River Jenkins

River is a graduate of the SoundMind Institute Psychedelic Facilitator Training Program. She has twelve years of experience working with psychedelic medicines in a variety of roles and she believes deeply in the potential of psychedelic medicines to nurture and expand the individual and collective psyches. She is invested in providing compassionate, individualized support for folks exploring and healing with psychedelics.

In addition to psilocybin facilitation River is a harm reduction worker, integration specialist, and psychedelic peer supporter as a supervisor with Fireside Project, the world’s only psychedelic support phone line. In her work with Fireside Project she has had the opportunity to hold space for folks exploring psychedelics and integrating their experiences in diverse settings and to provide training and support to others as they learn to do the same. River holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Oregon State University with focuses in Cognitive Science and Developmental Psychology and a minor in Philosophy. She is currently a research associate in clinical trials for psilocybin- and MDMA-assisted psychotherapies for PTSD and substance use disorders.

When she isn’t supporting the psychedelic community, you can find her building her off-grid permaculture community in the high desert, kayaking, or exploring the forests and coastlines of the Pacific Northwest with her three dogs.
