The healing power of this hapé emerges not only from the skill of its makers but also from the
spiritual well-being of the individuals and the collective energy of the group as well as the time and environment.

Administering Hapé
Hapé/Rapé (pronounced ha-peh in Portuguese, and ra-peh in Spanish) is a sacred plant medicine traditionally used in ceremonies for grounding, cleansing, and spiritual alignment. Administering hapé requires intention, respect, and mindfulness. Below are guidelines for both self-administration and administering to others.
Self-Administration
Preparation
Begin by creating a calm, sacred space free from distractions. Light a candle, burn incense, and have essentials like napkins and a small bag handy for later use.
Open the ceremony with a prayer to the four directions, inviting the spirit of tobacco, Pachamama, creator, and high-vibrational beings to bless and guide your experience. This intentional setup ensures the space is energetically charged with positivity. Playing indigenous music is highly recommended. Once prepared, sit comfortably—ideally in a lotus position—and focus on your intentions.
Set Your Intentions
Setting intentions is a vital part of the healing process. Take a moment to reflect: Why are you engaging in this ritual?
High-vibrational intentions might include:
- Gratitude for life, the medicine, and daily blessings.
- Connecting with your higher self and the divine.
- Seeking clarity, spiritual awakening, inner peace, or self-love.
Passing Hapé to Others
When administering Hapé to another person, a tepi—a straight applicator designed for partner use—is traditionally used. This sacred practice involves clear communication, mutual respect, and a grounded presence. As the giver, you set the healing intention for the receiver, making the ritual deeply spiritual and transformative. Unlike self-administration with a kuripe, the tepi delivers the medicine deeper into the nasal cavity, and the breath of the giver becomes an integral part of the process.
Prepare the Space
- Ensure a calm, sacred environment, free of distractions.
- For indoor settings, light candles and burn incense to create a ceremonial atmosphere.
- Have essentials ready, such as napkins, a small bag for disposal, and water.
- Play tribal music to enhance the ambiance. (We provide chants and singing at Shaman Hapé to support this process.)Invite the recipient to sit upright, relaxed, and with an open heart to receive the medicine.
Discuss Intentions
Engage the recipient in a discussion about their intentions for the ritual. Encourage them to reflect on their goals for grounding, healing, or spiritual clarity. Simultaneously, set your own intention as the giver to serve with love, respect, and blessings, ensuring a shared sacred energy.
Prepare the Hapé
- Measure the appropriate amount of Hapé, adjusting the dosage to the recipient's needs and experience level.
-
Divide the powder equally for both nostrils. Keep in mind that some individuals may require less while others benefit from a slightly larger amount.
Building Connections with the Yawanawá Tribe
The Yawanawá tribe is a beloved and resilient community, known for its profound spiritual practices that have been passed down through generations. With a population of approximately 2,000 members, the Yawanawá reside far from modern civilization, along the banks of the Gregorio River in Acre, Brazil. Their remote homeland is accessible only by boat from Vila São Vicente, a small and little-known town.
Our connection with the Yawanawá marked a significant milestone. The tribe is highly esteemed among other indigenous groups and the broader spiritual community, known for their isolation and cautious approach to outside influence. The Yawanawá are selective in their interactions, particularly when it comes to modern civilization and business interests. With pure intentions, we were able to build a bridge of trust and collaboration with the Yawanawá medicine men and women, fostering a relationship based on respect and shared spiritual values. This partnership reflects our deep reverence for their traditions and our commitment to preserving and honoring their sacred practices.
The People of the White Crow
The Yawanawá, also known as the "People of the White Crow," is rooted in the Acre region of the Brazilian Amazon. They are renowned for their rich cultural expressions, including traditional songs, ayahuasca ceremonies, dances, and intricate body art. The Yawanawá are the stewards of powerful spiritual practices, which they pass down through generations. Central to their spiritual traditions are sacred medicines such as ayahuasca, hapé, and other plant-based remedies, which they use for healing, self-discovery, and transformation.
In addition to their deep spiritual practices, the Yawanawá are committed to preserving their cultural heritage and sharing their teachings with the broader world. Their efforts foster meaningful intercultural exchange while maintaining a strong dedication to protecting their ancestral lands and the natural resources that sustain them. The Yawanawá’s resilience and commitment to future generations highlight their strength in the face of modern challenges.
Yawanawá & Hapé
The Yawanawá tribe uses only one type of hapé—the tsunu hapé—which is made from the ashes of the Tsunu tree and mapacho. This blend is considered sacred and powerful, deeply aligned with healing, clarity, and spiritual growth. Tsunú hapé helps participants connect with their inner wisdom, ancestors, and the natural world. The preparation and administration of this hapé have been passed down through generations, preserving the knowledge of its spiritual significance and sacred use. As such, tsunu hapé is an essential part of the Yawanawá cultural identity.
Hapé & Spiritual Practices
Our Yawanawá hapé is sourced from the Paka village, where we partook in an ayahuasca ceremony. It’s important to note that their hapé blend is unique, not only due to the proportions of its ingredients but also because of the enchanted energy it carries. The Yawanawá are well-known for their spiritual music and chants, which imbue their hapé with a powerful, sacred energy. Our selection of tsunu hapé is a reflection of the spirit and energy of the Yawanawá medicine men and women.
