- **Event Description**: About the event
This is a trauma-informed gathering, created with care, compassion, and deep respect for the personal journeys of all who attend. Introduction to Mapacho &amp; Hapé is an immersive experience that gently combines education, meditation, and sacred ceremony within a safe, supportive, and grounded environment.


Guided by trauma-informed facilitators Azim Nobeebaccus, Shane Cloudscapper, and Samantha Nobeebaccus, participants are invited to explore the ancient Amazonian medicines of Mapacho (Nicotiana rustica) and Hapé (pronounced ha-peh) through learning, prayer, and direct experience. Every element of this gathering honours emotional safety, personal boundaries, and the sacred wisdom of the plants, allowing each person to connect at their own pace, with trust and presence.


Part One: Introduction to Mapacho &amp; Plant Consciousness
Facilitated by Azim Nobeebaccus


The evening opens with Azim holding and opening the space, sharing his lived experience and relationship with Papa Mapacho, one of the most revered plant allies in Amazonian traditions.


Azim has worked closely with Mapacho for over a decade, developing a deep, respectful relationship through ceremony, study, and lived practice. Drawing from this experience, he will share insights into the spirit of Mapacho and its role within Amazonian cosmology. Through a deep, guided meditation, participants are invited to connect with the spirit of Mapacho and explore the concept of plant consciousness, what it means to enter into relationship with a plant through intention, reverence, and listening, rather than unconscious consumption.


Azim will also reflect on the contrasting relationships with tobacco: how it is commonly associated with addiction and harm in the Western world, while in Indigenous Amazonian contexts, Mapacho is approached ceremonially, with respect, and used as a potent spiritual ally. This opening sets a grounded, intentional foundation for the rest of the evening, inviting presence, curiosity, and reverence.


Part Two: Hapé Wisdom Workshop &amp; Sacred Ceremony
Facilitated by Shane Cloudscapper


Following the Mapacho introduction, participants are guided into a Hapé wisdom workshop and traditional ceremony, facilitated by Shane Cloudscapper.


Hapé Education &amp; Sharing Circle
This experiential workshop provides essential understanding before entering ceremony, exploring:

Origins &amp; Meaning – The Indigenous roots of Hapé among Amazonian tribes and its traditional use for grounding, focus, and spiritual purification.

Plant Alchemy &amp; Creation – How sacred blends are made using Mapacho and other medicinal plants, each carrying distinct energetic qualities.

Different Types of Hapé – Insight into blends such as Tsunu (grounding), Parika (energising), Corda (cleansing), and Yawanawa (balancing).

Spiritual &amp; Therapeutic Context – How Hapé may support meditation, clarity, and emotional processing when used with intention, respect, and care.

Serving Tools &amp; Sacred Breath – Learning about the tepi and kuripe, and the art of prayerful application.


This part is held in a trauma-informed, inclusive space where learning arises through curiosity rather than pressure.


Traditional Hapé Ceremony
Participants are then invited into a traditional Hapé ceremony, guided with reverence and care. The ceremony includes:

Opening Blessing &amp; Grounding – Invocation of the Four Directions and purification of the space through prayer and intention.

Intention Setting – Gentle guidance inward to connect with what you wish to release or invite in.

Offering of Gratitude – Honouring the medicine, the tribes, and Mother Earth.

Receiving the Medicine – Hapé is served through the tepi in prayer and reverence.

Silent Integration – Time for rest, breath, and inner reflection.

Closing Circle – Sharing (optional), grounding, and collective gratitude.


Participation is always invitational. You are welcome to engage at a level that feels safe and aligned for you.
