Scott Stanley discusses his mission to protect religious freedom and access to psychedelic sacraments through his organizations.
My guest this week is Scott Stanley, founder of the Arizona Yage Assemble ( AYA ), and the North American Association of Visionary Church, NAAVC.org . Scott's mission is to protect religious freedom, practice, and association as well as access to psychedelic sacraments. To that end he's founded the aforementioned groups to help create collective action and strength in numbers. We talk all about it in this lengthy interview, getting into what inspired Scott to follow this path, how these organizations help those seeking support in their religious practice, as well as a current court case.
