The Healing Wisdom of Africa by Malidoma Patrice Some
Through The Healing Wisdom of Africa, readers can come to understand that the life of indigenous and traditional people is a paradigm for an intimate relationship with the natural world that both surrounds us and is within us. The book is the most complete study of the role ritual plays in the lives of African people--and the role it can play for seekers in the West.Malidoma Patrice Somé, a medicine man and diviner in the Dagra culture, was born in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) West Africa and is initiated in his tribe's ancestral traditions. He has three master's degrees and two doctorates from Sorbonne University and Brandeis University, as well as teaching experience at the University of Michigan. He now spends his time speaking and giving intense courses across the United States with his wife, Sobonfu.
