About Product
We are excited and grateful to provide these gorgeous handmade tepis from a Shipibo artisan family featuring rosewood for heart opening, bringing joy and sweetness in your life.
Intricate Shipibo beadwork on these pieces represent the Icaros (chants of the culture). Each woven seed represents a prayer and intention being woven into the design. It is said that when one of these tepis calls to you, it signifies that the prayer of the specific piece resonates with the vibration in your own soul’s blueprint. You are being called to support you in deepening within the specific power or intention that that weaving invokes. This tepi provides for a smooth and clean application. Enjoy this high quality pipe that will last many years!

1
Create Sacred Space
Set up your altar. Light a candle. Smudge with sage, palo santo, or copal. Have a bucket, tissue, and water nearby. Silence your phone. Step into sacred space with intention.
-
2
Set Your Intention
Before touching the medicine, sit quietly. Allow a clear prayer or intention to arise. Let it come from the heart. The plants will hear it.
-
3
Determine Dosage
Begin with a pea-sized amount. Ceremonial doses are larger, reserved for deep purification with an established practice. Start small and build a relationship with the medicine over time.
-
4
Load the Medicine
Spoon the dosage onto your palm. Use the nostril side of applicator to gently flatten it. Scoop half into the pipe. Hold the kuripe to your heart or third eye in a moment of gratitude before beginning.
-
5
Application
Inhale fully and hold the breath. Insert the kuripe into the left nostril. Exhale sharply through the mouth end, blowing the medicine upward. Reload and apply to the right nostril. Apply both sides consecutively with minimal time between.
-
6
Receive & Surrender
Put the kuripe down. Sit or lie in stillness. Do not resist. Breathe through any intensity. Let the plants cleanse.
-
7
Prayer & Meditation
When stillness arrives, enter into presence and prayer. Speak to the Creator, to the plant spirits, to your ancestors. Listen and receive the guidance, insights, and teachings.

How to Care for Your Applicator
Your kuripe or tepi is both a functional tool and a sacred totem.
Thoughtful care keeps the airway clear, protects its handcrafted materials, and supports a clean and intentional practice.
ROUTINE CARE
Before and after use, smudge your applicator with copal, palo santo, or another smudging agent for spiritual cleansing and purification. Hold it in prayer, reconnect with your intention, and offer gratitude for the medicine and the hands that created it.
After each use, tap out any remaining Hapé and blow through the applicator away from your face. Pass a clean, dry pipe cleaner, soft brush, or cotton swab through the airway to remove loose residue. Dual-nostril applicators should be cleaned through both channels.
SANITATION & SHARING
A kuripe is a personal applicator and should not be shared, both for sanitary reasons and spiritual hygiene reasons.
When serving others with a tepi, clean all contact points immediately after each recipient. We recommend using an alcohol based healing lotion or agua de florida to sanitize, like the ones we sell in our shop.
DEEP CLEANING
If airflow becomes restricted, gently loosen compacted Hapé with a dry pipe cleaner or flexible cleaning brush, working from both ends without forcing the blockage deeper. For stubborn residue, lightly dampen the cleaning tool with warm water, then allow the applicator to dry thoroughly.
Inspect your applicator regularly. If you notice mold, a persistent odor, deep cracks, or residue that cannot be removed, discontinue use. When an applicator has completed its cycle, we recommend giving it back to the Earth as a form of spiritual payment.
