The Spirit of Intimacy: Ancient African Teachings in the Ways of Relationships

Sobonfu generously applies the subtle knowledge from her West African culture to this one. Simply and beautifully, she reveals the role of spirit in every marriage, friendship, relationship, and community. She shares ancient ways to make our intimate lives more fulfilling and secure and offers powerful insights into the "illusion of romance," divorce, and loss. Her important and fascinating lessons from the heart include the sacred meaning of pleasure, preparing a ritual space for intimacy, and the connection between sex and spirituality. Her ideas are intuitively persuasive, provocative, and healing--and supported by sound practical advice, along with specific rituals and ceremonies based on those used for thousands of years. With this book, the spiritual insights of indigenous Africa take their place alongside those of native America, ancient Europe, and Asia as important influences on Western readers. $12.99

Welcoming Spirit Home: Ancient African Teachings to Celebrate Children and Community

In this elegantly packaged book, Sobonfu Somé shows how today's parents can learn from the Dagara tribe's teachings and explains why children are considered the soul of every Dagara village. And how each child, in the African view of things, is valuable and irreplaceable. Along with elders, they are the VIPs of tribal life. In order to illustrate just what this means, Somé outlines nine rituals connected with the incoming soul of a child enacted during preconception, pregnancy, the birth process, and afterwards. These rituals accent the child's purpose and his or her meaningful role in the context of the community. After reading Welcoming Spirit Home, you'll want to give more attention and intention to the celebration of your children's birth, growth, and role in the larger community. Ritual, on these pages, is the sacred path to what Somé calls "continuous prayer."

"This is a teacher who can help us put together so many things that our modern Western World has broken,"
-- Alice Walker, Author of The Color Purple.

Falling Out of Grace: Meditations on loss, healing and wisdom

"This book received a quality and the 2004 best book review from the American bookseller association."

When African spiritual teacher Sobonfu Some underwent a major transformation in her life, the widely respected mentor found herself "fallen out of grace" with her family, students, and community. In an effort to understand this situation, her students more than ever became her teachers. And through them, she learned that losses and failures are a natural, even necessary, part of being human. Some brings this universal law to her third book, where she addresses ways to respond to disappointment in oneself and others with strength, creativity, and faith. Focusing on seven principal arenas of life - romantic, spiritual, familial, professional, political, communal, and mortal - she describes how individuals can approach and respond to inherent challenges in each. $14.00
