Genesis
Our sacred Sananga is sourced directly from the Shanenawa Tribe, known for their deep spiritual connection with the forest and its healing plants. Made from powerful Amazonian roots, this sacred medicine is prepared through prayer, song, and ceremony—each drop carrying the vibration of ancestral wisdom and the spirit of the rainforest.
The making of Sananga is a sacred act, blending healing tradition with spiritual devotion. During preparation, prayers and icaros (healing chants) are sung to activate the medicine’s energetic power, infusing it with light and protection.
The strength of Sananga lies not only in its physical properties but in the harmony of those who prepare it—the alignment of intention, environment, and spirit. It is a medicine of awakening and purification, guiding the soul toward clarity and deeper connection with all that is.
Sananga medicine has been used by Indigenous peoples of the Amazon for thousands of years. Traditionally, it is applied before hunting, as it sharpens vision, enhances focus, and clears lingering stagnant energies from the body and mind.
Among the Shanenawa people of the Brazilian Amazon, the Sananga ceremony is a sacred moment of purification and alignment with the spirit of nature. It is performed with prayer, intention, and deep respect for the plant, which is considered a living teacher.
The ritual begins with a prayer to the forest and to the ancestors, asking permission to work with the medicine. The space is prepared with calm and presence, often in nature or near a fire, to honor the spirit of the plant and create harmony among all participants.
The Sananga medicine, made from the roots of the Tabernaemontana undulata plant, is freshly prepared by the Shanenawa healers. It is always handled with reverence, as they believe its spirit carries the strength of the forest and the wisdom of their ancestors.
When ready, the healer gently applies a few drops of Sananga into each eye. The moment of application brings a strong burning sensation, which is understood as the medicine entering deeply — cleansing the eyes, mind, and energy field. Participants are encouraged to stay still, breathe, and focus their thoughts on what they wish to release or bring clarity to.
As the intensity softens, the body relaxes and a profound sense of peace and clarity follows. The vision may feel sharper, the heart lighter, and the mind calmer. For the Shanenawa, this process symbolizes seeing with truth, both outwardly and inwardly, reconnecting the person to nature and to their own spirit.
The Sananga ceremony is not only for healing the eyes, but for renewing energy, restoring focus, and bringing harmony to the body and soul. It is a sacred gift from the forest, reminding all who receive it that true vision begins within.
Building Connections with the Shanenawa
We have established deep and meaningful connections with the Shanenawa people, an Indigenous community of the Brazilian Amazon. With a population of a few thousand, most of the Shanenawa live in the state of Acre, Brazil, along the upper Envira River region. Their rich culture, ancestral knowledge, and spiritual traditions, including the use of sacred medicines such as Sananga, hapé, and Kambo, are central to their way of life and spiritual harmony with the forest. We deeply honor and respect the Shanenawa people for their wisdom and their continued guardianship of the Amazon’s sacred traditions and natural balance.
Guardians of Ancestral Wisdom and Spiritual Harmony
The name Shanenawa means “blue bird people” in their native language, symbolizing freedom, vision, and connection to the spirit of the forest. The Shanenawa maintain a deep spiritual relationship with nature and are known for their sacred rituals, storytelling, and the use of traditional plant medicines such as Sananga, hapé, and Kambo.
Central to their way of life is the principle of living in harmony with the natural world. Their ceremonies focus on healing, cleansing, and spiritual alignment, helping individuals reconnect with themselves, the forest, and the wisdom of their ancestors.
Through these sacred practices, the Shanenawa people continue to honor and preserve the ancestral teachings that have guided their community for countless generations, carrying forward the spirit of the Amazon with devotion and respect.
Mastering the Art of Hapé: The Sacred Craft
The Shanenawa people are respected for their deep knowledge of sacred plant medicines and their skill in preparing traditional hapé blends. Our Sananga and hapé sourced from the Shanenawa Tribe are especially valued for their purity, strength, and spiritual essence.
The preparation process is carried out with great care and intention. Each step, from selecting the plants to grinding and blending the ingredients, is performed with prayers and blessings, honoring the spirit of the medicine and the guidance of the ancestors. These moments of reverence infuse the hapé with powerful spiritual and energetic vitality, transforming it into more than just a physical blend; it becomes a living connection to the wisdom and healing energy of the forest.
Hapé & Spiritual Practices
It is important to emphasize that hapé, as a medicine, carries not only its physical properties but also an energetic force that channels the Indigenous energy of the Shanenawa people. This approach ensures that each blend is much more than just a mapacho based product; it is a sacred offering that embodies the profound connection the Shanenawa have with the earth and their spiritual traditions.
Thus, every time we work with the mapacho, we invite the spirit of tobacco and Pachamama, our beloved earth. We honor the medicine and its ability to open pathways to higher consciousness.
