Hapé is a sacred shamanic snuff medicine traditionally used by several Amazonian tribes, including the Katukina, Yawanawa, Kaxinawa, Nukini, Kuntanawa, Apurinã, Ashaninka, and Matses. Each tribe produces its own unique blend and has distinct preparation methods, often accompanied by specific rituals and songs. All of our Hapé’s are ethically sourced from indigenous people and intentionally produced with the wisdom, intentions, and prayers of their humble shamans that want to continue living in harmony with our Mother Earth. Made from various medicinal plants, hapé serves multiple purposes such as inducing visions, boosting energy, and enhancing the senses with its aromatic fragrance. The recipes for these blends are often closely guarded secrets within the tribes. Sharing hapé is a ritualistic practice that involves specific chants to activate its healing power, conferring the forest's energy to the recipient. This practice has been introduced to the West through ayahuasca ceremonies by traveling shamans and visitors who have spent time with indigenous communities.
