Connection. Intention. Community.
Gather beneath the moon. Slow down. Reconnect.
There is something special about gathering together, stepping away from the noise of everyday life, and making space to simply be present.
The Full Moon Hapé Community Circle is an opportunity to connect with ourselves and one another, share intentions, and experience the beauty of community.
Held outdoors beneath the full moon at Rotary Park in Lake Havasu City, these gatherings are open to both men and women who are curious about traditional Hapé practices or simply looking for a meaningful way to connect.
Whether you’re familiar with HapĂ© or completely new to it, you are welcome here.
What Is Hapé?
Hapé (also spelled Rapé) is a traditional Amazonian botanical snuff used by various Indigenous peoples of the Amazon. Preparations vary by tradition and blend, and many contain tobacco alongside other plant materials.
Hapé has been incorporated into traditional ceremonial, spiritual, and communal practices for generations.
During our gatherings, I’ll introduce the blends being shared, discuss their ingredients and traditional context, and provide an opportunity to learn before deciding whether participation feels appropriate.
What to Expect
Each gathering is intentionally relaxed and guided, with room for connection, reflection, and individual experience.
Our time together may include:
- A welcome and introduction to the gathering
- A grounding moment and setting personal intentions
- Education about Hapé and the blends being shared
- An opportunity for individual, optional participation
- Time for quiet reflection, conversation, and integration
- Closing our circle together
Drums and other instruments may also be incorporated when available.
There is no pressure to share, participate, or have a particular experience. You are welcome to simply be present.
Who Is This Gathering For?
These circles are open to adults 18 and older, all genders.
You do not need previous experience with HapĂ©, and you don’t need to arrive with a particular intention or expectation.
Come as you are, with an open mind and a willingness to connect.
Safety & Informed Participation
Hapé is not appropriate for everyone. Many preparations contain tobacco and nicotine, which carry health risks and may cause adverse effects.
Participation is entirely voluntary. Ingredients and potential risks will be discussed before any administration. Please disclose relevant health conditions, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any concerns beforehand. If you have medical concerns, consult a qualified healthcare professional before considering participation.
You are never required to receive Hapé to attend the gathering.

Come Gather With Us
The Rising Flame is about creating spaces where people can slow down, connect, learn, and remember the importance of community.
You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to be on a particular path. And you certainly don’t have to do it all alone.
Sometimes, it’s simply about showing up, sharing space, and connecting with the people around you.
I look forward to gathering with you.
With love,
Sabrina Perry
