The Plant

Hapé is a sacred shamanic snuff medicine used for thousands of years by tribes of the Amazon and South American indigenous cultures to heal, ground, purify, and connect with spirit. Hapé is ceremonial tobacco blend made from ash of medicinal plants, leaves, trees, bark, roots and seeds. It is grown for the purpose of ceremony. It is not the same tobacco that is used in cigarettes, but rather Nicotina Rustica, a type of tobacco also known as mapacho.

When served with respect and intention, Hapé becomes a powerful ally — opening the energetic body, offering clarity, protection, and deep spiritual connection. It is a spiritual experience, not a substance. It invites communion with the earth, spirit and ancestral wisdom, helping you come fully into the present moment.

Hapé is traditionally administered through a ceremonial pipe called a Tepi, gently delivered one nostril at a time by the facilitator. This act becomes a prayer — a cleansing of the mind and heart — and a beautiful preparation for the meditative depth of the sound journey to follow.

Serenity Within: Exploring Yoga Nidra & Sound Bath

Join us for a deeply restorative evening of rest and connection in a compassionate community. Experience a guided Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) meditation led by Susanne McMurry, designed to calm the nervous system and support inner healing. Let yourself be enveloped by the soothing sounds of a live sound bath with Benny Silva of Resonate, creating a space for deep relaxation and renewal.

This practice is gentle and accessible to all—whether you prefer to lie down on a yoga mat or sit comfortably in a chair.
