What is ​​Rapé?

​​Rapé (pronounced Hape) is a sacred Shamanic Medicine used by tribes of the Amazon, as well as other South American Indigenous cultures for thousands of years. It is a snuff made of various tree ashes, combined with fine tobacco. The latter is not the common type used in cigarettes, but rather Nicotina Rustica which is highly potent. The resulting powder is highly refined. Rapé is a holy sacrament created by our Ancestors, not a substance, and thus should be treated respectfully. When working with Rapé, we work with the Rapé spirit. The plants are teachers and they all have a particular spirit associated with it, masculine or feminine 

How Does It Work?

Rapé ​when applied and served with honor and intention, can be an extremely powerful plant medicine. Rapé can provide inner vision, guidance, protection, cleansing, healing, ​and the opening of chakras main energy channels. 

What Does A Rapé Ceremony Involve?

​Each blend of Rapé has a different spirit associated with it. During our Rapé ceremony, we first honor the spirit of smoke known as 'Defuma', and then we conduct an opening prayer handled by the main facilitator in which we Smudge & Cleanse both the environment and individual for protection & guidance. This is done with Sage, Palo Santo and Florida Water. The participants are then asked to have an intention in mind before receiving the Rapé which is served individually. The snuff is then administered by a special blow pipe called a Tepi, one nostril at a time. 
*Instructions as to the process will be provided ​during the ceremony*

How Long Does ​Rapé Last?

The experience of Rapé is a powerful experience and can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, or even days. At Finally Detached we have been working with several Rapé Spirits and are experienced facilitators. For large group ceremonies or holistic gatherings please inquire here.​
