Sobonfu Som�, whose name means "keeper of ritual," was born and raised in Burkina Faso, the former Upper Volta. She is an initiated member of the Dagara tribe of West Africa. Sobonfu and her husband, Malidoma Som�, teach the ancient wisdom of their tribe throughout the world.
"With a generous and tender heart, Sobonfu Som� holds out her hand. From her extended palm, she offers simply stated pearls--mined from the wisdom and lives of her West African Dagara village elders, brothers, and sisters--about the importance of a living, breathing, continual connection with spirit and community; about the ways to experience a genuine intimacy with life itself." -- Clarissa Pinkola Est�s, PhD, author of Women Who Run with the Wolves"There's much wisdom about relationship here. Sobonfu Som� generously applies subtle knowledge from her West African culture to this one. Simply to read what she has to say--about community, ritual, marriage, and intimacy--is to find something fresh and healthy for one's own life." -- Robert Bly, author of Iron John"This book is a timely and timeless gift. It is sweet with wisdom, bright with intelligence, and rich with revelations of the role of spirit in every marriage, friendship, and community." -- Michael Meade, author of Men and the Water of Life
