What Is A Tepi?
The Tepi is a shared applicator designed to administer hapé from one person to another in a strict ceremonial setting. The materials are similar to that of a kuripe, one side of the piece goes into the mouth of the person administering, while the other, smaller hole goes into the nostril of the person receiving it. Tepis vary in length, ranging anywhere from a few inches to up to two feet long!
Traditionally, the way hapé was administered was through a tepi pipe, as it is a very shamanic exchange of energy passed from the Healer or Shaman to the patient.
Usage solely at the customers discretion.
Serving Others
A very powerful ceremony as your experience is enhanced with the intention of the server. The server uses a Tepi pipe and follows the same process as above.
