The Grief Ritual is one of the most important of the Dagara people of West Africa. Sobonfu Somé, part of the Dagara people, brought this practice into the West.
In Western society, the act of grieving isn’t very common. Or doing ’emotional’ work in a group setting is even less so. Increasingly people feel a lack of community or family feeling living such individualistic and disconnected day to day lives.
However when we grieve together, not only does it help the individual to heal, it also helps strengthen the entire community fabric.
This soul-cleansing rite helps clear away the grief we carry from the difficult times.
