Product Origin
  • Yawanawá - Shaman

    Yawanawá


    Yawanawá are an Indigenous tribe of the Amazon rainforest, primarily located in the headwaters of Rio Gregório in Western Brazil. Yawanawá translates to "the people of the wild boar" because they are always together while hunting and in life in general. They are part of the Pano linguistic group and have lived in deep connection with the rainforest for centuries, preserving their ancestral traditions, spiritual practices, and knowledge of plant medicine. Their culture is rooted in a harmonious relationship with nature, using the land sustainably for food, healing, and spiritual guidance.

     

    One of Yawanawá's most significant traditions is the making and use of Hapé (also known as Rapeh), a sacred medicinal snuff made from finely ground tobacco mixed with various medicinal plants and ashes. Hapé is used in ceremonies, healing rituals, and daily life to bring clarity, grounding, and spiritual connection. It is applied through a special pipe, called a Tepi, which delivers the powder into the nostrils. The Yawanawa believe Hapé helps cleanse negative energies, sharpen focus, and strengthen one’s connection to the spirit world.

     

    In addition to their use of Hapé, the Yawanawa also work with other sacred plant medicines, such as ayahuasca, which is central to their spiritual and healing traditions. These medicines, guided by shamans and elders, are believed to provide deep wisdom, healing, and a path to self-discovery. Alongside their medicinal practices, the Yawanawa express their culture through intricate body painting, storytelling, and music, which help preserve their heritage and transmit knowledge to younger generations.

     

    Despite historical challenges such as deforestation, land disputes, and external influences, the Yawanawa have made great strides in reclaiming their ancestral lands and revitalizing their traditions. They have embraced sustainable initiatives, such as ecotourism and ethical trade of traditional crafts and medicines, to support their community while protecting the rainforest. By sharing their knowledge and spiritual practices with the world, they continue to safeguard their cultural legacy and advocate for the preservation 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.
