Matt Zemon serves as Executive Director of the Council on Spiritual Practices (CSP), a non-profit working since 1993 at the intersection of religion, science, and direct spiritual experience. CSP has supported research, convened scholars, and helped shape the modern public conversation around entheogens and constitutional protection of religious practice.
Their library of research, code of ethics, and publications is one of the most carefully curated resources in the field.
