Hapéh (pronounced "ha-PAY," also written as Rapé) is a sacred ceremonial medicine used by the Huni Kuin and other Indigenous Amazonian peoples for thousands of years. It is a finely ground blend of Amazonian tobacco and tree ashes, prepared with great care and intention by those trained in its tradition. More than a physical experience, Hapéh is a living medicine that clears the mind, grounds the body, opens the heart, and creates a direct channel to spirit.
Made by Nawá Siã
This Hapéh is prepared by Nawá Siã, a young spiritual leader, artist, and musician of the Huni Kuin people. He lives in Aldeia Pinuya in the Brazilian Amazon, where he dedicates his life to the study and practice of the sacred songs and traditions of his culture. Guided by the teachings of pajé Kupi Huni Kuin, a revered elder he honors as his mentor, Nawá Siã has carried Huni Kuin wisdom across Brazil and to nine countries around the world. The Hapéh he prepares carries his prayers, his training, and the living tradition of his people.
