Psychedelic sacrament: Matthew Zemon on sacred medicine and spiritual revival

On this episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and spiritual practitioner Matt Zemon to discuss how psychedelic mushrooms are becoming a sacrament to reconnect people with their spiritual nature, a method to break free from the egoic mind and find holistic perspective.Matt Zemon is executive director of the Council on Spiritual Practices, an organization that for over three decades has been dedicated to making experiences of the sacred more available to more people. He holds a Doctor of Ministry from Pacific School of Religion, specializing in psychedelics in religious practice, and a Master of Science in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King's College London.The author of six books on psychedelics, religion, and healing, most recently “Ordinary Mystics: Psychedelics, Faith, and the Reclaiming of Direct Spiritual Experience,” he serves an entheogenic faith community and understands direct spiritual experience to be rooted in religious tradition and protected under existing law.We discuss how such medicine works to help people transcend the limits of materialistic thinking, and how it may address the ongoing loss of meaning in human society.To learn more: www.mattzemon.com.—--------------------------Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---Please don’t forget to like and subscribe. On X:@jfrickingfaulk
