The Sedona Intensive
A private 2 or 3 day experience in Sedona, Arizona
You're in one of the most energetically charged places on earth.
The red rocks are doing the thing they do.
Oak Creek is running cold and clear.
The sky is obscenely big.
And you're not here on vacation.
You're here to get your jush back. - You remember him.
The version of you that shined, shame free, alive and peaceful.
The one who knew what he wanted and wasn't apologetic about it.
He didn't go anywhere. He just needs the right conditions to come back out.
That's what Sedona is for.
That's what this is for.
Picture this…
What this actually is
Two or three days in Sedona with Rio.
Not a structured program. Not a curriculum. Not a coach with a clipboard and a five step framework.
Think of it as hanging out with your spiritual bestie - the one who happens to carry deep shamanic intuition and energy medicine and knows how to transmit both while you're hiking a trail or sitting by a creek or lying on a rock in the sun doing absolutely nothing.
The work happens in the most unexpected moments.
A conversation on a trail that cracks something open.
A custom designed inner journey that takes you somewhere your mind could never find alone.
A moment of silence on the land that says more than any session ever could.
Rio has been doing this work for 15 years. He's been through his own fire. He knows the terrain — the land and the interior kind — intimately.
This isn't coaching. It's a transmission.
And Sedona amplifies everything.
What your days look like
Each intensive is custom designed around you - where you are, what you're carrying, what wants to move.
Generally your days will include:
A morning session at your lodging - breathwork, somatic work, shamanic style inner journeys, intuitive guidance. This is where the deep work happens.
Afternoon on the land - Oak Creek, the red rocks, silence, movement. This is where it integrates. Some of the most significant shifts happen not in the session but on the trail afterward.
Time alone between sessions — intentional, not incidental. The land will work on you when Rio isn't there. Let it.
No two intensives look the same. That's the point.
This is for you if:
You've lost your shine and you know it
You've done the work and you're ready to actually feel the results in your body
You want someone who gets the specific terrain of being a gay man — the shame, the gifts, the medicine you're here to bring
You're ready to be met exactly where you are with no performance required
You want depth AND ease — not another heavy healing assignment
This is not for you if:
You want a vacation with some light inspiration sprinkled in
You're not ready to be seen clearly
You need everything mapped out before you can relax into it
The Details:
Location: Sedona, Arizona
Rio comes to you — sessions happen at your Airbnb or villa and on the land.
Lodging: Yours to arrange
We recommend a private villa or Airbnb with outdoor space. Rio is happy to suggest the best areas of Sedona for this work.
Transportation: You’ll most likely want a rental car
Sedona isn't navigable without one and you'll want the freedom to wander on your own time between sessions.
Meals: Yours to arrange
The time between sessions is intentional integration space — eat slowly, sit outside, let the morning settle before the afternoon begins. Rio can suggest a few favorite spots if helpful.
A note on solitude:
Most men arrive thinking they want more company. Sedona has a way of showing them they actually needed more silence. Trust that when it comes.
INVESTMENT
$3,500 — $5,500 depending on length and customization.
Payment plans available.
Each intensive is preceded by a 60-minute online session to establish the landscape.
Integration support included after.
READY?
This is done by feel, not by checkout button.

If it is, we'll build it together.

Testimonials:

I’m Rio, your guide on this journey.
Brother, I’ve walked this path for many years so that I could be your guide.
I lived much of my adult life numbing out and hiding from myself and my spiritual gifts.
I didn’t want to own my uniqueness and purpose because it felt so far off of the well worn path taken by my community. I did all I could to suppress the call to live with more purpose.
I used exercise, drugs, sex, fashion, vanity, pornography, and you-name-it practices to work around my healing and spirituality instead of moving toward or through them.
After years with one foot in partying and the other in spirituality it became clear that only one path would lead me to true fulfillment and peace.
Through a ten year journey to locations around the world and through deep personal healings I was lead to the teachers and trainings which gave me the tools to serve you.
This journey from the shadows to my soul’s calling is my honor to guide you through.
FAQ’S
-
You don’t need to know what your calling is. Through taking this journey you will be attuning yourself to the essence within you that knows the way.
Having a general idea of what passions you have and what lights you up as well as what struggles you would like to help others alleviate is a good start.
You should be willing to open up a dialogue with the divine to reveal what your calling is.
This is a co-creative process with whatever the divine is to you.
-
Plan on 30-60 minutes daily. Each practice is designed to be concise yet potent rituals that build on each other.
Some practices will resonate with you more than others so you may choose to spend more time if you feel inspired.
-
Definitely not. Your calling, though it will ultimately be of service to others, does not have to be explicitly supporting or guiding others.
When you’re lit up by your passions, doing what you do with gusto while being witnessed, that is of service to others.
-
All recorded content is within my community platform. When you enroll you will be directed to make an account where you will be able to access the practices, teachings, and the community discussion container.
-
Our main focus is aligning you with your true self instead of your false self (a shame based identity).
Attuning you to who you truly are is the foundation we work from.
This is about who you’re being more than what you do.
We’re cultivating aliveness within you which holds the keys to what your calling is.
We work with whatever arises that seems to get in the way of revealing and activating your purpose.
This co-creation utilizes shadow work, nervous system work, emotional healing, identity shifting, somatics, subconscious reprogramming and manifestation without over complicating your life.
Lastly, we’re doing this with the support and co-creation with Source/God/The Universe so maintaining this connection is key.
-
Yes, if you’re in need of deep trauma work this would not be the right container for you.
In that case, I would suggest either working with me in The Healing Portal or, of course, finding support that suits your particular needs.
-
Sure do. There are two and three month payment plans available.
