Lifted Healing

Release shame, heal your inner boy, and let your light shine.

WHERE YOUR PAST IS HEALED AND YOUR FUTURE IS REVEALED.

Lifted Healing

A 12-week small group program for gay men to help you go from being burdened by shame to radiating your light and embracing your purpose within a community of like minded brothers.

  • These sessions range in topic from inner boy healing, sexual healing, religious de-programing, freedom from shame, self love and much more.

    Each session includes both a teaching to understand what has shaped your past as well as a healing with your body to transform your relationship with yourself on a cellular level.

  • These sessions are where we share our experiences in intimate conversation with our group of brothers to build community and receive group support while integrating the healing that’s taking place.

    Think of it as a moderated men’s circle focused on vulnerably sharing, learning and connecting with men on the same journey of transformation that you are.

  • You’ll receive two 1-1 sessions with Rio to customize the program to your specific needs.

    Though you will have similar experiences to the other men in the program you will also have very specific areas of healing that will be addressed in these 1-1 sessions.

  • Guided meditations and integration practices to use between live sessions.

  • Connect with your brothers in healing through the community portal where you can chat and share your experience throughout the program.

You’ve felt the rising call to own your gifts and step out of the shadows to fulfill your purpose.

You know it’s no accident that you’re here on earth as a gay man but somehow shame still tells you stories of being unworthy.

You know there’s a life of fulfillment beyond what you’re currently living yet it’s felt out of reach.

Therapy has helped you understand your challenges but it hasn’t helped you change the the thoughts and beliefs that hold you back from bringing your dreams to life.

You’re tired of trying to piece together your healing on your own.

You’re looking for community and connection to men on the same path of conscious living and healing.

You’ve longed for a healing space that speaks to your specific experience as a gay man.

This is why I created Lifted Healing.

You’re here for a reason, with great purpose.

You have unique gifts and sensitivities that are meant to be fostered and given to the world.

You are perfectly designed to play a potent role in bringing more love and harmony to the world with your specific gifts.

The foundation of bringing these gifts to life is to heal the lies that have lived in your body and mind.

Your purpose in this moment is to discover inner peace, a dignified worthiness, deep love for your inner child and to heal wounding around your sexuality and spirituality.

Lifted Healing is the opposite of conversion therapy.

It’s about detoxifying yourself from the shame that tells you you’re broken and need to be “fixed” or “better”.

It’s a call to unburden yourself and heal the false beliefs that have kept you from shining.

It’s about loving your inner boy who’s been on the sidelines, waiting to be fully self expressed and accepted.

It’s a path of healing that helps you re-member that who you are as a gay man is perfect and divinely right.

It’s the path of freeing yourself from the weight of traumas and the lies of unworthiness.

Your gayness is a gift and Lifted Healing is the portal to remembering that.

This is for you if…

  • You want a path of healing designed for your experience as a gay man.

  • You’re feeling tired of trying to patchwork your healing together from podcasts and books.

  • You’re at a threshold of a new chapter that’s bringing up old thoughts and beliefs about yourself that need healing and updating.

  • You’re hearing the call to step out of the shadows, own your magic and live a fulfilling life.

  • You’re ready to embrace the spiritual gift of your gayness and shine.

  • You want to develop deeper relationships with other homos on the same path of transformation and elevation their consciousness.

  • You’re ready to truly let go of the heaviness of the past and not simply repress it.

  • You feel yourself light up with a YES at the idea of transforming your life in a spacious, personal way while being guided every step of the way in a loving, affirming community.

This is NOT for you if…

  • You want a someone else to take responsibility for your life (your magic is in embracing your strength and the ability to transform pain into purpose).

  • You are not open to lovingly facing the “stuff” you’ve repressed and wanted to magically go away (the stuff you’ve resisted feeling is where your power lives and your gifts are revealed).

  • You want a one-size-fits-all path (this is an organic, spacious portal that offers guidance, structure, teachings, and experiences that honor your unique healing process).  

  • You’re not interested in uncovering and giving your gay gifts (this program has the North Star of living out your purpose as the reason for healing).

Is this for you?

