Please arrive 15-minutes early to allow for the group to begin on time ?

Rapé, pronounced Hapé in Portuguese, is a type of sacred tobacco based snuff used by the indigenous peoples of the Amazon. Rapé is considered by many as a Grandfather energy and a protector. It is also a medicine of focus and detoxification.

Utilized for both grounding and elevation, Rapé is said to heighten the awareness and the senses, clear & align your mind, your instinct & your intuition, and help promote cleansing of the body and soul. Its purpose is to aligning you with your best self.

Rapé is usually made from a variety of sacred tobacco leaves, powdered and mixed with different types of herbs and tree ash, then ground into a fine, aromatic powder that is blown into the nostrils. Its use is ancient and has been prominent in many different cultures throughout time.

The Adana Omagua tribe, indigenous to the Amazon rainforest, boasts a rich cultural heritage deeply intertwined with the surrounding natural world. They preserve their ancestral traditions with great reverence. Residing along the winding rivers of the region, their society thrives on a harmonious relationship with the lush environment, relying on fishing, hunting, and agriculture for sustenance. Additionally, they possess profound knowledge of Rapé, which they use ceremonially for spiritual healing and connection with the divine. Despite the encroachment of modernity, the Adana Omagua tribe continues to uphold their customs, ensuring the preservation of their unique way of life for generations to come.

*We specifically honor the traditions of its use by indigenous tribes, but note that we are not indigenous people. We will educate participants of our understanding of this medicine, but always defer to indigenous people for a deeper understanding of this medicine. In that vein, some of the proceeds from your tickets will go back to indigenous people as we source our Rapé and instruments from the Amazon.*
