Indigenous Phytotherapy | The Plants That Heal: Hapé Circle
March 8 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
For indigenous people, Hapé (pronounced “ha-peh”) has a powerful spirit of healing and protection against evils. Hapé is a cleansing snuff that is seen to open countless portals, enabling a person to reach different dimensions in the spiritual world.
This medicinal tobacco helps to focus and sharpen the mind. Hapé is served to clear a person of distracting thoughts and bad energies in preparation for intention setting. It clears the sinuses of mucus and bacteria to combat colds & respiratory ailments. It provides a calming, grounding effect on the emotional and spiritual body that lasts much longer than the initial application and sensation.
Hapé is a mixture of sun-dried Mói tobacco, as well as ashes of tree bark which is presented in the form of a powder. It is widely used in rituals & ceremonies in indigenous cultures as a spiritual and physical cure of illnesses. Tobacco is considered a sacred plant by indigenous peoples, as a plant of power and a strong healing vibration.
All classes and gatherings in the Indigenous Phytotherapy series are donation-based. For this session, a donation of $60 is recommended via Venmo to the facilitators or in cash at the event.
No one will be turned away for their inability to pay. If you feel called to participate but unable to meet the suggested donation, please reach out to the facilitators at hawkshollar@gmail.com.
