Product Origin

Katukina

The Katukina are an Indigenous tribe of the Amazon rainforest, primarily located in the Brazilian state of Acre. They belong to the Pano linguistic group and have a deep connection with their ancestral lands, relying on the forest for sustenance, medicine, and spiritual practices. Despite challenges such as land encroachment and deforestation, the Katukina continue to preserve their traditions and protect their way of life through community resilience and cultural preservation efforts.

One of the most important aspects of Katukina spirituality is the use of Hapé (also spelled Rapé), a sacred shamanic snuff. Made by finely grinding Amazonian tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) and mixing it with ashes from medicinal plants, Hapé is used in ceremonies for healing, grounding, and spiritual connection. The Katukina believe that this sacred medicine helps to clear negative energies, sharpen focus, and open channels of communication with the spirit world. Hapé is traditionally administered using a Tepi pipe, either self-applied or shared in a ritual setting by a healer or shaman.

In addition to their use of Hapé, the Katukina are also known for their connection to Kambo, the secretion of the giant monkey frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor), which they use for physical and spiritual cleansing. Their vast knowledge of medicinal plants and their strong relationship with the rainforest have made them key figures in the preservation of Indigenous wisdom. Through sustainable initiatives, cultural sharing, and the defense of their lands, the Katukina continue to uphold their traditions while advocating for the protection of the Amazon.

How To Use

How to Use Hapé (Rapéh) with a Kuripe Hapé, also known as Rapé, is a sacred plant medicine traditionally used by Indigenous tribes of the Amazon for grounding, clarity, and spiritual connection. When self-administering Hapé, a Kuripe (a V-shaped applicator) is used to deliver the blend into your nostrils. Preparation Create a Sacred Space – Sit in a quiet, intentional space where you can focus without distractions. Set an intention for your experience. Gather Your Materials – You will need your Hapé blend, a Kuripe, and a small dish or surface to hold the medicine. Self-Administration Steps Measure the Hapé – Using a small spoon or your fingers, place a pea-sized amount (or your preferred dose) into the palm of your hand. Load the Kuripe – Carefully scoop half of the measured Hapé into the longer end of the Kuripe, ensuring it is evenly packed. Position the Kuripe – Place the longer end of the Kuripe snugly into one nostril. Position the shorter end into your mouth, sealing your lips around it. Deliver the Medicine – Take a deep breath and, with focus, exhale firmly through the Kuripe, sending the Hapé into your nostril. Repeat for the Other Nostril – Reload the second half of the dose and repeat the process for balance. Aftercare & Integration Sit in stillness, allowing the medicine to take effect. You may experience sensations like heat, pressure, or release. Breathe deeply and stay present with your intention. If needed, gently blow your nose after a few minutes to clear any excess powder. Give gratitude for the medicine and the wisdom it brings. Important Notes Hapé is best used with respect and mindfulness; it is a sacred tool, not a recreational substance. Start with a small amount and adjust as you become more familiar with its effects. Keep your Kuripe and Hapé stored in a clean, dry place. If you are new to Hapé, consider working with an experienced guide for support. Embrace this practice with reverence, allowing it to guide you into deeper alignment with yourself and the natural world.
