WE ARE SOLD OUT!
There's a clear difference between experiencing Rapeh sitting on a lounge room floor while listening to a favorite playlist and receiving it in a traditional ceremony.
In November, someone came to us after having experienced different Rapeh ceremonies elsewhere. "They all felt the same," he said. "Just another spiritual high that faded by morning."
Three hours later, he understood why.
Unfortunately, these days, Rapeh has become something different - offered in group settings, mixed with other practices, and often treated as another tool for quick enlightenment while sitting in the lounge room with friends and a playlist.
But there's an older way.
A quieter way.
Hi, I'm Rodolfo De Angeli, and I'm the founder of Ancient Ceremonies, the premier traditional Andean and Amazonian Shamanic Sanctuary in Australia and Peru.
For nearly two decades, I've been on the path of traditional Peruvian curanderismo and what started as my own journey of healing and finding myself then became an apprenticeship under my renowned teachers, Maestro Huachumero Don Howard Lawler and Banco Ayahuasquero Don Rober Acho Jarama.
Through year long apprenticeships with Huachuma, Ayahuasca and plant dietas and years of ceremonial practice, I've learned that true healing is simple.
What Happens in Traditional CeremonIES
When you remove the modern elements - the group dynamics, the performance, the spiritual bypassing - something true emerges.
The medicine creates a still point, a sacred space where truth can be seen clearly.
This isn't about visions or temporary insights. It's about seeing clearly, perhaps for the first time.
Marcus's story shows this difference...
"For twelve years, I lived with debilitating anxiety, dependent on medication. In traditional ceremony, the medicine showed me my truth in a way I'd never seen before. Today, I live without medication - something my psychiatrist called 'impossible."
Michael, another participant, expressed it this way...
"Life changing & profoundly insightful is an understatement. The space that Rodolfo & Grace created was beautiful and effortlessly facilitated this experience. If you are reading this, I can guarantee you can get what you want & need from it."
THe TRaditional way
The ceremony itself is simple. This simplicity is its strength.
What You'll Experience
1. Sacred Space
A clean, quiet environment.
No decorations or distractions. Just the essential elements that have served this tradition for generations.
As Beth noted, "The simplicity made it impossible to hide from myself - and that's where the real healing began."
2. The Medicine
The Rapeh is served traditionally, with respect.
This isn't about quantity - it's about the right relationship with the medicine.
Unlike the common practice of sourcing medicine online or through unreliable "connections," we maintain a direct relationship with the Huni Kuin Tribe of Brazil, ensuring our Rapeh is:
• Authentically prepared using traditional methods
• Fresh and potent, never stored for extended periods
• Ethically sourced through direct tribal relationships
• Blessed and charged according to ancestral practices
3. The Icaros
The sacred songs you'll hear are traditional, received through years of plant dietas.
These songs emerged from silence and carry the direct teachings of the plants.
They serve as bridges between ancient wisdom and modern healing.
4. The Silence
Perhaps the most important element is what's not there.
No guided journeys, no background music, no sharing circles. In true silence, your own wisdom emerges.
As Marcus shared after his experience, "In that silence, I finally heard what my anxiety had been trying to tell me for twelve years."
5. The Integration
Seven days after the ceremony, we meet one-on-one.
This isn't just a check-in, but a careful looking at what emerged in ceremony.
We've found that seven days allows the initial insights to settle and deeper understanding to surface.
This is when many participants, like Nerida, begin to fully understand the depth of their transformation.
Who This Is For
This traditional ceremony is for you if:
• You're looking for genuine transformation, not just an experience
• You're ready to face your truth in a grounded, supported way
• You respect the difference between traditional practice and modern interpretations
• You understand that real healing happens in silence and simplicity
• You're willing to commit to your own healing journey
Who This Is Not For
• Psychonauts collecting spiritual experiences
• Those seeking a social or entertainment event
• Those more interested in talking about the experience than living its lessons
• Anyone unwilling to respect traditional protocols
• Those looking for a quick fix or instant enlightenment
"This work calls for those ready to meet themselves honestly. It's not about the intensity of the experience - it's about your readiness for real change." Keith R.

Why We Choose Truth Over Comfort
A personal note from Rodolfo
When I started my journey over 15 years ago, I found myself in spaces where everything was "love and light."
The person I entrusted was extremely soft spoken in a way that never felt authentic or real.
It was during this time that I nearly lost my sanity.
Behind the beautiful, caring words, I met someone who sure didn't have my best interests at heart, or anyone else's.
The gentle language was merely a facade, drawing me into his web.
Everything changed when I arrived in Peru and met the people who would become my teachers.
There, I discovered what real healing work looks like in the real world.
These people cared for me more deeply than perhaps anyone had before, yet they were always direct.
They never sugarcoated anything.
They were just... normal!
