ZEN Rapé (ha'peh)

with Ivan Rados

Deepen your understandings of Ivan Rados' Non-dualistic teachings in an immersive, experiential session withn ZEN Rapé (ha'peh) 

This is the first time ha'peh has been used as an ally to Zen teachings to detach from aspects of our mind that are ruling us and preventing us to change and grow.

‘Let’s burn our shit with ZEN ha'peh ceremony.'

Ivan Rados

Rape (pronounced "ha'peh") is an Amazonian plant medicine that is used ceremonially for its cleansing properties. Known colloquially as "shamanic snuff," rapé is made of finely-ground tobacco and other healing ingredients. It is then blown into the nasal cavities using a ceremonial pipe. The effects are felt almost immediately, with common benefits being "total presence" and "clarity of mind."

Due to its detoxifying properties, rapé is often used in conjunction with ayahuasca and other sacred plant medicines. This is a medicine we have introduced to some of our retreats as well, including WILD ZEN MAN’S RETREAT AND WILDERNESS RETREAT.

This session with Ivan Rados will remind you of the medicine within your heart. In that expansive state, Ivan Rados will share with you his middle point non-dualistic teachings, and guide you through a Zen method of HAMMERING ONE THOUGHT, followed by ha'peh. 

Medicinal and Spiritual Benefits of Hapé/Rapé:

  • Helping to enter the state off inner peace and clarity.

  • Calming the mind, and providing clarity and focus.

  • Relaxing the nervous system, reducing stress, as well as mental conditions like depression and anxiety, and promoting a sense of well-being.

  • Removing emotional blocks

  • Cleansing the sinuses and respiratory tract, and cleaning the pineal gland and opening 3rd eyes.

  • Supporting the digestive system and promoting bowel movements.

How Hapé Helps with the Mind, Body, and Soul:

Bringing One into the Moment: The practice of administering Hapé is a ritual in itself, requiring conscious anttentiveness and intent. As the snuff is blown into the nostrils, the immediate impact brings a sharp focus to the present moment. This intense experience can act as a catalyst for entering a meditative state, where one is fully immersed in the ‘now,’ detached from past worries and future anxieties.

Hapé serves as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, offering a path to deeper self-awareness and holistic well-being. Its importance transcends mere physical health, touching the essence of what it means to be fully alive and connected to all aspects of being.

"The entire event made me more conscious of the parts of myself that were unconscious. I really didn't expect it to kick my *ss! I felt hyped in the days following the ceremony, and that "energy" turned into motivation. I've since made some serious changes to my life... Changes that I needed to make (but didn't know it at the time)." -

— Kabir
