Summary

in The Spirit of Intimacy, renowned teacher and spiritual guide Sobonfu Somé shares the timeless wisdom of her West African village, distilling ancient teachings into clear and practical lessons on relationships, community and spiritual connection. Born in Dano, Burkina Faso, Somé grew up in a culture where family bonds, ritual practices, and the role of spirit in daily life have been honored for thousands of years. 
This audiobook brings her influential work to listeners in a new way, offering insights that reveal how spirit shapes marriage, friendship, and community. Somé explores the sacred meaning of pleasure, the preparation of ritual spaces for intimacy, and the deep links between sexuality and spirituality. She also speaks to the challenges of modern life, addressing themes such as the illusion of romance, the realities of divorce and loss, and the rituals that can help heal and renew our connections. 
Engaging and thought-provoking, The Spirit of Intimacy offers listeners both practical guidance and spiritual depth. It places indigenous African wisdom alongside the world's great spiritual traditions, providing a profound journey into the heart of intimacy, ritual, and love.
