It shines during deep meditation, breathwork, or energy healing, enhancing focus and harmonizing your energy field. This blend also serves as a supportive ally in ceremonial contexts or integration phases, used before other natural medicines or after intense experiences to ground the body and clear the mind. Whenever you need to reconnect with ancestral insight, find emotional balance, or reset spiritually, this hapé opens that sacred space with grace and intention.

Sacred ingredients
The sacred recipe combines revered Amazonian elements: a strong Mapacho forms the foundation, carrying prayers and grounding force. Fine ashes of the tsunu tree, known for their cleansing and balancing properties, alchemize the blend. To this base, the Kuntanawa add Jagube Caapi vine, Caapi’s vine of the soul, along with a touch of chacruna leaf. Uniting vine and leaf within the hapé brings the complete spirit of an Caapi brew into a benign form. Each ingredient contributes its own natural medicine: the Mapacho offers strength and focus, the ash purifies and stabilizes, and the Caapi plants impart spiritual wisdom and connection.

Craft & tradition
This hapé is handcrafted by Kuntanawa shamans who have mastered the art over generations. The tribe harvests the vine, leaf, and sacred woods from their forest home with deep reverence and sustainable practices, ensuring the natural medicine is created in harmony with nature. Every step of the process, from drying and grinding the plants to blending in the ashes, is carried out in a prayerful, ceremonial manner that infuses the hapé with intention. By the time it is finished, this natural medicine carries the full lineage of Kuntanawa wisdom. Each batch is a continuation of their ancestors’ craft, meant to be used respectfully in a sacred context.

Kuntanawa perspective
For the Kuntanawa people, weaving Caapi vine into hapé is a profound way to share the vine’s healing spirit beyond the brew, extending the reach of their most sacred natural medicine in a grounded form. Each pinch of this snuff carries the tribe’s prayers, songs, and intentions, a bridge between the user and Kuntanawa ancestral guardians. Having endured near extinction and cultural suppression, the Kuntanawa have reclaimed their rituals and sacred natural medicine as a cornerstone of their identity. In their eyes, working with this hapé is a way to commune with the forest’s wisdom and the spirit of Caapi under the guidance of their elders and ancestors. By sharing this natural medicine with the wider world, they invite others to respectfully join in their living tradition and the deep spirituality it embodies.
