Our private psilocybin ceremony is designed for those ready to go inward—with expert guidance, clear structure, and strong ethical standards

We use high-quality, full-spectrum psilocybin mushrooms in a controlled, confidential one-on-one setting. This is not a group retreat or recreational experience. It's a guided, intentional journey—held by a trained facilitator who supports you every step of the way.

This work is about getting clear—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. People come to these sessions to process trauma, shift long-held patterns, or reconnect to something deeper within themselves.

Lasting Transformation Backed by Research:

Clinical studies from institutions like Johns Hopkins, Stanford, and NYU consistently show psilocybin’s potential for long-term mental and emotional wellbeing.

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

Below, you’ll find details about how our process works, what’s included, and how to take the next step.

Our ceremony structure is designed to guide you through a safe, intentional, and transformative experience. Here's what to expect:

1. Apply
Start by submitting an application. This helps us understand your background, intentions, and readiness for this work.

2. Introductory Call
If your application is accepted, we’ll schedule a free one-hour call to connect, answer your questions, and feel into alignment.

3. Set a Ceremony Date
There’s no rush. We’ll choose a date together that feels right—one that gives you time to prepare, and space afterward to rest and reflect.

4. Receive Your Preparation Materials
Once your ceremony is scheduled, you’ll receive a set of resources to support your inner readiness. These may include:

• A 30-day guided meditation course to cultivate calm and clarity

• Audio materials to support spiritual insight and emotional grounding

• Curated reading selections designed to help prime your body and mind for a psychedelic ceremony

• Guidance on daily practice, diet, movement, and mindset

5. Pre-Ceremony Prep Calls
Over the 30+ day period leading up to your ceremony, we’ll meet for a few 1-on-1 preparation sessions. These may include:

• Reviewing your progress and insights from the preparation materials

• Clarifying and refining your intentions

• Emotional or somatic self-inquiry

• Lifestyle and mindset guidance

6. Ceremony Day
Ceremonies begin around 11 a.m. and unfold slowly across the day. There’s no rush—we move at the pace of presence. Here's what to expect:

• Arrival & Grounding
  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 this journey.

Río is a psychedelic guide, integration 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 graduating Magna Cum Laude with an honors degree in Social Entrepreneurship from the University of Texas at Austin, he completed a Social Impact Incubator at Columbia University and was later accepted into the Master of Social Work 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.

We are based in:

• New York City and

• Oaxaca, Mexico

We operate on a 100% donation-based model, relying solely on contributions to remain sustainable. We are grateful for the generosity of our community, which has allowed us to continue this work.

If you feel called to experience this medicine, please complete our questionnaire to tell us about yourself and your intentions. If your submission is accepted, Rio, our director, will reach out to schedule a cost-free, one-hour consultation to discuss the journey ahead.
