Hapé Ceremony
Manchester
Sacred plant medicine rooted in Amazonian tradition.

Each community has its own blend, which can combine Amazonian plants, seeds, tree barks, sacred tobacco and other natural ingredients. Join AJ Rowe in Gatley, South Manchester for a guided Hapé ceremony held with intention and respect for its origins.
What is a Hapé ceremony?
Hapé, also known as Rapé, is a sacred plant medicine originating from the Amazon and used for thousands of years by Indigenous communities within ceremonial and spiritual traditions.
Different communities prepare their own blends using combinations of Amazonian plants, seeds, tree barks, sacred tobacco and other natural ingredients. The exact blend can vary according to the tradition it comes from.
At Conquer Me 365, AJ approaches Hapé as a ceremonial practice, creating time to slow down, set intention and understand the experience before taking part.
Settle into the space
Take your time, get comfortable and understand what to expect before the ceremony begins.
Become present

Guided by AJ
AJ guides you through the ceremonial experience with time and space afterwards before leaving.
That's completely fine. No previous ceremonial experience is needed. AJ will explain the process and what to expect before the ceremony begins.
Initiated by the Huni Kuin.
AJ's relationship with Hapé comes from personal experience and time spent learning within the tradition itself.
He was initiated into the practice of Hapé by members of the Huni Kuin, an Indigenous people of the Amazon with a living ceremonial tradition that includes Rapé, also known as Hapé.
That experience continues to shape the way AJ holds ceremony today: with respect for its Amazonian origins, intention in the way the space is created and an understanding that Hapé is a sacred plant medicine, not simply another wellbeing trend.
Tradition matters. The origins of Hapé and the communities who have carried the practice are acknowledged and respected within every Conquer Me 365 ceremony.
