A CEREMONIAL WELLNESS EXPERIENCE
Creating Intentional Space to Pause and Be Present
Ceremonial experiences can offer intentional time away from everyday distractions and create space for reflection, presence, and personal awareness.
Hapé should be approached with particular care because blends differ and may contain biologically active ingredients, including nicotine-containing tobacco. Before participating, visitors should understand what blend is being used, what the experience may involve, potential risks, and what screening or preparation is required.
Please note: Hapé Ceremonies are nonclinical wellness experiences. They are not psychotherapy, medical treatment, or substitutes for appropriate mental-health or medical care.

Nausea
Dizziness
Headache

Changes in blood pressure
Feeling faint or unwell
Other reactions depending on ingredients and individual health factors

Before Participating
Participants should share relevant health information with the facilitator before taking part, including known medical conditions, current medications or supplements, allergies or sensitivities, previous reactions to nicotine or tobacco, and any history of fainting or significant cardiovascular symptoms.
