Rio Hondo
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Río is a psychedelic guide, teacher, and the founder of BrooklynPsychedelic.org. 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 UT 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. Read More
