A renowned, respected teacher and mentor to thousands, Sobonfu Some is one of the first and foremost voices of African spirituality to come to the West. In 'The Spirit of Intimacy' she applies the subtle knowledge from her West African culture to this one and reveals the role of spirit in every friendship, relationship, marriage and community. Her important and fascinating lessons include ways to make our intimate lives more fulfilling and secure: the sacred meaning of pleasure, preparing a ritual space for intimacy, the connection between sex and spirituality and divorce and loss. Her ideas are intuitively persuasive provocative and healing - and supported by sound practical advice. With this book, the spiritual insights of indigenous Africa take their place beside those of ancient Europe, Asia and native America as important influences of Western readers.

<p>In this profound and sensitive work, African spiritual teacher Sobonfu Somé invites readers to discover in the setbacks they encounter in life a path to healing and rebirth. Her message is drawn from the ancient wisdom teachings of her village in Burkina Faso, and her experiences over more than a decade here in the West. Somé is a gifted storyteller and compassionate student of life who has contemplated deeply the nature of human triumph and defeat. The insights she offers, blending indigenous wisdom and hard experience in the contemporary West, are priceless. Without denying the suffering that accompanies loss and disappointment, she finds in these events the underlying spiritual dynamics that carry us to higher states of knowledge and fulfillment.</p>
