Bridging worlds through sacred plants, ancestral wisdom, and global collaboration.
At Sacred Connection, we believe that reconnecting with the Earth’s sacred plants is a pathway to personal healing, collective awakening, and planetary renewal. Our work is rooted in a deep reverence for the wisdom of Indigenous traditions, and our mission is to serve as a living bridge — between ancient and modern, forest and city, North and South, spirit and science.
We are more than a botanical company. We are a global alliance of seekers, medicine carriers, traditional artisans, herbalists, researchers, and Indigenous elders, all working together to share the gifts of nature with integrity, authenticity, and purpose.
Our Origins
Sacred Connection was born from decades of immersion in the world of plant medicine, traditional healing, and sustainable trade. It began with a deep personal calling to support Indigenous cultures and make their sacred tools and teachings available to those walking the path of reconnection and remembrance.
In 2022, Sacred Connection merged with Maya Ethnobotanicals, one of the oldest and most respected European platforms for ethnobotanical products. Founded over 25 years ago, Maya was a pioneer in the online availability of sacred plants, ceremonial tools, and traditional knowledge. This union brought together Maya’s deep European roots with Sacred Connection’s extensive fieldwork and partnerships across Brazil and South America, forming a more complete and multidimensional offering to the world.
Today, Sacred Connection operates from three main hubs:
- 🇧🇷 Brazil, where we source and co-create directly with Indigenous tribes and forest communities
- 🇳🇱 The Netherlands, home to our European distribution and research collaborations
- 🇺🇸 The United States, where we manage fulfillment and educational outreach through our Florida-based partner facility
These three pillars allow us to remain grounded in tradition while staying connected to our global community.
Our Mission
Our mission is to honor and preserve ancestral plant knowledge by supporting traditional communities and offering sacred plant allies to the world in a respectful, sustainable, and legally responsible way.
We are committed to:
- 🌿 Protecting Indigenous knowledge systems and spiritual traditions
- 🤝 Creating fair and reciprocal trade networks that empower communities rather than exploit them
- 📚 Educating the public on the cultural, spiritual, and ecological importance of plant medicines
- 🌍 Promoting environmental stewardship through conscious sourcing and reforestation partnerships
- 🔬 Integrating ancestral knowledge with modern science and wellness practices
We believe that sacred plants are not commodities — they are teachers, allies, and bridges to deeper wisdom. As such, we treat every step of our process with reverence, responsibility, and transparency.
What We Offer
We specialize in ethically sourced, high-quality shamanic products, including:
- 🌀 Rapé (Hapé) — including traditional blends from Yawanawá, Huni Kuin, Apurinã, Nukini, Katukina, and others
- 🌿 Amazonian herbs and tinctures — such as Mulungu, Caapi, Chacruna, Sananga, and more
- 🔥 Ceremonial tools — kuripes, tepis, incenses, and altar accessories
- 💧 Botanical extracts & flower essences — including rare preparations like the Maya Peyote Flower Essence
- 🌱 Wholesale & white label solutions — for aligned retailers, facilitators, and medicine carriers around the world
Each product we offer is a result of direct relationships, years of trust, and a careful balance of ancestral knowledge and modern compliance. All items are handled with spiritual intention and regulatory transparency — registered and shipped through licensed, legal export systems in Brazil, the U.S., and Europe.
Working with Indigenous Communities
One of the pillars of Sacred Connection is our deep work with Indigenous communities in Brazil. We collaborate directly with multiple tribes to support:
- ✅ Sustainable production and traditional preparation of rapé, incenses, and plant medicines
- 🎓 Capacity building — helping young community members develop skills in leadership, technology, and production
- 🧺 Fair trade pricing and community reinvestment
- 🛖 Food sovereignty and autonomy, reducing reliance on external food sources
- 🔥 Cultural preservation, ensuring that rituals, language, and spiritual knowledge are passed on
Our partners are not simply “suppliers” — they are keepers of ancestral knowledge, healers, and visionaries, and we treat these relationships as sacred.
When you purchase from Sacred Connection, you are directly supporting these communities and their efforts to remain sovereign, vibrant, and spiritually rooted in the face of increasing threats from deforestation, land grabs, and cultural erosion.
Our projects
At Sacred Connection, our work with Indigenous communities is not transactional — it is relational, long-term, and rooted in reciprocity. Over the years, in cooperation with our global network of aligned retail partners, we have supported numerous grassroots projects initiated within the tribes themselves.
Through our collaborations, we’ve had the honor to contribute to infrastructure, cultural continuity, and ecological resilience in various territories:
- 🌱 With the Yawanawá, we helped initiate an agroforestry project, integrating food security with reforestation and traditional land stewardship.
- 🏠 With the Katukina, we supported the construction of a medicine house, an artisanal well, and helped provide clothing for children in the community.
- 🔄 Many of our suppliers and tribal partners also fund their own community initiatives through the income generated by the sale of Rapé and other traditional medicines.
These are not charity efforts — they are partnerships of empowerment, where resources are returned to the communities in ways they determine to be most meaningful.
To expand our impact, we are currently in the process of creating our own non-governmental organization (NGO), which will allow us to scale our support, develop more consistent funding pathways, and create a transparent structure through which our customers and partners can directly contribute to meaningful tribal initiatives.
Our vision is to walk alongside the original people of the forest — not to speak for them, but to amplify their voices, support their sovereignty, and help ensure that ancestral knowledge remains alive and respected for generations to come.

Our Foundation & Social Projects
We believe in giving back more than we take. That’s why Sacred Connection supports and funds its own non-profit foundation working with forest communities on:
- 🌾 Food security and permaculture education
- 🧒 Children’s education and school support
- 🧘 Cultural revitalization and spiritual teachings
- 🌳 Environmental restoration and agroforestry projects
Our goal is to help traditional people thrive in their own territories, with the tools to navigate both the traditional and modern worlds — without having to abandon their identity or spirituality.
We also offer the option for our wholesale partners and retail customers to contribute to these projects directly, turning every purchase into a thread in a much larger web of care, reciprocity, and regeneration.
Why It Matters
In a time of planetary crisis, disconnection, and cultural amnesia, the plants and peoples of the forest hold a key. They remind us of who we are. They help us heal, remember, and reawaken.
Sacred Connection is here to protect those teachings, support those guardians, and make it possible for you — wherever you are in the world — to engage with sacred medicine in a way that is safe, ethical, and truly respectful.

Whether you are a lifelong practitioner, a student of the plants, or someone taking their first steps on the path of reconnection, we welcome you to walk with us. At Sacred Connection, we are here to serve the Earth, the spirits, the teachers, and all those who hear the call.
