Lecture with Malidoma Some

We are excited to announce a Friday evening June and weekend workshop with one the truly great shamans from the African continent: Malidoma Some.

"The endless challenges faced daily in this culture could be traced back to a disturbing relationship with ancestors.  This in turn, could be a reflection of the rather dysfunctional relationship forced upon people by the circumstances of modernity.  How do we repair, heal, and honor the undying tie with our forbears? How can this reflect on our relationship with this world and with each other in family and in community?  These are some of the questions that this weekend will attempt to address.  We will engage our ancestors, the good and the bad, the appealing and the less than appealing in an attempt to clear whatever dirty laundry has been the unfinished homework that together we must do. We will learn of their wishes and share ours with them.  Together with them we will ritualize our mutual concerns in an initiative that heals our world and theirs."
