Description
Malidoma Somé's life-changing journey of discovery, healing, and wisdom is a testament to the power of embracing one's heritage and the natural world. Born into a traditional Dagara culture, Malidoma's story begins with his forced departure from his village and his subsequent indoctrination in European ways of thought and worship.
As he recounts his journey home, Malidoma shares his initiation into the healing traditions of his people, where the boundaries between the natural and supernatural are blurred. His spiritual awakening imparted ancient wisdom that he would spend the rest of his life sharing with others, offering a powerful antidote to alienation and a tool for self-transformation.
This vivid and paradigm-shifting memoir is a profound exploration of the human experience, one that blends the mystical with the mundane and the personal with the universal. With its themes of identity, community, and the interconnectedness of all things, Malidoma Somé's story is a compelling and thought-provoking read.
