SAVE THE DATES!! March 4-6, 2011
Sobonfu Some is coming to Santa Barbara
Event Hosted by Wilderness Youth Project
There is a deep longing among people in the West to connect with something bigger -- with community and spirit. People know there is something missing in their lives, and believe that the rituals and ancient ways of the village offer some answers. -- Sobonfu Some
Sobonfu is a daughter of the Dagara tribal community. Dagara rituals are about healing, acknowledgment of people and their gifts, and making spirit tangible by preparing mind, body and soul to receive the spirituality that is all around us. With regular use of ritual, we find our way back to wholeness, peace and acceptance of self and others. She will be sharing her grief ritual with our community as a way to release grief, lighten your soul, let your true spirit be heard and help you become more balanced.
The weekend will be held in Santa Barbara, exact location is TBD. Details to come.
