Explore the Sacred Kuripe Pipe

Sacred Connection is your go-to source for authentic Kuripe pipes. These handcrafted tools are used for ceremonial and personal Rapé applications, and have a long history among Amazonian tribes in the northern regions of Brazil. With a unique shape that allows for self-administration of Rapé powder, they’re an ideal way to explore the many spiritual benefits of this profound shamanic medicine, connecting heart, breath, and spirit through sacred intention and tradition. 

What is a Kuripe?

A Kuripe pipe is a ceremonial tool used in solo Rapé practice. Rapé (pronounced ha-peh) is a powdered plant medicine that promotes self-healing, connection, chakra balancing, and enhanced meditation, and plays a key role in Amazonian spiritual ceremonies. 

Unlike the Tepi pipe, which requires another person for administration, a Kuripe can be used on your own. This is due to its “V” shaped design, which allows you to blow from the mouthpiece directly into your nostril, where Rapé is propelled into your nasal cavity. Try a Kuripe with all types of Rapé, including the commonly used Yawanawa or Nukini varieties. 

Note that there are several traditional materials used in Kuripe pipes. Explore our collection today to find the wood, bone, metal, or bamboo Kuripe that’s right for you.
