Rapé (pronounced ha-peh) is a sacred medicine of the Huni Kuin people of the Amazon. It is not simply a powder—it is a living spirit, a sacred tool used to cleanse the spirit, clarify the mind, and align the physical and energetic bodies with the divine.
Rapé is not a trend, nor a ceremony of convenience. It is an ancient tradition that demands discipline, preparation, and prayer. This medicine must be walked with reverence, not passed around without knowledge. To carry Rapé is to carry a lineage, a responsibility, and a living relationship with the forest.

This sacred teaching is led by Shaman Siriani Aguiá Branca.
A revered woman of the forest, Shaman Siriani has spent decades in deep relationship with the sacred medicines of the Amazon. She has traveled the world carrying these traditions with integrity, always remaining faithful to the ancestral ways. Her breath, her song, and her presence are shaped by years of dietas, initiations, and service to the spirit of the jungle.
She does not teach from ego, but as a guardian of knowledge, entrusted to pass it forward only in the right way, at the right time, to the right hearts.
Accompanied by the lineage holders:
🌿 Txana Sian
🌿 Txana Yube
🌿 Txana Siriani
🌿 Txana Yasa

These Txanas carry the medicine, songs, and prayers of the Huni Kuin and the Honey Queen Lineage, each walking with a deep commitment to the preservation of sacred knowledge. Together, they bring a balance of masculine and feminine, fire and water, silence and sound—carrying forward the forest’s teachings not just with words, but with presence.

Why This Matters
In today’s world, many offer Rapé after receiving it just a few times. But this is not initiation. Initiation is not a workshop – it is a path.
Rapé carries memory. It carries ancestors. It carries the spirit of the forest.
To serve it requires cleansing, silence, surrender, and discipline—so that your breath becomes a tool for healing, your presence a channel for the divine.
This is what we are here to teach—not commercialized rituals, but sacred tradition.
A Reminder
🌀 Tradition is the intelligence.
🌀 We are not here to improve it—we are here to remember it.
🌀 The forest already knows.
🌀 Our task is to become clear vessels for that knowledge to flow through.