Your path to a brilliant future

Free yourself from unwanted patterns, Release emotional blocks, Feel seen + heard, Discover emotional harmony, Reveal the gifts wrapped in the struggles, Own your worth, Create community

How it works:

During our 12 weeks together you’ll engage your healing through your body more than your mind while changing deeply held beliefs about yourself.

We meet every Wednesday 12-2pm Pacific Time.

This is a live program that requires your live attendance. Think of it like a retreat in which your engagement and interaction is part of the special sauce which allows us to transform dense, outdated energy into your gifts.

Every other week we’ll have a Healing Session on a particular topic, in which you’ll experience healing through various modalities including somatic practices (body based meditations, breathwork, movement) and creative practices (writing + drawing).

The week between the Healing Sessions is a Brotherhood Session in which we’ll meet and integrate through sharing our experiences of the previous week’s healing topic (sexual healing, inner child healing, etc.) These sessions give us a deeper bond, help us see ourselves through the mirror of our brothers, and allow us to heal as a group.

Between our live calls you’ll have recorded meditations and practices to use throughout the week for consistent support and guidance.

You’ll also receive two 1-1 sessions with Rio to support your specific areas of healing and focus.

Throughout the 12 week journey you and your brothers can stay connected through the community portal where you can share updates and support each other through the process.

This is the moment your story changes.

It’s the moment you become liberated from the burdens of the past.

It’s the moment your light truly shines.

It’s time to reclaim your magic as a gay man who’s made to stand out and be seen.

It’s time to detoxify the shame that’s been heavy on your heart.

Your path has led you to this moment to free yourself.

Say YES to your future

Go full on in 2025,

Lifted Men is for you.

Lifted Men a year long devotion to transforming your pain into purpose and giving your gay gifts.

It includes three programs, Lifted Healing, Lifted Sex, and Lifted Purpose that run consecutively between January to November 2025.

It’s designed for men who know that this is the year that they commit to breaking free from being stuck and bring their dreams to life.

I’m Rio, your guide on this journey.

I’m a somatic coach, breathwork facilitator, spiritual + sexual healing guide, writer, and human being committed to the healing and empowerment of gay men and our unique role in this world.

I spent most of my life trying to fix myself.

I tried to fix myself by traveling the world, changing careers, using sex, porn, alcohol, drugs, fashion, relationships, and any other way I could find to try to feel simply “OK”.

All of this was unconscious seeking that I became aware of when my healing journey began many years ago.

Throughout my healing, I pieced together the resources that felt right for me as a gay man with gifts to share with the world, but also struggles with my relationship to my body and my sexuality.

I found solace in spiritual and healing spaces but I never felt that those spaces were meant for me or the gay experience.

When I sought out gay healing spaces, I found they often lacked the depth and spiritual foundation I had found in non-gay spaces.

I spent years gathering pieces of wisdom and practices in a patchwork way; taking a little from this teaching, a bit more from that group, some from this modality…

Always modifying it to fit my homo experience. I’m sure you know what I mean. Perhaps you’ve experienced your own version of this.

This why Lifted Healing exists.

It’s the synthesis of all the healing modalities, teachings, and space-holding that I found most effective and deeply personal, woven together to create a healing path that honors the spiritual purpose of us gay men—those of us with gifts to offer the world.

What is healing for us homos?

  • A reclamation of your magic as a gay man, made to stand out and be seen.

  • A detoxification of the shame you've been taught to carry.

  • Freedom from the burden of feeling like an outsider with no template for your uniqueness and sensitivity.

  • A re-membrance of who you truly are, before the weight of trauma and beliefs of unworthiness took hold.

  • The reunion of parts of yourself that you fractured off to fit in or feel safe.

  • Seeing yourself through the eyes of the divine, knowing you have great purpose simply by being who you are.

Answers to your questions.

  • Every Wednesday at 12pm Pacific / 3pm Eastern.

  • Yes. This is a live program that requires your live attendance. Think of it like a retreat in which your engagement and interaction is part of the special sauce which allows us to transform dense, outdated energy into your gifts.

    Call times are Wednesdays at 12-2pm Pacific / 3-5pm Eastern.

    If you’re unable to attend one or two sessions, you will be able to use the recordings to on your own.

    Please reach out to me if you have any questions about the schedule.

  • Each week is about 2 hours of live sessions on Wednesdays.
