The Spirit of Intimacy
In this re-issue, the spiritual insights of indigenous Africa take their place beside those of Ancient Europe, Asia and native America as important influences on Western readers. The author reveals the role of spirit in every friendship, relationship, marriage and community. Her ideas are persuasive, healing and supported by practical advice.
Falling Out of Grace
This long-awaited work by African spiritual leader Sobonfu Som reflects the profound developments in Som's thought and teaching since the publication of her first two bestselling books, "The Spirit of Intimacy" (1997) and "Welcoming Spirit Home" (2000). Som is a compassionate student of life who has contemplated deeply the nature of personal triumph and defeat.
Welcoming Spirit Home
A natural sequel to Some's book on ritual and intimacy, this book draws on the wisdom of the African ancestors to show how to build communities where children are not only welcomed but prized.
Ritual
The stories within these books have the poignancy of new discoveries as well as the unworn imagination of the ancestors. The commentary has the sharp edge of modern thought and the intricacy which results from the intellect being woven through the ritual complexities of tribal life. The purpose of constructing thresholds that bring this world together is to find the powers that can heal the rends in tribal as well as modern communities.? --Michael Meade, from the Introduction Versed in the languages of psychology, comparative literature, as well as ancient mythology, healing, and divination, Malidoma Patrice Some bridges paths between the ancient tribal world of the West African Dagara culture and modern Western society. Ritual is written with wild imagination, careful critical reflection, and intuitive insights that will force the reader to encounter the world anew.
Of Water and the Spirit
A renowned healer and shaman’s life-changing journey of discovery, healing, and wisdom “Malidoma has kept faith with the ancestors and with his own heart. His journey is a shimmering ‘missing piece’ in the story of the earth.” —Alice Walker When he was a young boy growing up in Burkina Faso, Malidoma Somé was taken from his village and brought to a Jesuit mission school, where he spent years being harshly indoctrinated in European ways of thought and worship. In this vivid and paradigm-shifting memoir, Malidoma recounts his journey home—and his initiation into the healing traditions of the Dagara culture, where the natural and supernatural blend together, and every person is encircled by family, community, and the wisdom of ancestors. By turns humbling, harrowing, magical, and transcendent, Malidoma’s spiritual awakening imparted ancient wisdom that he would spend the rest of his life sharing with others around the world—as an antidote to alienation, a tool for self-transformation, and a bridge between cultures and worlds.
Walking With Sobonfu
Susan Hough experienced a profound shift in her life when she first encountered the works of Sobonfu Somé. What she didn't realize, at the time, was that those books would lead her to a profound lifelong connection with the author. Through her friendship with Sobonfu, Hough's life expanded in deeper, more meaningful, and more spiritual ways. Walking with Sobonfu chronicles Hough's friendship with Sobonfu as they share experiences in North America as well as in Africa. This book is filled with the wisdom of both women and invites the reader to dive deeply into the richness of their own lives through rituals and ceremonies that bring about stronger connections to themselves, the earth, and their communities. Hough's remarkable experiences are a tribute to the power of connection and friendship and are a powerful reminder of what it means to embrace one's own voice and live from a place of deep authenticity.
