Description

Yawanawá Hapé • Chief

Hapé Chief is a very special hapé created by Nixiwaka, also known as Biraci Brasil, the Chief of the Yawanawá tribe.

• Energetic Profile:
Carefully prepared and infused with prayers, this Hapé carries profound spiritual significance.

• Traditional Wisdom:
Biraci Brasil, or Nixiwaka, played a crucial role in leading his people back to their roots after suffering significant losses due to invasions by rubber tappers and religious missionaries. He was the first in a long time to undergo an initiation diet, reconnecting with his ancestors. One of the forgotten remedies he revived was Rumã, also known as Hapé. His efforts are one of the main reasons this indigenous medicine is available for consecration today.
As a leader, Biraci moved his people from their enslaved original location to establish the village of Nova Esperança. Eventually, he led them back to their original home along the Gregório River, founding the Sacred Village, the last inhabited place in the Yawanawá indigenous lands.
In the early 1990s, the indigenous resistance movement in Brazil gained momentum, driven by young visionaries from various tribes. Biraci was a prominent figure in this movement and now dedicates his life entirely to the spirituality of his people.

• The blend contains:
Moi native to the region, the renowned Sabia, and Tsunu ash.

• About Hapé:
Hapé (pronounced ‘haa-pay’) is a sacred herbal blend made by indigenous tribes of the Amazon.
It is used with instruments to blow the hapé through the nostrils.

Traditional peoples use this healing hapé to clear the mind, purify thoughts, bring clarity, achieve spiritual alignment, and cleanse negativity and heaviness from the body, mind, and soul. Indigenous tribes have used this medicine for thousands of years to heal their communities and connect with the Creator.
