Vashawa Hapé – Protection, Clarity, Transformation

Description

Strength – Strong

Vashawá is a traditional Katukina hapé named after the serpent, an animal deeply respected throughout Amazonian cultures as a symbol of protection, transformation, wisdom, and heightened awareness. This blend has been prepared using traditional methods passed down through generations and is valued for its powerful character.

Vashawa is the ideal blend to help us to connect with our inner and higher selves and gain direction and assistance from these wonderful spirits we encounter during the ritual. The sacred serpent appears to us and transports us to higher astral levels. The serpent is a spirit guide; she is naturally knowledgeable about growth, protection, and shedding.

Those who work with Vashawá often appreciate its balanced combination of strength and clarity. Rather than feeling overwhelming, the blend is traditionally regarded as firm yet steady, helping practitioners become more centred, focused, and connected with the present moment.

Vashawa’s has a strong association with the Serpent, which represents shedding what no longer serves, embracing personal growth, and moving forward with renewed awareness.

• Energetic cleansing before ceremony
• Strengthening intention and presence

• Heightened intuition and inner guidance
• Releases emotional heaviness and mental clutter
• Encouraging self-reflection and personal insight

This is a potent blend that, according to the Noki Koi, is great for sadness and low self-esteem because it helps us focus on the here and now and pay closer attention to the people and things in our lives. We learn how to be more authentic, and to let go of our critical self-judgment during this process. 

About the Noki Koi 

Noki Koî are indigenous people of the Pano linguistic family who inhabit two territories of the Brazilian Amazon in the state of Acre in the north of Brazil. They are known as the first people. They are also referred to as the Guardians of Kambo for having a strong tradition in the use of this medicine, along with the other well-known traditional medicines of the forest.  

Divided into 6 clans, among which are the Varinawa (the people of the sun) and Kamanawa (the people of the jaguar), they are one of the few Brazilian indigenous groups that still maintain their entire population speaking the native language, the Noki Vana, which shows their remarkable strength in keeping the ancestral tradition. Maintaining the ancestral language has played a vital role in preserving their chants, activities, culture, history and spiritual knowledge.

In the Noki Koi history, the people were born from underneath the earth and with them, all of the forest medicines, the chants, the food and the culture were born.

Stories of Noki Koi say that the people were born four thousand years ago.
