Hapé Circle and Sacred Songs

with Ninawa Pai Da Mata, Patrick Belém and Tanya Mukani

An opportunity to receive the sacred medicine of Dume Deshke (Hapé) from Ninawa Pai Da Mata, a great Pajé (spiritual leader) who carries a deep connection with the spirit of the medicine.

Traditionally prepared from jungle tobacco and medicinal plants, Hapé is ground into a fine powder with prayer, intention and reverence. In sacred ritual, it is received as a way to connect with Yuxibu, the divine energy of creation and the wisdom of the forest.

The ceremony offers a space for grounding, reflection and connection with the natural world. It is held with care, respect and deep intention.

Come meet this sacred medicine in a space of prayer and reverence.
