Essences of the Rain Forest - Hapé Ceremony with Itzhak Beery

Join us for a 2.5 hour ceremonial journey guided by Itzhak Beery. The circle begins with a short introduction to Hapé – a sacred snuff traditionally used by Indigenous peoples of the Amazon for grounding, clearing, and deepening spiritual connection.

The medicine is administered individually, inviting each participant into a seated process of inner alignment. As the Hapé begins to work, the space will be held with Icaros – sacred healing songs – accompanied by the steady rhythm of drum and rattle. The vibrations guide the energy, support emotional release, and create a safe ceremonial container for deep presence and personal insight.

The workshop will take place in East Sheen, a 15min walk from Mortlake Station near Palewell Common. The exact address will be shared after registration.

Since 1995, he bridges the spiritual and practical wisdom his indigenous teachers entrusted in him with a powerful contemporary approach relevant to our stressful and unbalanced modern times.

Itzhak apprenticed with Taita Don José Joaquin Pineda a well-known fifth-generation Ecuadorian Quechua Yachak (shaman) from the village of Iluman, who initiated him into the Sacred 24 Yachaks Circle of Imbabura. He was also initiated by Shoré, an Amazonian Kanamari Pajè (shaman) on the banks of the Rio Negro. Itzhak studied and assisted for 12 years with Ipupiara Makunaiman (Dr. Bernardo Peixoto) and his Peruvian curandera wife. Additionally, Itzhak studied with elders and shamans in North and South America, Greenland, Siberia, and of his contemporary teachers are Michael Harner, John Perkins, Hank Wesselman, Lewis Mehl-Madrona, and Tom Cowan.
