Rapé & Sananga Ceremony with CACIQUE ISAKA HUNI KUIN

  • Open Hearts Lisboa R. do Diário de Notícias 59 Lisboa Portugal (map)

SAKA is the grandson of the first female spiritual leader in the HUNI KUIN tradition and has been working alongside his grandparents since he was very little.

Today, Isaka is a strong leadership for the HUNI KUIN and has been spreading their ancestral knowledge throughout Brazil and the world.

Here he brings the medicine of Rapé, taking you on a journey guided by music.

The indigenous peoples who have long used rapé see the ceremonial use of rapé as a form of prayer that “call upon the forces of Nature, the blessing of the animals of the forest, and power of medicinal plants to heal us and give us strength.” It is, therefore, important to use this substance in a respectful environment focused on healing.

While rapé is often made of several Amazonian plants, the core of most rapé snuffs is the tobacco species Nicotiana rustica. This Amazonian tobacco, also known as mapacho, is used extensively in tribal rituals and is much stronger than N. tabacum, the type of tobacco found in cigarettes.

In addition to the tobacco, rapé usually includes the alkaline ashes of other plants such as cinnamon, tonka bean, clover, banana peel, or mint, but many shamans keep the exact ingredients of their particular rapé a secret.

The tobacco and other ingredients are ground into a fine powder, which is then blown or snorted high into each of the nostril cavities through a ceremonial pipe made of bone or bamboo.

Rapé is a cleansing medicine, you come out the other side of the experience feeling calmer, more focused, and more in line with your true self.

Benefits of Using Rapé

  • Helps focus and sharpen the mind.

  • Clears a person or space of distracting, bad energies in preparation for intention setting.

  • Clears sinuses of mucus and bacteria, thereby helping to combat colds and respiratory ailments.

  • Provides a calming, grounding effect on the emotions that lasts much longer that the initial sensation.

SANANGA eye drops is a natural product derived from a plant found in the Amazon region of Brazil and other countries in South America such as Peru and Ecuador.

The eye drops are made from the root of the bush-shaped brejeira plant called Tabernaemontana Undulata, which is ground and made into a liquid extract.

It´s traditionally used by indigenous peoples of the Amazon for medicinal and ritualistic purposes. Also used in spiritual rituals and healing ceremonies as it is believed to help purify the physical and spiritual body, improve vision and mental clarity, and increase sensory perception.
