WHat is Hapé

Hape Snuff, also known as "rapé" or “hapi,” is an ancient sacred medicine from the indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest. It has been used ceremoniously, spiritually and medicinally for centuries.  Its healing properties are believed to be extremely powerful.

Hapé Snuff can be traced back to the indigenous tribes of  South American Amazonion rainforest. These tribes have long held deep reverence for the natural world and believe in the healing power of plants. Hapé is made from a combination of finely powdered tobacco leaves and various medicinal plants, such as tree barks, seeds, and herbs. Each tribe has its own unique recipe, carefully passed down through generations.

The preparation of hapé is a sacred and meticulous process. The tobacco leaves are sun-dried and ground into a fine powder, which is then mixed with specific medicinal plants according to the tribal traditions and intentions. The blend is often created by experienced healers or shamans, who infuse the mixture with prayers and intentions to enhance its potency.

Hapé is typically administered through the nostrils. The user takes a small amount of the powdered mixture and, with the help of a special pipe called a “kuripe” or with the assistance of another person using a larger pipe called a “tepí,” blows it gently into their nostrils. This method allows the active compounds of the herbs and tobacco to be absorbed into the nasal passages and quickly reach the bloodstream. 

 The effects of Hapé can vary depending on the specific blend and the individual’s sensitivity. Many people report experiencing a range of sensations, including a tingling or warming sensation, heightened focus, mental clarity, increased energy, and a sense of grounding. Some users describe it as a meditative experience, bringing them into a deeper state of connection with themselves and the spiritual realm.

In addition to its ceremonial and spiritual uses, Hapé is also valued for its potential medicinal benefits. Various plants incorporated into the mixture are believed to have therapeutic properties, such as clearing nasal passages, relieving headaches, and supporting respiratory health. However, it’s important to note that Hapé  should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.

Hi. My name is Ebony, and I am a shamanic plant medicine practitioner. My journey of healing and transformation started when I was "sick and tired of being sick and tired." I started working with various plant medicines and profound changes were rapidly occurring in my life. As I continued on my own personal journey of healing and transformation, it was revealed to me my gift of holding sacred space while others work with sacred plant medicines to transform their lives.

I have facilitated many groups and individual sacred plant medicine ceremonies in the US for over four years. I enjoy bringing in the traditional practices of our indigenous ancestors and incorporate a "modern day twist" during medicine ceremonies.  As a sound therapist I enjoy bringing sound healing into the medicine space.

If you are interested in going deep in your journey of transformation, it would be an honor to hold sacred space while you go on a journey deep within.
