What is Rapé?

In the rich tapestry of Amazonian tribal traditions, Rapé (pronounced ‘ha-peh’) stands out as a profound ceremonial snuff, deeply revered for its power to cleanse the spiritual body and mind. Made from finely ground tobacco leaves and a blend of other medicinal herbs and minerals, Rapé is a cornerstone in the indigenous cultures of the Amazon basin.

At MasterPlan retreats, we honor the ancient wisdom embedded in the practice of Rapé, embracing its capacity to foster intense grounding, clear negative energies, and facilitate profound internal connections.

What are the benefits of Rapé?

Embracing Rapé in your spiritual journey opens up new paths of healing, awareness, and connection. At Master Plan retreats, we are committed to guiding you through this experience with compassion, respect, and deep reverence for the traditions that have entrusted us with this sacred medicine.

Whether you are seeking to deepen your meditation practice, cleanse your spirit, or simply explore the profound wisdom of Amazonian plant medicines, Rapé offers a unique and grounding path toward inner transformation.

Grounding and Centering: Rapé is known for its grounding effects. It brings about a state of heightened awareness and focus, anchoring you firmly in the present moment—a vital step for those embarking on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment.
Cleansing of Body and Spirit: Rapé is traditionally used to cleanse the body of toxins and the spirit of negative energies. Its application induces a powerful process of purification, preparing participants for deeper spiritual work.
Enhanced Meditation and Spiritual Insight: By clearing the mind and sharpening focus, Rapé supports a deeper meditative state, allowing for a closer connection with the self and the universe. It opens the door to profound spiritual insights and an enhanced sense of intuition.
Community Connection:The ritual of sharing Rapé in a circle fosters a sense of unity and mutual support among participants. This communal aspect is crucial, creating a shared energy that amplifies the individual and collective experience.
Physical Detoxification: It stimulates the body to release toxins, supporting overall physical health and wellness.
Improved Focus and Concentration By quieting the chatter of the mind, Rapé helps to hone focus, making it an excellent aid for meditation and introspective practices.
Enhanced Intuition: By aligning the chakras and clearing mental fog, Rapé can sharpen intuition, allowing users to tune more accurately into their inner guidance.

Experiencing Rapé with Master Plan

Rapé is applied using a special pipe made for the purpose, known as a ‘Tepi’ or ‘Kuripe’. The process is conducted with utmost care, respecting the personal space and readiness of each participant. After the application, participants are given space for meditation and reflection. The effects of Rapé, although profound, are also subtle, encouraging an inward journey of contemplation and spiritual awakening. As the experience concludes, we come together to share insights and reflections.

In our retreats, rapé is offered in ceremonies establishing a sacred protected space through rituals that honor and respect its origins. Before we administer the Rapé we guide you to establish your intention and focus your experience towards healing, clarity, or whatever aspect of your life you seek to enhance, and in case of being in an ayahuasca ceremony can be used to help you grow, purge or unblock you from a mental loop.
