Many people consider Malidoma Somé to be the most important living interpreter of African indigenous wisdom in the west. As divined by his elders before he was born, he has devoted his life in many ways and in many places around the world to building a bridge between two apparently conflicting cultures.

The East Coast Village in Cherry Plain, NY, is one such place. Malidoma has committed himself to helping us create a physical and spiritual home here in upstate New York where the Dagara knowledge can be taught and people can come to receive the healing they need to find and live their life purpose.

A personal message from Malidoma

Dear Friend,

The time for a vigorous act of devotion to, and embracing of the indigenous wisdom of Africa has come. After centuries of silence and in hiding, the teachings and wisdom of the Ancestors are rising up to lead the world into the next level of consciousness and spirituality. As we know, the African continent is not just the birthplace of mankind but also the repository of profound unseen powers and technologies. These technologies remain on standby ready to contribute to a radical healing change much needed in the world today...

This calls for a dedicated initiative on the part of those in whose heart ancient Africa speaks. I invite those who hear the call to check in for this exciting and compelling journey home. From that place one can expect to find out how much of the old, ancient ways inside of them have been waiting to burst out in service to the world's need for healing and transformation. This multi-part program is offered in response to that call and is designed for those who want to serve the purpose of this new era. It lays the groundwork, deeply and profoundly, for a personal leap into the magical and spiritual technological legacies of our Ancestors.

In peace and Healing,

Malidoma Somé
