Kuntanawa Hapé Circle October 30
Hapé is a bridge to ancestral roots and the healing spirit of the Amazon forest.
Embracing this sacred medicine keeps the Kuntanawa traditions alive.
Come join us for an evening experiencing the traditions of the Amazon!
Plant medicine allies Hapé & Sananga, medicine music, and a talk with Haru and Hayra of the Kuntanawa Tribe!
🌿 Hapé is a powder snuff that is made of medicinal herbs (some combination of tobacco, ash, leaves, seeds, barks, and other native plants). Its use originates in indigenous peoples from the Amazon rainforest, especially in Brazil.
This powder is blown (either self administered or administered by someone else) through the nostrils into the sinus cavity where it is absorbed.
🌿 Physically, you can experience some burning or stinging sensation when Hapé is administered that typically diminishes a few seconds into the experience. This is seen as part of the purifying aspect of this plant medicine ally.
You may also feel other body sensations and sensitivity during a sitting with Hapé.
While each blend is different and crafted for a specific purpose, here are the general benefits of Hapé:
🍃 Stills the mind
🍃 Clears the aura
🍃 Can help with rapid entry into a meditative state
🍃 Helps relax the nervous system
🍃 Helps to clear the sinuses and respiratory system
🍃 Connects you to the earth in grounding and centering
FYI - Hapé is not psychoactive, though it can enhance the meditative experience.
🌿 Sananga eye drops are a traditional Amazonian medicine made from the root bark of the Tabernaemontana Sananho plant, also known as the Sananga plant.
🌿 Physically, you can experience some burning in the eyes when Sananga is administered that typically diminishes a few minutes into the experience. This is seen as part of the purifying aspect of this plant medicine ally.

🍃 Enhanced vision
