Peace + Purpose

12 weeks of one-on-one mentorship

Guidance through the most important passageway of your life.

The journey from the wandering boy to the purposeful man.

You’re an expression of divine love with unique gifts to give.

It’s time to honor your purpose.

Let’s be real for a moment.

You can’t live the last year on repeat.

You’ve simply “gotten by” for too long.

The habits that helped you feel a little bit better have actually begun to hurt you.

Your frustration with life can’t be hidden anymore.

The smile you once wore is feeling harder to manage because you’ve been disappointed too many times.

There’s a part of you that’s at his end because the life you though would bring you happiness feels dead and dull.

But another part of you knows that a bigger life is possible and that there might be a higher calling.

You wonder if this is all there is.

You know you have a reason for being here but it’s not quite clear.

The highs you’ve been seeking can’t drown out the nagging feeling that you’re meant for more.

You’ve created plans for a better life but they always seem to lead you back to the same old patterns with new faces.

You can’t seem to get out of this loop and you feel destined to remain unfulfilled while others thrive.

I know, I’ve been there.

I’ve been you.

I know what it’s like to live with the burden of shame masked with coping mechanisms that keep you living a repetitive, small life.

But brother, there’s a way out.

There’s a path in which your freedom and uniqueness gets to serve you in a bigger way; in which you’re being valued and seen for your gifts.

If the life you’re living doesn’t fit; if you’re tired of trying to fit into a limiting identity, it’s because you’re much bigger than that.

You’re meant to stand out.

You’re meant to own all that you are and start prioritizing what is important to you.

You’re meant for more and it’s your time.

Hear what Niels had to say upon his graduation from the mentorship:

Imagine waking up in love…

In love with yourself, your partner, and with life because you’re devoted to your calling.

Not because it’s what you think you should do but because it’s what makes your heart sing. So much so that you shine.

You’re a magnet for the dreams you once hoped for. They come to you because you know your value and you give your gifts with joy.

You’ve created a community that inspires and supports you and matches your depth.

You’ve leveraged the power of a man who is deeply in contact with his soul’s calling.

Coming out was just the beginning.

A caterpillar’s journey doesn’t end the moment it breaks the cocoon; that’s just the start, it still needs to learn how to fly.

It’s your time to fly.

You’re not just another homo. You’re so much more.

You’re an expression of divine love.

You’re perfect.

It’s time to meet this part of yourself.

It’s time to honor your purpose.

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 and back to the light is my honor to guide you through.

Testimonials

  • "This mentorship program has truly been an invaluable part of my healing journey. I'm very grateful I’ve come across Río as a coach. I have changed and grown at my core... It's an embodiment that I take it with me in all areas of my life. "

    Niels

  • “I feel like a different person from when I started this. It came into my life at the perfect time and I’m so grateful. Being in my body was my biggest take away. I’m reframing the conflict I had with my sexuality and releasing the shame.”

    Ryan

  • “I came to Rio as a stranger and never could I have imagined that I would be curled up in a ball of tears in front of another man that I had just met yet felt so safe and loved by. That moment has changed me. Thank you, Rio. The tools and framework you’ve given me have been incredibly powerful ways of approaching this part of my journey. I think about and use them everyday. You’re gifted and your work is so needed by many and I thank you for all of the work you’ve obviously done for yourself so you could be the man you are today.”

Is the Peace + Purpose mentorship for me?

This is for you if:

  • You’re a gay man who’s tired of the eternal validation game and feel that you’ve had a foot in two worlds, the outdated version of you and the fully inspired, peaceful and purposeful you.

  • You know that you’re here for more than you’re currently living and you’re fully invested in discovering what that is while deepening your spirituality.

  • You’re open to the idea that all of your challenges are gifts and the pain you’ve endured has within it the keys to your purpose.

  • You want guidance through every step from someone who’s taken the journey and can light the way.

  • You’re ready for deeper relationships and connections with men who inspire you and honor your uniqueness.

This is not for you if:

  • You’re looking to pay someone to solve your problems and don’t want to do what it takes to transform.

  • You lack the discipline to remain consistently devoted to the process (I’ll be with you all the way to cheer you on but it will ultimately be up to you).

  • You’re unwilling to look at the things you’ve hidden from and to learn from them.

  • You’re deeply invested in remaining a victim to life’s challenges.

  • You can’t create the time in your schedule for all twelve weeks (we will find a time that fits your schedule but this program must be high on your priority list).

It’s YOUR TIME, my brother.

Now, this moment, is where your story changes.

Now is when all of the struggle of the past makes sense and when you turn the pain into the purpose.

Now is when you become truly, deeply nourished by life, by God.

Now is when it all comes together and the habits that have kept you alive but unfulfilled fade and your gifts come to the forefront.

Now is when you stop running from your past in hopes of outrunning the pain and you become pulled by your future.

Now is when your vision for yourself and the reason you’re still here becomes your inspiration.

Now is when your relationships deepen.

Now is when your health, vitality, genius, beauty, and creativity radiate so strongly that everything you’ve desired for yourself magnetizes to you.

This very moment is why you kept going.

It’s your time.
