About

Brooklyn Psychedelic is a New York–based practice offering psilocybin-assisted healing and integration coaching for those seeking transformation.

We don’t treat symptoms or label people as broken. Instead, we work with you to reconnect to the wisdom, clarity, and wholeness that already lives within you. Psychedelic tools like psilocybin mushrooms don’t do the healing—they help reveal what’s always been true: that your authentic self is whole, wise, and ready to be realized.

Our approach is holistic and personal, rooted in the belief that deep healing happens when your full story is seen, your intentions are honored, and your path is supported. We walk with you before, during, and after the journey—helping you integrate what you’ve discovered into real, lasting change.

You’ll never be rushed, pushed, or pathologized here. This is sacred work. Every step is guided with care, respect, and the understanding that real change unfolds over time. Whether you’re navigating grief, seeking clarity, or longing to connect to something deeper, we’re here to offer grounded, soulful support—at your pace, in your way.

Current Offering

  • Our private psilocybin ceremony is designed for those ready to go inward—with support, structure, and integrity.

    We use high-quality, full-spectrum psilocybin mushrooms in a controlled, confidential setting. This is not a group retreat or recreational experience. It's a professional, one-on-one experience facilitated by a trained guide who is with you from start to finish.

    This work is about getting clear—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. People come to these sessions to move through trauma, reset their patterns, or reconnect to something deeper.

    Our work is focused, intentional, and backed by research.

    Clinical studies from institutions like Johns Hopkins and NYU consistently show psilocybin’s potential for long-term psychological benefit. According to studies:

    • 87% report increased life satisfaction for months or years after a single psilocybin session

    • 70% say a single psilocybin session ranks among the most meaningful experiences of their lives—alongside getting married or the birth of a child

    This offering is designed for lasting change—not just a powerful experience. You’ll find the details below about how our process works, what’s included, who you’ll be working with, and how to take the next step.

      We begin with breathwork and meditation to settle the body and mind.

    • Optional Cacao Ceremony
      A heart-opening ritual to connect with gratitude and intention.

    • Create Your Sacred Space
      You’re welcome to bring meaningful items—candles, photos, letters, flowers. These become part of your altar and help create a space that feels rooted and personal.

    • Intention & Flight Instructions
      We’ll revisit your intention and walk through what to expect—how to surrender, navigate discomfort, and stay connected to your inner guide.

    • The Journey
      After receiving your personalized psilocybin dose, you’ll lie back with an eye mask and curated music. Your guide stays fully present throughout, holding space with care and attunement as you journey inward.

    • No Rush
      There’s no fixed timeline. We honor the rhythm of the medicine—and your unique unfolding. It takes the time it takes.

    • Closing & Sharing
      When you return, we’ll close the space with gratitude and gentle reflection. If you feel called, you’re invited to share what’s present. Integration begins here.

    7. Post-Ceremony Integration Support
    After your ceremony, we’ll meet a couple more times for private integration sessions. These conversations help you:

    • Make meaning from your experience

    • Integrate insights into daily life

    • Stay grounded as the medicine continues to unfold

    Integration is where insights take root and transformation unfolds. It’s not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a new way of being. We’re here to help you carry what you’ve discovered into the life that’s waiting for you.

  • This process is not just about psychedelics—it’s about you. The entire arc of preparation, ceremony, and integration is designed to awaken something lasting within you. Even without taking a psychedelic, the combined work we will walk through lays a foundation for deep inner growth, emotional clarity, and spiritual transformation.

    Psychedelics are not the path—you are the path. Your presence, your courage, your inner wisdom. The medicine simply helps you remember what’s already true.

    When held with intention and reverence, a psychedelic ceremony can illuminate that truth, offering you tools, insights, and ways of being that you can carry for the rest of your life.

    We’re honored to walk beside you in your journey.

  • Río is a psychedelic guide, coach, and the founder of Brooklyn Psychedelic. He’s guided hundreds of people through psilocybin and ayahuasca ceremonies across Mexico, Peru, and the U.S.

    His path has led him from the Amazon rainforest, where he apprenticed with Shipibo elders, to the Himalayas, where he trained in yoga, meditation, and breathwork. He spent years in Oaxaca studying mushroom medicine—including the lineage of María Sabina—and has walked with the Wixárika people of Northern Mexico, guardians of the sacred Peyote cactus.

    Río also brings a strong academic foundation to his work. After earning a degree in Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Texas at Austin, he completed a Social Impact Incubator at Columbia University and was later accepted into the Social Work Master’s programs of both Columbia University and the NYU Silver School of Social Work.

    Ultimately, however, Río brings presence. He meets each person with openness and respect—without judgment, and without agenda. His role is not to fix or heal, but to help create a safe, sacred space where your own inner healer can emerge.
