| | Eli Anderson Opening quote - "Nobody gets a mouthful of food by picking between another's teeth" Igbo proverb. Eli Anderson uses the ancient craft of storytelling and drumming to reflect positively upon the critical issues of life. He truly enjoys the opportunity to share this craft through storytelling in a variety of environments where people are seeking intuitive answers to difficult and challenging questions. His unique approach and continued support makes him essential to the Nne Agwu Afrakan Storytelling Festival creative team. In these sessions we will explore the impact of the stories we tell ourselves and others. We also discover that understanding our spirituality may help us to determine the validity of these stories. | | |

SOBUNFU SOMÉ transitioned Tuesday 14th January 2014 |
|
|
In this profound and sensitive work, Spiritual teacher Sobonfu Some 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. Some 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. |
