Rapé (herbal snuff tobacco) is a sacred medicine of Amazonian tribes, traditionally administered by blowing the powder into the nose as part of a ceremonial practice. The Rapé blend carries protective, cleansing, and healing qualities that intelligently move through the body and help awaken our awareness.
After the serving of the Rapé medicine, we deepen the healing process with a shared breathing practice and a shamanic drum journey.
Preparation and participation guidelines:
Please avoid eating for 4 hours before the ceremony if possible.
On the day of the ceremony, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and other mind-altering substances.
Please bring a small bottle of water, tissues, a sleeping mat (plifoam), and a blanket.
The program is led by:

Gauranga Das – yoga teacher, sound therapist, and shamanic apprentice.
I encountered yoga and pranayama at the age of 18, and at 19 I began practicing meditation and exploring spirituality. I started my path in shamanism under the guidance of János Majercsik Oguz, and I also study the use of medicines and Inca ceremonial practices as a student of Peruvian healers and shamans. I received my shamanic initiation in Peru from the Apaza family.
