Spirituality Events in Grand Rapids

In this workshop we will learn about a very misunderstood and very powerful plant, sacred tobacco, also known as Mapacho. It's considered to be one of the oldest sacred plants and also one of the most widely used across different cultures. You will learn about its medicinal properties and how to work with it conscientiously. It is a different strain of plant than common tobacco - and you do not inhale this type of tobacco. We will also have the opportunity to experiment respectfully with another tobacco-based substance called hape (non-hallucinogenic, it simply clears out stagnant, dense and anxious energy quickly and is very helpful for meditation, which we will do together after). Indigenous communities use this very safe and legal substance regularly.
