The 6-day Vital Life retreat includes Cacao and Hape to help you open your mind to possibilities and integrate the experiences.

Rapé is a sacred shamanic medicine that has been used by healers of the Amazon basin for thousands of years. It is pronounced 'ha-peh' in English, but is also referred to as 'hape', 'hapi', or 'rapay'. It is a nasal snuff and a very rare, sacred, powerful, and profoundly healing and cleansing miracle medicine. It is made in a very sacred and labor-intensive process. Rapé is a complex blend of pulverized Amazonian medicinal plants, nicotine trees, leaves, seeds, and other sacred ingredients. It contains Nicotiana Rustica, a type of tobacco also known as mapacho. It is different from the tobacco used in cigarettes, which is called Nicotiana Tabacum.

The blend is blown high up into the nostrils with a pipe called a Tepi. The blow immediately focuses the mind, stops the chattering, and opens the entire freed mindspace for your intentions. Furthermore, rapé helps releasing emotional, physical, and spiritual illnesses and eases negativity and confusion, enabling a thorough grounding of your mind. Likewise, rapé is used to re-align the user with their energy channels and with their higher self, and to intensify their connection with the world and the universe. In addition, rapé paves the way for detoxifying the body and cleans out all excess mucus, toxins, and bacteria.
