The Spirit of Intimacy (Sobonfu Somé)

Dear Internations,

Here is another event to discuss a new book. This time "The Spirit of Intimacy".

"The Spirit of Intimacy" by Sobonfu Somé is a profound exploration of African spirituality, relationships, and community. First published in Protected content , the book brings forth the wisdom of the Dagara people of Burkina Faso, providing insight into how intimacy is understood and fostered within a deeply spiritual and communal context. Somé offers readers a path toward healing, connection, and understanding in both romantic and community relationships, challenging modern, individualistic approaches to intimacy.

Through personal stories, rituals, and cultural teachings, The Spirit of Intimacy invites us to reflect on the role of community, spirituality, and ancient practices in fostering deep human connections. Somé shows that true intimacy transcends the private sphere and extends into a communal, spiritual dimension that is often overlooked in modern relationships.
