Hapé
Experience Hapé in a sacred, intentional, and grounded way.
The Hapé Session at Ashecension Studios honors this Amazonian medicine as a tool for clarity, balance, and spiritual connection — guiding you to release stagnant energy, center your mind, and reconnect with the Earth and your inner stillness.
🌿 Hapé: Sacred Medicine for Clarity, Grounding & Alignment
Hapé (also spelled Rapéh) is a traditional Amazonian snuff made from Mapacho (Nicotiana rustica) and a blend of medicinal plants, ashes, and sacred tree bark—crafted and blessed by Indigenous tribes such as the Yawanawá, Kuntanawa, and Huni Kuin. Used for thousands of years in ceremony, Hapé serves as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, anchoring the mind and spirit into deep presence.

🌀 Common Misconceptions
Many assume Hapé is simply “tobacco snuff,” but it is far more than that. This sacred medicine is not meant for casual or recreational use. Each blend carries distinct plant spirits and prayers, intended to cleanse, ground, and realign energy.
Hapé is not inhaled or snorted—it is gently blown into the nostrils through a ceremonial pipe (kuripe or tepi), symbolizing the breath of life and the divine exchange of energy.
🌞 When to Work with Hapé
Hapé can be used intentionally:
-
Before meditation or ceremony — to center and align.
-
After deep energetic work — such as Kambo, sound healing, or breathwork, to ground and integrate.
-
During emotional heaviness — to clear dense energy and restore balance.
-
Morning or evening — for focus, grounding, or inner reflection.
When approached with reverence and presence, Hapé becomes a powerful teacher—reminding you to breathe, release, and return home to your center.
