priest
In early 2016, I was a fortunate participant in a psilocybin study involving religious professionals.[!]

Priest wrote:
“My encounters with psilocybin opened me to the healing and consciousness-raising power of sacred plants and fungi and their connection to my own Christian practice.
“The epiphanies forever changed the trajectory of my work.
Through Ligare, I want the healing potential of these sacred plants to be in the toolkits of all who are healers of bodies, minds, and souls.
“A significant part of my work, and Ligare’s, entails actively collaborating to bridge the knowledge gap between psychedelic research and religious and spiritual communities.
“Theses substances are powerful, so safety is of utmost concern.”

Can’t Have Church, Because No Internet
I can’t tell if the Sunday Satsang (service) even occurred today.
The church has plenty of problems, technical & otherwise, for any group.
Seems like the online meeting link failed, like happened multiple times w/ the book club.
Which means that if people get together in a subsidiary city/region, they need backup plan in case the technology fails, from the mother church location.
I don’t have experience with tech-networked multi-location churches.
Problems – The Problem Is You
partial lyrics by Sex Pistols, for scholarly study
Too many problems, oh why am I here?
I need to be me, ’cause you’re all too clear
And I can see there’s something wrong with you
But what do you expect me to do?
You don’t do what you want
Then you’ll fade away
Problem, problem
Problem, the problem is you
What you gonna do?
I ain’t equipment, I ain’t automatic
Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about
Bet you thought you’d solved all your problems
But you are the problem
They know a doctor, gonna take you away
They’ll take you away and throw away the key

Rock Lobster
partial lyrics by B-52s, for scholarly study
Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of troubles
Lots of bubbles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz65vonktMA&t=122s = 2:02
Little Dolls
todo: add: Blizzard of Ozz band: Little Dolls song: eg:
When it’s your time I wonder how you’ll do
The Little Doll is you, yeah
Nowhere to run, your fate is in his hands, your time has come [etc]
