Ancestors and Spirits: Who's Watching Us?
At Agape's "Revelation" conference, Hans had the pleasure of working alongside Malidoma Somé, who is a spiritual elder of the Dagara tribe of West Africa. His mission is to bring the ancient spiritual ways and wisdom of indigenous Africa to the West. Dr. Somé holds two PhDs from the Sorbonne and Brandeis University, and he has written three books,
Of Water and the Spirit,
Ritual: Power, Healing and Community, and
The Healing Wisdom of Africa.
It is our relationship with our ancestors and spirit allies that will support us presently and in times to come. Therefore, it is important to engage our ancestors to learn of their wishes and share ours with them.
- Who are "Ancestors"?
- Are They the same as Spirit?
- Who are the Dagara people and what is important to them?
"Together with Them [Ancestors] we will ritualize our mutual concerns in an initiative that heals our world and theirs." —Malidoma Somé
