Before you arrive
Prepare
Ceremony is simpler when the practical things are already handled. Ticks stay on this device only — they are not sent to David.
For ceremony
Hapé, sananga, cacao, or a group evening at Soul Barns.

For a sit at home
How to be in the room
- Arrive a little early. Late energy is loud, even when you whisper.
- You can say no to any offering. Consent is part of the medicine.
- Do not photograph other people, the altar, or the medicines.
- If you need to leave, leave. You do not owe a performance of staying.
- What is shared in circle stays in circle.
- Talk to David about health, medication, pregnancy, or fear before you sit.
Questions people actually ask
Do I need experience?
No. First-timers are welcome. You will be guided. Come curious, not prepared with a performance of being spiritual.
Will I hallucinate?
No. Hapé, sananga, cacao, Reiki, meditation and sound are not visionary psychedelics. They can be intense, emotional, or deeply still — you remain here.
What should I do after a ceremony?
Go slowly. Water, simple food, an early night, a few lines in the journal. Avoid stacking the evening with noise. Integration is mostly ordinary kindness toward yourself.
Can I do this at home instead?
Meditation, breath, journaling, and walking — yes, and this app is for that. Hapé and sananga are best received with a trained facilitator, especially the first times. Please do not learn them from a page.
Are hapé and sananga for anyone?
They are for adults 18 and over, in a held ceremony. They are not medical treatments. Read the health screening on the Book page before you reserve a place, and tell David about pregnancy, heart or blood-pressure issues, medications, and any eye condition.
Where does my journal go?
