HAPÉ

CALM, CLEANSE, CENTRE.

HAPÉ (HAP-AY) OR RAPÉ (RAP-AY) is a powerful master plant teacher working to sharpen the mind, improve mental focus and release energetic blockages.

Drawing from its earth and fire energy it works on a physical and spiritual level to calm, ground and cleanse out mind and body.

Indigenous ancestors of the Amazon (Yawanawa, Matses, Huni Kuin, Nukini- to name just a few) have worked with the spirit of this plant for many years, cultuvating their own relationship with it and using its support them in sharpening the mind, preparing the body and connecting more deeply with the spirit of the rainforest and animals living within the lands before a community hunt. The community leaders will prepare and bless the powdered medicine with prayers. Typically curated from finely ground sacred tobacco leaves, tree ash and other medicinal herbs, each blend carries its own unique energy and ancient wisdom.

HAPÉ helps us to purify our physical and energetic bodies of negative thoughts and energies (panema), receive clarity on our inner guidance, deepen meditation, improve concentration and realign our energy channels.

The medicine we use in our HAPÉ ceremonies are consciously sourced and intuitively served.

True power

is living

the realisation

that you are your own

healer, hero and leader

WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • Expect to be held in a safe, loving and compassionate space where you are given informed choice of the flow of your ceremony.

  • We begin with a sacred smoke cleansing ritual followed by a grounding meditation to anchor you into the present moment.

  • Our ceremony ritual is to first connect with our breath, connect with our intention and connect with the spirit of Hapé.

  • We prepare the medicine which is then served by blowing it through our Tepi (ceremonial pipe). It is received through the nostrils where the medicine is absorbed into the mucus membrane and passed into the bloodstream.

  • You may feel an intense heat in the head/ body for around 30 seconds to 1 minute as the medicine begins to open up your chakras and move stagnant energy. A sense of calmness, clarity, lightness and gratitude can be felt immediately.

  • We will use shamanic instruments to energetically assist in the movement of energy/ removal of blockages.

  • You are given time to sit with the medicine to meditate and receive any downloads that may drop in. You may wish to journal at this point.

  • You may experience some temporary effects such as increased heart rate, increase in body temperature, emotional release and/or physical purge. Like all plant teachers Hapé will give you what you need each time that you sit with it whether that is a physical purge or going straight into deep mediation so it is important to not have any expectations and receive the therapeutic effects that Hapé opens up for you.

  • There is the option to receive more medicine if you feel called to.

  • We channel energy and sound healing as the journey comes to a close.

  • Finally warm tea is served and we will give you the space to share your experience/insights.

You may experience some of these temporary physical, energetic and emotional symptoms as the medicine works through your body:

  • Mucus being expelled from the body as it clears toxins

  • Purging (vomitting)

  • Crying

  • Laughing

  • Increased heart rate

  • Feeling warm/cold

  • Sweating

  • Fainting

  • Nausea

  • Feeling the need to go to the toilet

Remember that these symptoms are temporary. It is your bodies way of moving energy and eliminating toxins. They manifest differently in every body as we work through our individual energetic blockages, no two journeys are the same.

The spirit of Hapé is a powerful force, our advice is to have zero expectations and to trust and surrender to what she has to offer you.
