Sobonfu Somé has made it her life’s mission to share the ancient wisdom of her ancestors—the Dagara of Burkina Faso, West Africa—with Westerners. She is the author of several books, including The Spirit of Intimacy, Welcoming Spirit Home, and Falling Out of Grace. Filled with grace and eloquence, Sobonfu possesses a charm and modesty that enables her to touch audiences deeply. Her message about the importance of spirit, community and ritual in our lives rings with an intuitive power and truth that Alice Walker has said “can help us put together so many things that our modern western world has broken.”
