Book your intro call, get oriented, and take your next right step toward psychedelic mushroom therapy in NYC. This page is your on-ramp to working toward a ceremony and gathers everything in one place—scheduling, preparation, education, integration, and FAQs. The tone of our work is trauma-informed, heart-led, and non-pathologizing. You are met exactly where you are.
Please Note: This is not just a psychedelic session.
Rather, it is a program of transformation — rooted in presence, designed for depth, and structured to support real, lasting change.
Yes, there is a psilocybin mushroom ceremony as part of the journey — a powerful, sacred, spiritual occurrence. But the ceremony is only one part of the overall process. The vital part is the inner work that happens before and after -- In the way you prepare, in the way you integrate, and in the way you choose to show up for yourself daily.
Even without the mushroom ceremony, many participants have shared that this process alone changed their lives, and that's kind of the point.
In truth, the medicine is you.
The intro call is a calm conversation—no pressure, no performance. We listen, sense for mutual fit, and outline a path that includes structured preparation (meditations, readings, intention work), a sacred ceremony day held with care, and integration to translate insight into real life.
Take a breath. Explore the sections below. When you’re ready, book a time that works.

What the Journey Looks Like
1. Application
Your journey began when you submitted your application — and are now reading this.
2. Introductory Call
If everything feels aligned, we’ll meet for a one-hour call — a chance to ask questions, feel into the connection, and determine if we’re a good mutual fit.
3. Scheduling a Ceremony
There’s no pressure, no timeline. We’ll find a date that gives you ample space to prepare, and time afterward to rest and integrate.
4. Preparation Materials
Once your date is confirmed, you’ll receive a full set of materials to support your inner readiness:
A 30-day guided meditation course
Audio teachings for insight and grounding
Curated readings to open the heart, steady the mind, and prime for a psychedelic ceremony
Lifestyle guidance around diet, movement, and intention
5. Preparation Sessions (2–3 Calls)
Over the weeks leading up to your ceremony, we’ll meet for a few private counseling sessions to explore:
Discussing spiritual concepts such as unitive consciousness, presence, non-duality
Discuss emotional themes arising and inner experience in the journey
Somatic practices for grounding and opening
Working with fear, grief, and the emotional body
Clarifying and refining your intention
Discussing the preparation materials you are engaging with
Process whatever else is arising
6. Ceremony Day
Ceremonies begin around noon and unfold slowly across the day. There is no rush — we move at the pace of presence.
We begin with grounding practices: breathwork, meditation, and relaxation
You’re invited to co-create a sacred space with personal altar items
We revisit your intention and walk through “flight instructions”: how to surrender, how to stay safe, and how to remember the truth
You’ll receive your personalized therapeutic dose, lie back with an eye mask and music, and journey inward
I remain in the space throughout, clearing and holding the energy with deep attunement
When the medicine completes its work, we return gently, reflect, discuss, and begin the integration
There is no time limit on the day; it takes the time it takes
7. Integration Support (2 Calls)
You will receive integration materials and guidance to support the unfolding of your post-ceremony processing
We’ll meet a couple of times for post-ceremony integration in the weeks after your ceremony. These counseling sessions help you:
Establish a daily practice (sadhana)
Anchor insights to become firmly rooted in your path
Make meaning of what you’ve seen
Carry forward the truth you touched
Integration is not the end — it’s the beginning of a new way of living and a daily process of ongoing transformation.

Hi ,
Thank you again for getting in touch — I’m grateful for the growing interest in Brooklyn Psychedelic.
Given the high volume of inquiries we receive, I’ve put together this overview to clarify what we offer through our one-on-one psilocybin ceremonies. Please read it carefully — it outlines the structure of the work and what’s expected, and will help you determine whether this is the right path for your healing journey.
I'll begin by saying, this is not just a psychedelic session. Rather, it's best to think of it as a program of transformation — rooted in presence, designed for depth, and structured to support real, lasting change.
Yes, there is a psilocybin mushroom ceremony — a powerful, sacred event. But the ceremony is only one part of the process. The deeper work happens before and after: In the way you prepare, in the way you integrate, and in the way you choose to show up for yourself.
Even without the mushroom medicine, many participants have shared that this process alone changed their lives. That’s the point.
The true medicine is within you.

6. Ceremony Day
Ceremonies begin around 11 a.m. and unfold slowly across the day. There is no rush — we move at the pace of presence.
We begin with grounding practices: breathwork, meditation, and optional cacao
You’re invited to co-create a sacred space with personal altar items
We revisit your intention and walk through “flight instructions”: how to surrender, how to stay safe, how to remember the truth
You’ll receive your personalized therapeutic dose, lie back with an eye mask and music, and journey inward

When the medicine completes its work, we return gently, reflect, and begin the integration
7. Integration Support (2 Calls)
We’ll meet again for post-ceremony integration — the most essential part of the work. These conversations help you:
Make meaning of what you’ve seen
Anchor insights into your body and daily life
Carry forward the truth you touched
Integration is not the end — it’s the beginning of a new way of living and a daily process of ongoing transformation.
A Note About The Dose
In leading clinical trials at Johns Hopkins and NYU Langone, researchers have found that 30–35 milligrams of psilocybin is the optimal therapeutic range to catalyze profound, lasting transformation. This is the same range we work with.
You can also think of it as a "heroic dose" (~4-5 grams) — a threshold experience that invites deep surrender and often evokes what researchers call “mystical-type” states: a felt sense of unity, clarity, emotional release, and sacred connection.
Our aim is to ensure that you won’t feel held back by dose-limited experiences. You won’t be left wondering if you took enough, or wishing you’d gone further. You’ll know you’ve stepped fully in.
The Deeper Intention
This work isn’t about psychedelics.
It’s about you.
Your presence. Your process. Your essential nature.
The medicine doesn’t fix you — it helps you remember that you were never broken.
I don’t push, pathologize, or rush.
It takes the time it takes.
Whether you’re moving through grief, transition, heartbreak, spiritual hunger, or simply the sense that there must be more — this is a space to turn inward, meet yourself fully, and reclaim what’s already yours.
Contribution
The suggested contribution is $1,300 which includes:
Intro session
Two to three pre-ceremony preparation sessions
Course Materials
A full-day one-on-one psilocybin ceremony

This offering is shared in the spirit of sacred reciprocity. The contribution reflects the depth of time, presence, and care this process requires, while remaining accessible for those who feel deeply called.
A Bit About Your Guide
I’m Río — a psychedelic guide, wellness coach, and meditation teacher. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of people through Psilocybin and Ayahuasca ceremonies across the U.S., Mexico, and Peru.
My path has taken me from the Amazon rainforest in Peru, where I apprenticed with Shipibo elders… to the mountains of Oaxaca, where I studied sacred mushroom medicine for years in the lineage of María Sabina… to the Himalayas in India, where I trained in yoga, meditation, and breathwork.
Academically, I hold an honors degree in Social Entrepreneurship from the University of Texas at Austin, completed a Social Impact Incubator at Columbia University, and was recently accepted into the Master of Social Work programs at both Columbia and NYU.
But more than any credential, what I bring is presence.
I meet each person without judgment or agenda — not to fix or heal, but to help create a sacred space where your own inner wisdom can emerge.