This directness didn't just serve me then - it transformed my entire life.
So when you read our words, don't mistake directness for lack of care.
The opposite is true.
We care so deeply about your well-being, safety, and results that we choose radical honesty over comfortable illusions.
We will never hide behind a "love and light" mask.
Instead, we come to you with transparency, integrity, and genuine respect.
This is what real care looks like in traditional healing work.
We hope you can appreciate it.
"Rodolfo is humble and won't take credit, but he's extremely supportive and transparent in his work. If you're considering this path, this is the person you want to guide you." - Roger D.
Common Questions
"Is this like other Rapeh ceremonies?"
No. Most modern ceremonies have become social or experiential events.
This is different - it's traditional curanderismo, maintained through years of study with Maestro Huachumero Don Howard Lawler and Banco Ayahuasquero Don Rober Acho Jarama.
"The difference isn't just in the ceremony - it's in the depth of transformation that follows."
"Why do you include a separate Cacao ceremony?"
The Rapeh ceremony remains completely pure and traditional.
After proper spacing that honors the completion of this work, the Cacao ceremony is offered separately.
This is led by Simone from Elementals Love Aloha, a dedicated practitioner who has been working with us extensively over the years and who shares our commitment to traditional values.
"I’ve been sitting in the healing spaces created by Ancient Ceremonies for my personal journey of self-reclamation and self-empowerment. The safe container created by Rodolfo allowed me to truly surrender and be open for the deep transformational plant medicine ceremonies. Rapeh has been serving me to purge out so many self limiting beliefs. Then when I was stepping out of the journeys I’ve always felt a still and grounded mind, clarity and an empowered sense of who I truly am." Simone Vignacci
Each ceremony stays distinct and complete - there's no mixing of practices.
We offer both because we believe in supporting authentic traditional work in all its forms, while keeping each practice pure and respected in its own right.
"What if I've never done this before?"
Previous experience isn't needed.
What matters is your intention and readiness.
"I had no experience with plant medicine, just a deep knowing that I needed something different. That knowing was enough." - Marcus P.
"Is there purging? I don't like it."
Purging can be part of the cleansing process with Rapeh.
Our intimate setting of maximum 10 participants ensures privacy and personalised attention.
Remember, in traditional practice, purging is seen as a release of what no longer serves you - physical, emotional, or energetic.
"What about my anxiety/mental health concerns?"
This is why we keep the group small and screen carefully.
Marcus's story of transforming twelve years of anxiety shows what's possible in a properly held traditional container.
We'll discuss your specific situation during our initial conversation.
"Will it interfere with my medication?"
No. In contrast to other plant medicines, Rapeh does not interfere with western medications.
This is one of the unique aspects of working with Rapeh in traditional ceremony - it's accessible while maintaining your current medical support.
"Why the screening process?"
Traditional ceremony needs the right space.
Each person affects this space.
"Rodolfo offers a beautiful safe and authentic experience deeply steeped in traditional practices. A special experience for anyone wanting to go deeper with sacred medicines in a potent way." Michaela B.
"What makes your approach traditional?"
• No modern additions
• Traditional Icaros from plant dietas
• Proper spacing and timing
• Personal integration support
• Small group size
• Focus on the medicine itself
• Direct relationship with Huni Kuin tribe for pure medicine
"What preparation is needed?"
If accepted, you'll receive simple, clear guidance.
The key is your willingness to meet the medicine with honesty and respect.
A Final Word
If you've read this far, you likely sense this is different from what's commonly offered today.
This isn't about adding another experience to your journey.
It's about returning to something older, simpler, and true.
"WARNING! Your life will change if you sit in sacred circle with Rodolfo and Grace!If you are seeking a deep, powerful journey with SAFE facilitators, you've found it with Ancient Ceremonies. Rodolfo is a humble servant and master to the ancient wisdom and lineage of the plant medicine you will journey with. The depth of care and support you receive, will surpass anything you have experienced from other facilitators. His words are authentic, his guidance firm, and he is fully present with you at every step; from the pre ceremony connect call, to the post ceremony check in and beyond. Rodolfo is not a half baked shaman peddling an easy trip to the ecstasy of your self gratification. To journey in sacred circle with him, is to journey to that which serves you for your highest good. You will be surprised at what awaits you. As a facilitator of sacred circles and journeys myself, my extremely high expectations and standards of safe energy practices is paramount to how deeply I can journey. My first Rapeh Ceremony with Roldolfo and Grace was a mind blowing experience that has enabled me to understand and accept the greater capacity and resource that I AM. With my deepest respect and gratitude Rodolfo, I honour you." Fabiene L.
The traditional way is simple but deep.
There are no promises of instant enlightenment or guaranteed visions.
What we offer is a clear space held by proper tradition - a space where your own truth can emerge, as it has for countless others before you.
