WOULD YOU ENCOURAGE TO LIVE A RAPÉ CEREMONY? WE WILL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS ABOUT!
The Amazon jungle is not only a territory where biodiversity reigns, but it has also left inheritances for humanity that allow the healing not only of your physical body, but of all the bodies you inhabit (mental-emotional and spiritual). From her womb emerged a powerful medicine that has spiritual and even psychoactive properties, and that has been honored by the indigenous communities of the region in the form of a ceremony: Rapé. WHAT IS IT?
But before we get into the ceremony… What is rapé?
Rapé is an ancient medicine that commonly comes from the Nicotiana Rústica tobacco species . It is considered a sacred medicine that is born from the fine mixture of ancient tobacco-based powders, power plants for indigenous communities, ancient tree resins and ashes consecrated in the ceremony of the elders. Rapé, as a sacred medicine from the Amazon, can include powerful medicinal plants such as Epená, Artemisa, Virola, among others, and its consumption can be done alone or in ceremony.

Well, I already understood what rapé is… But what is the ceremony like?
A rapé ceremony can vary according to the ancestral community you visit, or the guide teacher who leads the ceremony. It can be a large or small group, it can be led by an elder from the indigenous community or by a person who has extensive experience with medicine, the elements can be honored and the purposes of each participant can be elevated. The rapé ceremony will depend on who you decide to share the ritual of this ancestral medicine with, and above all, on how this living ritual is shown.

I didn't understand the “living ritual”… What do you mean?
Every rapé ceremony, or rapé meditation you have alone, is a living ritual. You will not have the same experience as your partner, brother, or closest friend, even though everyone respects and honors this medicine. We all have different experiences, and even within your own experience with medicine, you can experience changes according to your mood, intention or way of approaching medicine. That is why we believe that each ceremony should express a vitality of the ritual. And the most important thing is that you approach medicine respectfully and lovingly, guided by your intuition!
