About

Join us for an unforgettable masterclass experience with Chief Mapu, a respected Pajé (shaman) from the Huni Kuin tribe in the Brazilian Amazon.

He will guide us on an enlightening journey into the world of Hapé medicine, a traditional Amazonian snuff renowned for its healing properties.

Hapé (also known as rapè, rapé, hapeh, hapé, and more) is a sacred Amazonian snuff and holds extraordinary healing properties that encompass physical, emotional, and spiritual realms.


In this course, Chief Mapu will cover:

* Exploring the essence of hapé:
     - Unveiling its true nature
     - Understanding its purpose
     - Unraveling its multifaceted benefits

* Mastering the art of hapé:
- Learning proper application techniques
     - Discovering opportune moments for usage
     - Embracing the ritualistic aspects of its application

* Craftsmanship of hapé:
     - Insight into the traditional production process and ingredients
     - Cultivating an appreciation for the cultural significance behind its creation

* Enhancing your hapé journey:
     - Acknowledging the relevance in the present society
     - Demystifying misconceptions 

* Engaging in a traditional hapé chant:
     - Learn a chant associated with hapé
     - Absorb the healing energies of a traditional hapé chant

* During the class, it's suggested to have your own hapé to apply while listening to the chant. 

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to learn from Chief Mapu as he shares the ancient wisdom and healing secrets of hapé.

A recording of the live presentation will be made available afterwards that registered participants will have access to for 30 days.

About This Fundraiser

About this fundraiser: 

This is a fundraiser to support Mapu's Huwa Karu Yuxibu Center.

Mapu is an advisor to Aniwa's sister nonprofit, the Boa Foundation. This fundraiser is supported by the Boa Foundation.

The social project of the Huwa Karu Yuxibu Center serves 40 native families in a total of 210 people (children, adults and elderly) who are in social vulnerability in the city of Rio Branco - Acre. The project aims to strengthen the cultural identity of the Huni Kuin people.

About The Huwã Karu Yuxibu Center:

The Huwã Karu Yuxibu Center is a non-profit social project founded in August 2015 with the mission of strengthening the culture and spirituality of the Huni Kuin people. Coordinated by the spiritual leader and chief Mapu Huni Kuin, along with a technical team and the support of partners and volunteers, the center is located in a private area a few kilometers from the city of Rio Branco, capital of the state of Acre, in the Brazilian Amazon.

With the help of donations and the spiritual work carried out by the Mapu leader, we carry out activities aimed at environmental preservation, promotion of food security and the cultivation of traditional foods. In addition, we promote the empowerment and autonomy of indigenous families and young students who have moved from their villages and now face marginalization and social vulnerability in the urban area.
