A revealing exploration of traditional healing practices, by a renowned shaman and scholar
Bridging ancestral wisdom from West Africa with the challenges of modern life in the West, this acclaimed book offers a wealth of insights into indigenous knowledge and how it speaks to the chronic problems of our fast-paced, disconnected world. Drawing on his lived experience within the Dagara culture as well as his extensive studies and teachings, Malidoma Somé's observations on healing, community, and ritual present powerful ways to become more connected--to the natural world, to the intergenerational village that can mentor and support every person, and ultimately to the truest, unmasked parts of ourselves. "Profoundly wise and fascinating...Malidoma Patrice Somé has delivered an incomparably meaningful gift to us wanderers and seekers in the West."
-- Alice Walker "An amazing bridge over the chasm of modern isolation. Malidoma reawakens the rituals of the heart. This is profound, brilliant, and accessible medicine for us."
-- Jack Kornfield
