Roda means “Circle”
This evening will be about the sharing of indigenous music and coming together in sacred space as a circle to dance, pray, sing and listen.
It's meant to be a space to gather strength and joy.
“Rape”’ is a Sacred Medicine from the Amazon; It is used by the indigenous people for grounding, clearing and re-aligning. It is made of pulverized tobacco and ashes of tree bark.
It is applied through the nose, blown by another person through a pipe. The effects are clearing of the energetic field, clarity and grounding. There is also the chance of vomiting, although that is a rare effect.
Taking rape’ is not mandatory on this evening – you can just come to dance and to enjoy!
