Rapé Ceremonies

Join us twice a month for a deeply transformative Rapé ceremony at Alinea. Held in our serene Shala, this sacred circle also includes the powerful practices of Sananga and healing medicine songs. Our experienced facilitators, Rodrigo and Marciano, bring their profound spirituality and musical talent to create a beautiful and enriching experience. Engage in this unique ceremony to connect deeply with yourself and the Alinea community.

What is Rapé and Sananga?

Rapé (pronounced rap-eh) is a sacred Amazonian medicine made from a finely ground blend of medicinal plants, tree bark, and ashes. Traditionally used by indigenous tribes, Rapé is known for its powerful ability to clear the mind, enhance spiritual connection, and facilitate deep healing. During our Rapé ceremony at Alinea, we also incorporate Sananga, a potent eye medicine derived from Amazonian plants, which enhances spiritual vision and opens the energetic pathways.  Traditional medicine songs, sung by our skilled facilitators Rodrigo and Marciano, create a sacred and harmonious atmosphere, guiding participants through their journey and deepening the healing experience. This combination of ancient practices offers a profound and transformative experience, fostering connection and inner peace.

Who would benefit from a Rapé Ceremony?

Our Rapé ceremony at Alinea is open to everyone, regardless of your experience level or background in spiritual practices. Whether you are seeking mental clarity, emotional healing, spiritual growth, or simply a deeper connection with yourself and the community, this ceremony offers profound benefits. It is especially supportive for those looking to cleanse and rejuvenate their mind and body, navigate personal challenges, or enhance their meditation practice. Embrace this sacred journey in a welcoming and inclusive environment, guided by experienced facilitators and surrounded by the nurturing energy of our Alinea community.

How to Prepare

To fully benefit from the Rapé ceremony at Alinea, we recommend fasting for 2-3 hours beforehand, as Rapé can sometimes induce purging. Wear comfortable clothes, as you will be sitting in our Shala, and bring an open mind and a respectful attitude, embracing the reverence this ancient practice deserves. Prepare to embark on a profound journey of healing and self-discovery in a sacred and nurturing space.
