Description

Bring your sound bowls, crystals, hiking shoes and water! It’s Discovery Time!! Mother Nature has so many treasures for us, and we are ready to learn… On our hike we will discuss: Local Plant Identification Emergency Preparedness Tips And we will all have an opportunity to meditate together as a group with the sacred medicine of Hapé (Rapè). Rapé is the preparation of powdered medicinal herbs, often with a tobacco base. Hapé is typically made with mapacho - Hapé elicits a feeling of alertness and elevation. From the indigenous point of view, hapé is a sacred shamanic snuff medicine with profound healing effects. Hapé is made from different medicinal plants for different purposes – to induce visions, to have energy, and to enhance the senses with the aromatic fragrance of the plants used in the blend. Today, indigenous tribes in the Amazon basin and those of us in the West continue to use hapé in all aspects of life, from formal ritual use in rites of puberty, initiation, social gatherings and healing ceremonies, and to simply tuning into Nature and the healing power of sacred plant medicines alone or with friends. Old Stone fort Mound has actual mounds that through research have been deemed as Ritual and Ceremonial places of old… we are excited to have ceremony there. Our rendezvous spot will be announced during the week! Stay Tuned!
