Rapé, administered by Jeroen Eefting, is known as a healing substance for thousands of years by the old native tribes from the Amazon rainforest.
Rapé is the ash of the tobacco plant; Nicotiana Rustica. This plant is seen as holy by the Shaman. First the plant got cut in little pieces, dried during a holy ritual above the fire and when dry, grinded.
Rapé is meant to cleanse your physical, emotional and mental bodies. It gives you the opportunity to alter your state of conciousness. Rapé is not a hallucinogen, so it won’t show you things that are not there but you will feel more connected with your innerworld and the world around you.
After the ceremonie you might experience clearity in your thinking/thoughts, your emotional state might shift and you might be in closer connection with your breathing.
During the ceremony physical and emotional sensations might come up as; shaking, crying, vomiting or the need to shout. Remember, this is all part of the proces.

Also Sacred Cacao, given by Elina Bakker, is seen as a plant medicine with healing capacities for thousands of years by the old tribes from the Amazon.
The Sacred Cacao helps you to connect with your physical body as with your heart. Just as Rapé the Sacred Cacao will help you to brighten your awereness and tap into a alterned state of conciousness without hallucinations. Together with the meditations, Sacred Cacao will help you show you your patterns, cultivate more self-love and more acceptance to the things around you.
Keep your aura and mind open, listen well and don’t rush to solutions and conclusions. This way the Sacred Cacao might help you on your path to personal growth
