Somé a shaman from the Dagara people in West Africa illustrates the purpose ritual serves in the lives of African people and the manner & ways that spirit, nature & ritual connect and become a powerful force to nurture and support the life and purpose of the people. He also examines, explains and analyzes the connection between African people and nature, and the negative impact this lack of connection has been to the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual detriment of Blacks in the west. “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.” (penguinrandomhousehighereducation.com)
